A WARM TRIBUTE
COLONIAL SERVICE
I A warm tribute was paid by Lady Harlech to women members of the Colonial Service at a luncheon I attended recently, writes "The Sydney Morning Herald's" London correspondent. "The men of the Colonial Service have their work and their careers," said, "and the country recognises their value and their devotion to great traditions. "I think that the wives are sometimes forgotten. The real burden of a tropical climate, of frequent separation from children, and of setting an example of what an English home means in the Colonial dependencies, often under, great, difficulties, makes very great demands upon these women.
"It is impossible, therefore, to overstate the wonderful devotion they show."
