UN Children’s Appeal Has Good Response in NG

Port Moresby, Oct. 3.

THE Papua-New Guinea campaign to raise funds for the United Nations’

Children’s Appeal is well under way.

Progress figures show that already over half of the Territory’s £lO,OOO target has been subscribed.

The outstanding feature of the cam paign, to date, has been the response from Wewak, Sepik District, where one of New Guinea’s smaller communities has raised £2,200 —more than any other town in the Territory. Port Moresby has so far raised £1,760. (See elsewhere this issue). The response has also been good from most of the smaller District Stations.

There has been a poor response from some other areas, however.
