Dry Spell Broken at Port Moresby

From Our Own Correspondent

Pt. Moresby, Oct. 3.

THE intolerably dry conditions in Port Moresby were relieved somewhat on September 30. After exceptionally muggy weather, a light misty rain devel oped into a fairly heavy downpour, and over 60 points were registered. This has helped to lay the dust which for months past has been a serious problem in the town.

Messrs. D. M. Fienberg and L. M.

McLaren, of the New Guinea Adminis tration, arrived in Australia recently to enlist for overseas service.

Mr. I. J. L. Wood, of the NG Depart ment of Agriculture, together with Mrs.

Wood, arrived in Australia in September on leave.
