Andrea Lamont, daughter of Mr and Mrs W. A. Lamont, 16 Maki Street, has been overseas for the past 16 months. She was in England for nine months from where she toured the continent with June Faulkiner and Trudy McCullough including visits to West and East Berlin. Andrea also had three weeks' holiday in Cannes where she saw many noted film stars. She left England and has spent the last seven months in New York where she experienced the coldest winter she has ever known. Andrea is now on her way to Canada for an indefinite period. The picture was taken at the Statue of Liberty and shows Andrea with Lower Manhattan in the background.
