Concern in Rabaul

Rabaul, May 30

RABAUL residents are alarmed at the increasing number of “Peep ing Toms” that are appearing around the town. These appear to be mostly unemployed natives who have no fixed place of abode.

The matter was discussed at the May meeting of the Town Advisory Council and members were assured

by the District Commissioner’s rep resentative that in future, the regu lation that no native is to remain unemployed in the town for longer than four days would be strictly en forced. He said that the ordinance that obliges an employer to repatriate his time-expired labour would also be enforced.

A new, modern freezer has been opened in Rabaul by J. Spyers and C. Pappas.
