DR. MARIE JANOUSEK, formerly a child health specialist in Czecho slovakia, has been appointed by the Papua-New Guinea Administration to its medical service. She has gone to Port Moresby where she will open a baby health clinic and teach natives hygiene and nursing.

Dr. Janousek and her husband, a lawyer, are refugees from Communism and went to Australia two years ago as migrants.

Neither could practise professionally in Australia and Mr. Janousek has a job in a Sydney sporting goods factory.

He will remain there but hopes later to be able to qualify in Law at an Aus tralian university.
