NEW PUBLICAT fON FROH t1i\RC

DIRK BALLENDORF Director of the t1icronesian Area Research Center sent us the fol release:

The t1icronesian Area Research Center (t1ARC) announces the publication of a new t, The Mariana Islands, published originally in 1889 in French, now translated into English by University of Guam Professor Sylvia E. and edited t1ARC associate editor Robert D. Craig. The fifty-two page booklet is a report written by Antoine-Alfred Marche, a French explorer, ethnographer, and scientist after his two-year visit to the Mariana Islands (1887-1889).

After making the translation in 1981, Professor Cheng visited the I

~1usee de 1' Homme (Ethnographic t1useum) in Paris where she found to her delight thirty-one original photographs made by Harche during his visit. Twenty of these photographs are reproduced and published for the first time in this MARC translation. They represent the oldest known extant photographs taken of Cuam and the Mariana Islands.

One significant photograph is of Father Jose Torres Palomo taken about 1888 when he was fifty-one years of age, the earliest known photograph of him.

The pamphlet includes a short editor's preface and a translator's in­troduction, and it can be purchased from the Micronesian Area Research Center at a cost of US$3.25.

SPC PLANNING AND EVALUATION COMMITTEE CONCLUDES ITS WORK

The South Pacific Commission Planning and Evaluation Committee, which met at the South Pacific Commission Headquarters over a period of three days, carne to end on Friday 25 June 1982. This Committee was chaired by the newly-elected Vice-President of the Government Council of New Caledonia, M. Jean-Marie Tjibaou. The representative of the Federated States of Micronesia, Mr. Pedro Harris, was Vice-Chairman of the Committee meeting.

ln a statement at the official opening, the Secretary-General, Honourable M. Young Vivian, welcomed the Secretary-Ceneral Designate, Mr. Francis Bugotu, who will take up his new functions as Secretary-Ceneral of the SPC on l July.

One of the major items for discussion each year is the evaluation of SPC activities in the preceding year. The island governments and administrations expressed their satisfaction at SPC activities in 1981. This year the Committee paid special attention to the Mobile Trai Unit for Youth and Community Workers, currently based in

uro, Marshall Islands. In 1983, the Planning and Evaluation Committee will devote its attention to the Community Education Training Centre in Fiji.

The Secre ral, Honourable M. Young Vivian, presented the three-year Intergrated Work Programme and t for 1983, 1984, and 1985. 1~e Committee was informed that participating governments had increased their contri.bution to the 1983 budget by 6.69%. The Committee agreed to recommend to the Twenty-Second South Pacific Conference a Work Programme and Budget for 1983 totalling 407,313,600 CFP Francs.

The Committee chose two themes for discussion by the Twenty-Second South South Pacific Conference. They are a social theme ''Increasing Urbanization: An Inevitable Develop­ment?" and an economic theme "Rural Development: The Basis for ProgrL·ss in the Pacific".
