NEW ZEALAND COUPLE'S

JOURNEYS

MARRIAGE IN FALKLAND ISLES

Two journeys, one from England and the other from New Zealand, for a marriage rendezvous in the Falkland Islands were recently successfully undertaken by two well-known New Zealanders. The bride, Miss Moya Winifred Boak, of Tauranga, left Auckland three months ago on the first stages of a trip which took her a roundabout way through Honolulu, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Rio de Janeiro, arid Montevideo. Miss Boak. whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. C? W Boak, live at Tauranga, has many friends in Wellington, having spent two or three years here training at the dental clinic as a dental nurse.

The bridegroom, Mr. Harold L. Baker, elder son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Bakej, of Gisborne, journeyed from England to the Falkland Islands, where he has been given an appointment by the Colonial Office. He had a distinguished scholastic career in New Zealand, and was studying at the Sorbonne University in Paris when war broke out. He .made an adventurous escape from the. city three days before the German occupation. Since then he has been in England, where he has been continuing his studies. He was on air-raid duty throughout the blitz.
