VISITOR'S QUEST
A PLACE TO SETTLE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS TOUR Doctor, barrister and author, Dr. E. Jacomb, of England, is seeking a place in which he may spend his retirement. He returned to Auckland by the Matua after a tour of the lower group of the Cook Islands. Dr. Jacomb said he had not yet decided where he would settle, but it would probably be in the West Indies. He had enjoyed his visit to the Cook Islands, and was impressed by Rarotonga, lie objected, however, to the liquor restrictions there.
“I am 58 years of age, not a baby, and I think the liquor restrictions there are absurd,” said Dr. Jacomb.
"It is not as though by these restrictions the white is saving the native, because the native is not being saved. He makes his orange beer. He can easily get oranges and sugar. The first thing I saw when I went ashore at Rarotonga was a native drunk.
