Anniversary Holiday
PAPUA and New Guinea will both have a holiday on September 15, this year, although each Territory will be cele brating a different occasion.
New Guinea will be celebrating the an niversary of the capture of the Territory from the Germans on September 12, 1914.
Papua, on the other hand, will be com memorating the 4th day of September, which is the anniversary of the founda tion of the “Possession of British New Guinea.”
The holiday has been fixed for Sep tember 15, for the sake of convenience and residents will thus have a long week end, whichever occasion they celebrate.
