fortunate to have contacts in mos of the islands and so found each and every one that we visited unique in its own way i was overwhelmed with hospitality and my fellow passengers were a jolly lot so

great attraction continued on page 12 living organism how ever in this article we will deal with those boredom and frustration to escape from problems and per haps to protest one question put by the

organization and that a successor was almost certainly already employed by the company the company feels that with little knowledge of bermuda's needs they would think it reasonable to say they could

canada in the next 4 years i think bermuda has the possibility of putting in a few boxers it is his aim to get some of bermuda's young boxers ready to partici pate he will be turning all of his

i know is that it culminated in an interesting adventure — mr gorham indicated the matter was currently under review by government and he made an undertaking to the chamber that they would be in a position to develop further discussions by the first of april this year in the hope of resolving some of the current problems voiced by the cham rates why is drug abuse prevalent today tlie misuse of drugs is not a new phenomenon different the problem is also one of people and their feelings and mr thomas is also looking forward to putting on a box ing show in between the pro motions of the
