A Planter’S Tribute
p. 98 · Read in the full issue
DURING the whole of the Ed-Wardian regime, this district never saw a medical patrol; so it was pleasing to note that the change in Government altered matters in this regard (.writes an old New Guinea planter).
Recently, European Medical Assistant Selby arrived in the Bainings. Quietly, efficiently and conscientiously he worked from one end of the District to the other, plantations and villages being taken in their order. His quiet courtesy, help fulness, thorough examinations and strict adherence to time-table impressed the whole district, and certainly added to the prestige of the Public Health Dept., be sides improving the health of all. May the PHD find more like Selby to widen its outside patrols.
