More Meat For Port
Prom Our Own Correspondent
Pt. Moresby, Oct. 3.
MEAT shortages look like disappear ing into the past, now that the barge freezer owned by Anderson’s Island Industries has started business.
According to Mr. A. W. Anderson, there will be no more meat shortages “unless the Bulolo sinks.”
Residents were disappointed to find that competition had not brought a re duction in prices—but the luxury of being able to choose between two freezers amply compensated for this.
Also, there is the advantage of being able to buy meat at any time between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. from Monday to Satur day. These are Anderson’s business hours.
As expected, the Port Moresby Freez ing Company increased its trading hours, but it still opens only between 7 a.m. and 11.30 a.m., and from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., with no afternoon service on Saturdays.
Mr. Anderson plans to build a freezer in town soon and he is thinking of grow ing vegetables locally. The possibility of starting a poultry farm also interests him. His view is that we should import nothing that can be produced locally.
