Addresses Wanted

rE editor of the “PIM,” from time to time, receives requests for informa tion concerning the whereabouts of people who were driven from their homes in the Territories by the Japanese in vasion, and whose relations have lost contact with them. Such inquiries are usually answered privately; but, in two recent cases, we have not been able to secure any information.

Therefore, would any reader of the “PIM” who knows anything of the present whereabouts of the people named here under, please communicate with the editor, “Pacific Islands Monthly,” PO Box 3408, Sydney, or write direct to the person making the inquiry, whose name is given below;— GEORGE CHESTER, formerly a resi dent of New Guinea. The inquiry is made on behalf of his brother, Mr. Jack C.

Chester, who was at one time in partner ship with him in New Guinea, but now lives in England. Jack Chester is in poor health —the result of long exposure fol lowing torpedoing while he was in the Merchant Navy. (Inquiry made by George S. Chester, 47 Hudson Street, Hamilton, Newcastle, NSW.) MRS. G. H. MASSY-BAKER—she lived with her husband at Petoi, Kerema, in the Gulf Division of Papua. Soon after the outbreak of World War 11, her hus band died and it is believed that she went to live in Australia. Since that time her relations in America have had no word of her. Inquiries made in Syd ney by the “PIM” failed to produce her address. Anyone knowing anything of her whereabouts is asked to communicate with the editor of the “PIM,” or with Mrs. Massy-Baker’s niece—Mrs. S. Long more, 221 Clarke Avenue, Westmount.

P.Q., Canada (formerly Miss Helen Baker).
