Food and the Professions

Rabaul, Sept. 21.

IT is not a fortnight since the “Montoro” left Rabaul but we are again out of fresh meat. Potatoes and onions are extremely scarce.

We need a much better meat supply and system of distribution. There appears to be a good opening for private enter prise in this respect.

Rabaul offers opportunities for a capable medical man (private practice), a dentist, chemist, and a legal man. The civilian population is put to considerable loss and inconvenience through lack of the services which would be provided by these people.

Mr. Ronald Moran, of the Customs De partment, Rabaul, recently was married to Miss Conroy, of the staff of Burns Philp & Co. (New Guinea) Ltd.

Mr Ray Parer arrived in Sydney from Samarai, by “Montoro” last month. After attending to business matters he will re turn to New Guinea.
