To Assist Women From N. Guinea and Papua

IT is proposed to create an organisa tion for the assistance, where necessary, of women residents of New Guinea and Papua, who recently have gone to reside in Australia.

Some of the women have not visited Australia for many years, and others have few friends or relations there.

Others, owing to the exigencies of the times, may be cut off temporarily from their homes or families. In these cases, an organisation should be of some value.

All women from the Territories are urged to send their names and addresses to the New Guinea Trade Agency, Commonwealth Offices, Sydney, or to the Editor, “Pacific Islands Monthly”, Union House, 247 George Street, Sydney: so that, when the organisation gets under way, it will be possible to write to them, and describe the services that will be available to them.
