Neal Leave New Guine

Mr. And Mrs. ‘Normie’

EVERY section of the Morol community of New Guinea wr represented at a gathering Wau at the end <pf September, whe farewell was said to Mr. & Mi.

Norman Neal, who have decided make their permanent residence Australia.

With the exception of the m years, they have lived in the Gold fields district of New Guinea ew since the goldfield was establish© and they have taken a promines part in all developmental and soci; activities. They always have bes held in high esteem.

Mr Neal was a successful golf miner in the 30’s. He also gave go<c service to the Territory as a Men ber of the Legislative Council. Lit all his contemporaries, he served World War 11, and with the ran of Major.

After the war, Mr. and Mrs. N© re-established their residence the hill-top in the Bulolo Valhi near Wau. But a couple of ye©; ago, he obtained a valuable tribu from New Guinea Goldfields as they moved up to Edie Creek as resided there while the tribute w w worked. The tribute has shore signs of “petering out” in reca; months, and the couple decided tm the time had come for them settle in a more civilised climei probably Sydney.

They will be sadly missed in tbl part of New Guinea—and, compart with Morobe, they may not ftfl Sydney so civilised!
