p. 24 · Read in the full issue
From a Private Letter CYRIL and Bernard Parer were in Lae in mid-October, on their way to Port Moresby. Other Territories men there were Jack Sedgers (just back from Madang), Jim Leahy (expecting to be on his way south for demobilisation soon), Otto Rossiter, Ned Rowlands, Ned Shields, Bill Mayo, Bob Franklin, and John Murphy.
Peter Swanson is in charge of native labour at Lae, and Jack Sutherland at headquarters (on the hill behind the old ’drome).
There now are roads everywhere around Lae—and military police are on point duty in places, directing the traffic!
ANGAU men. with 1,000 native labourers, recently rushed through a light traffic road, from the north-east coast to Kokoda—and got it completed before the native labour “blackout” on October 15. To celebrate a splendid per formance, Captain Kienzle and Captain Claude Champion put on a special party for the ANGAU men.
