p. 91 · Read in the full issue
NOW that the Port Moresby Regional Station is broadcasting on the short wave band, the Education Depart ment’s Native People’s Session has been re-organised to cater for the native lis tening public in New Guinea. In ad dition to the hour previously broadcast in Papuan languages, an extra half-hour daily is devoted to broadcasts in Pidgin.
Reports from New Guinea indicate that the new Session is popular. Even in Moresby a few former New Guinea resi dents surreptitiously refresh their pidgin —a language that has many affectionate adherents.
