SAFER GUNS FOR SAMOA
Independence Gift (K.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) APIA, January 4. New Zealand is giving Western Samoa a ceremonial shooting battery as part of its gift to mark independence. The existing guns at Pilot Point, Apia, are considered quite unsafe to use, and the police had to use gelignite buried in the sand for a “19gun” salute during Monday’s formal independence ceremonies.
