P-Ng To Have Own Stamps.

From Our Own Correspondent

Moresby, Mar. 5.

At long last it seems that Papua- N. Guinea is within sight of getting its own postage stamps. Orders have been placed with the Common wealth Note and Stamp printer for supplies in 15 denominations.

The designs are mostly drawings from photographs of Territory sub jects. The halfpenny stamp will show a tree-climbing kangaroo, while the £1 stamp will depict a native fisherman.

The stamps will be printed in a single colour. It is unlikely that they will be available for about three months.
