Samarai-Port Moresby
Air Connection Sought by Guinea Airways
From Our Own Correspondent
Samarai, July 27.
THE proposal has again been revived for the establishment of a Guinea Airways service between Samarai and Port Moresby, to connect with both the north- and south-going planes on the Australia-New Guinea run. It would bring Samarai within the orbit of a three-days mail service from Sydney.
First broached in 1938, the suggestion was rejected, but since then, with rapidly changing conditions, and the need for a local air service to ensure regular mail deliveries, the renewed proposal has met with general approval. To outlying sta tions such as Misima, Trobriands and the north-east coast, the scheme would be a distinct advantage.
Miss Audrey Thompson, of Cairns, Queensland, has taken up duties at Wau European School, TNG, after a short period at the Rabaul school.
Mr. R. Guest, of Bulolo Gold Dredging Co. Ltd., Morobe, TNG, fell from a mining flume on which he was working and crashed 20 ft to the rocks below. He died in Bulolo Hospital on July 1, from a fractured skull. Mrs. Guest and two young children survive him.
