Prom Our Own Correspondent LAE, June 20.

AT the last monthly meeting of the local sub-branch of the RSL, Lae, the meritorious services of two of Lae’s leading lights, in fostering the in terests of ex-servicemen, were recognised

bv the presentation of Life Memberships to Charlie Beckett and Jim Peterson.

The former is the well-known “Sparks” of OTC and the latter, until recently, was the genial manager of BP’s here.

His recent departure to take over the reins of the Head Office at Port Moresby meant the loss, to Lae, and the RSL in particular, of a good citizen and a true Digger.
