WAU, May 24.
MR. D. Vertigan, who has been ADO at Wau for upwards of two years, has departed, for Australia, on leave.
Mr. A. Niall, who arrived on May 19, has taken over temporarily, pending the arrival of Mr. McMullen, who has been appointed ADO, Wau, with Mr. Niall as his assistant.
Mr. Vertigan, who has had a nerve straining job for some considerable time —being practically alone in his adminis trative position for long periods—was certainly due for a rest. He was fare welled by his colleagues prior to departure.
His presence on the committee of the Spitfire Fund will be much missed. Mrs.
Vertigan also has been an indefatigable worker in the interests of the Comforts Fund, and has helped the Red Cross Society considerably.
It is certainly a step in the right direc tion that this district is to have the services of two experienced ADO’s, for it is perhaps the busiest district in TNG.
