NATIVES of Beliau and the surround ing districts recently joined in a welcome home sing-sing to their leader “Yarly” from Port Moresby. He delivered a speech to the natives from instructions he had received in Port Moresby. Madang’s DO, Mr. J. K.
McCarthy, addressed the natives on the importance of good work. In the after noon the natives performed their tradi tional dances and songs in the village which sported about five miles of fringed coconut leaves. Many white people came to view the decorations and per formance. The village is on the site of the old Angau Headquarters and the natives have retained many of the gardens established in war years.
