New X-Ray For Port
From Our Own Correspondent
Pt. Moresby, Aug. 25.
T'HE installation of the X-ray plant recently purchased by the Admini stration for the Port Moresby European Hospital is now complete.
The plant is a Stanford shock-proof mobile unit, carrying all requirements for X-ray diagnosis, both photographic and visual. Mounted on a rubber tyred trol ley, it is available for all wards, where it can be used at the bedside of patients.
The installation represents the first Aus tralian made shock-proof unit of this power (85,000 volts) to be exported from the Commonwealth.
The new X-ray serves an urgent need and is a forward step in the steady pro gress of the territory. A special annex to the European Hospital is to be built for the benefit of the natives needing X-ray treatment.
Messrs. Bernard F. W. Moore, A. T.
Hill, and J. F. Surr, recently arrived in Sydney from London by the Orsova as re cruits for the Melanesian Mission in the Western Pacific. They sailed from Syd ney for the Solomon Islands by the August Malaita. The three young men are remaining at Tulagi for the present, but it is probable that the Bishop shall call upon them shortly for work in the Melanesian Mission’s new sphere in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea.
