Experiment
THE Dutch New Guinea Adminis tration is opening up an area south of Lake Sentani inland from Hollandia. The area, known as the Nimboran Plains, will be used for agricultural purposes (specific details not available) in which the 2,500 native inhabitants of the area will take part. A road is being con structed from the lake to the Plains.
Produce will be brought to the lake by this road, across the lake by launch, then by road to Hollandia.
A. co-operative store has already been started for the people of the Plains irea.
The Rev. A. R. Tippett, Metho list Mission, Fiji, was on deputation work in Tasmania in November.
The main east coast road, New Ireland, has been re-made and now reaches from Kavieng to Lakuramau Plantation; Works and Housing per sonnel are optimistic that the pro ject will eventually be pushed through to Namatanai.
