"Bomb Happy"

PASTOR A. J. CAMPBELL, now back at his missionary work in New Guinea, writes: Someone wants to know what Pidgin might be for “bomb happy.” “Please” is the word generally used for “happy” or “glad,” though the latter word is often used in Pidgin. It could be expressed this way, I think, and the Pidgin be quite in order; “Please along bomb”; or “Glad along bomb.”

Major E. G. A. Lett, son of Mr. Lewis Lett, of Port Moresby, who was taken prisoner after distinguished service with an English regiment in the Middle East, has not been heard of since the Germans, last year, took over the prison camp in Italy in which he was held.

Mr. C. W. Kirke, now doing a job for the Americans in New Guinea, reports that near him are men from the Bulolo Valley—“ Bill Cash, Ernest Bowden, Clarrie Momsen, McLean, of BGD., and many others.”

The Revs, Susie Rankin and Alan Bot toms. of the London Missionary Society, have returned to their mission stations in Papua.
