P-Ng Survey
In April, a Qantas Sandringham flying-boat was making a survey of Papua-New Guinea outports from Daru to Bougainville which are usually serviced by the Company’s Catalinas.
It will not be known until May whether this type of aircraft will be suitable for these services but Qantas is anxious to give outport residents the benefit of improved flying facilities if possible.
Outport residents, for their part,
are keen to have the Sandringhams.
It means more comfort, more pas senger space and more cargo.
Residents have been invited to inspect the Sandringhams during the survey and some have been taken for courtesy flights.
Dr. T. G. Hawley, Government Medical Officer, Western Samoa, was recently acquitted of charges of negli gent driving and driving at an ex cessive speed by Chief Judge Mar sack and a Jury of four at the Apia High Court. The charges arose out of an accident which caused the death of a 5-year-old boy on March 9.
