A splendid souvenir issue pi the Auckland Weekly News, to commemorate Viscount Jellicoe's term of office as Gov-ernor-General of New Zealand, will be published on Wednesday.

It is bound to be received with the greatest enthusiasm throughout the Dominion. Included with the issue is a beautifullyexecuted presentation plate of the popular Governor-General's portrait, in two colours. A most striking likeness is faithfully reproduced and doubtless many readers will have their copies framed. The centre double-page is devoted to an excellent series of photographs portraying typical phases of His Excellency's activities, both in public and private life during his term of office. Pictures of historic interest show Viscount Jellicoe's arrival in New Zealand as GovernorGeneral and His Excellency performing the ceremony of opening his final Parliament in the Dominion.
