The New Guinea Club is func tioning again. It was opened by a dance on September 14. The three photographs above show the club building in the three separate stages of its existence. At the top —as it appeared in 1939 when it was described as the “best club in the South Pacific.” In the centre—as the Japs and Allied bombers left it in September, 1945 —virtually demolished. Lower—as it is, September, 1949—partially restored and functioning again. —1949 Photo by C. H. Meen.
