MORESBY, April 30.
THE Port Moresby swimming pool appeal committee in April started an all-out drive to raise £5,000.
Headed by energetic Mr. Tom Flower, the committee is now run ning a weekly 10/- sweep on the main Australian race each Saturday and this is meeting with marked success.
So far, not less than £50 has been added to the fund each week from this source.
As soon as the fund reached £2,000 a start was made on the pool which is to be situated on Ela Beach at the foot of Lawes Road.
Veteran of the Morobe Goldfields, NG, Mr. O. P. Blanden, Mining Warden, departed in early April for three months leave with his family in Australia. Mr. Arthur Fry, Mines Inspector, who recently returned from six months leave, will relieve Mr.
Blanden.
