IN Melbourne in March, Mr. P, J. Cody, a director of Loloma and Emperor Mines, Fiji, and of Austral Wine and Spirit Agency, announced that the firm that had been known as Telluride Invest ments Pty., Ltd., and had been associated with Fijian gold interests, had changed its name to Barrett Brothers Cordials Pty., Ltd., and would manufacture aerated waters in Melbourne.
This sudden switch from gold to pop was accomplished without any changes being made in the original articles of association drawn up in 1936 for Tel luride Investments. This, it is stated, is due to “widely drawn clauses.”
Lieut. John W. Cox, MM, veteran of both World Wars, is now back in his old job as a roadmaster in the service of the New Guinea Administration. He has been given one of the toughest assignments in the Territory the 16 miles of highway between Wau and Bulolo, which includes the ever-shifting Bulolo Gorge. A recent visitor said that no section of the new road, between Bulolo and Labu (mouth of the Mark ham), was as treacherous and difficult as the Bulolo Gorge section.
