From Our Own Correspondent LAE, Aug. 18.
Guinea Air Traders, Of Lae, New
Guinea, have started a new Central Highlands air service. The service extends westwards of Mount Hagen to Wabag (between Hagen and the Dutch border). Wabag was in the news lately when it was reported that rich gold had been found there —a report not borne out by subsequent developments.
On the return trip from Wabag the air craft, an Avro Anson, will call at Mount Hagen, Garoka, Kerawagi, and Kaiapit.
The service has been put into operation to ensure a prompt mail delivery to High land residents. It will also ensure weekly freezer deliveries, and should prove a boon to Central New Guinea-ites.
