THE marriage took place recently at Saroa, in the Rigo district, Papua, of Mr. Colin Batchelor and Miss Sylvia Jarrett. They were married by the Rev. Susie Rankin in the Saroa Church.
Natives sat on the floor and sang before the ceremony.
Wearing garlands of flowers round their necks, the bridal couple walked from the church to the house, where the reception was held. The natives formed a guard of honour and showered them with flowers and leaves.
Mr. Batchelor is manager of Kokebagu Estate, not far from Saroa.
