Annual Meeting of Association on June 9
THE annual meeting of the Pacific Territories Association is to be held in the Teachers’ Federation Hall, seventh floor, 166 Philip Street, Sydney, at 8 p.rn. on Wednesday, June 9. All members and intending members are asked to attend, as matters of consider able importance to all residents of Papua and New Guinea will be under discus sion.
The Association was formed a year ago, to assist evacuees in dealing with the many difficult problems they have in common. It has done a great deal of useful work. At first, it was more or less ignored by Australian Ministers and officials: but, by exercising patience and tact, it became recognised as the voice of the evacuees, and the executive is now freely consulted by the Common wealth authority in matters relating to the Territories.
