Old Newspapers, Razor

Blades Wanted

FRANCISCAN Fathers at Aitape, New Guinea, are making an appeal for old newspapers and razor blades.

Natives use the papers, when cut into strips, to roll cigarettes.

With the razor blades they do not cut their beards, but carve fine tropical woods. One of their best wood carvings, of the Madonna, has been sent for exhibition to Canberra.

Papers and blades may be sent to the “Catholic Leader,” Brisbane.

technical education expert in the British Colonial Office.
