New Guinea
MR. J. K. TWYCROSS, who was radio inspector in New Guinea for Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia) Limited, has been transferred to the branch of A.W.A. which deals specially with civil aviation radio service, and he will be stationed in Perth, Western Australia, in future.
Mr. Twycross knows New Guinea well —he had represented Amalgamated Wireless there for over 12 years. He was successively at Woodlark Island (Eastern Papua), Bitapaka (New Britain), Morobe, Madang, Kavieng, and Rabaul. He spent the last few years in Rabaul, which included the 1937 erup tion. Before leaving Rabaul on April 15, Mr. Twycross was the guest of honour at numerous private and public functions and many presentations were given, testifying to the high regard in which Mr. and Mrs. Twycross are held.
Mr. Twycross is a Western Austra lian, and his transfer to his home State was very welcome.
Miss May Sharpe, M.A., of Christ church, New Zealand, has been appointed by the Methodist Mission to the Davui levu Teachers’ Training Institution, Fiji.
Mrs. Garton, well-known as the pro prietress of the famous swimming-baths and tea-rooms at Ravuvu, near Rabaul, has disposed of her interest in New Guinea. She arrived in Australia by the “Montoro” early in May. Mrs. Gar ton’s Ravuvu establishment was very seriously damaged in the eruption a year ago.
