Bowling Club For Port

Moresby

From Our Papua Correspondent A company is being formed to start a Bowling Club in Port Moresby.

The Hon. A. P. Lyons is the enthusi ast and he has many followers. Meet ings have been held and a committee formed. The site now has been chosen and it is certain in a very short time the green will be ready for play.

It is intended to use it particularly in the evenings by electric light, in order to while away the nights which are often very dull in Port Moresby.

It is stated in the annual report for 1928-29 for the Territory of Papua that the British New Guinea Development Co. Ltd. has spent a large sum in growing and manufacturing tobacco in Papua. The Government gave the com pany all the help it asked in the way of tariff protection. After some years of effort, tobacco growing now has been abandoned.
