Ellis (37 years), M. Neilsen (25 years), Mason Robinson (30 years), L. Schroder (29 years), J. Mutch (23 years), and C. Bird (16 years). Others at the func tion were Brother Michael, who has been in the group for four years and Mr. E. Spence, (brother of the late “Bill”
Russell), of Morobe, New Guinea.
