From TNG to UNO

Mr. R. K. Walls, who has many riends in New Guinea —he will be r ell remembered from AIB days— as commenced practice as a soli itor in the Australian border-town f Albury; and old Territorians, uotoring through, like to call on im and test his boast that Albury’s excellent hotels carry the ight type of liquid refreshment.”

A few months ago, Mr. Walls was laking a tourist’s inspection of the lagnificent United Nations build ig in New York, when he came pon an old friend in an official ustralian-United Nations repre mtative, Lieut-Colonel Townsend, etter known to pre-war Terri - >rians as a popular public officer i New Guinea. Walls had been list ning to a fine performance in ituperation by the Russian dele te; but friends told him that they new of a much better ’ole than lat, and so he found himself one I a very happy party at the flat r Colonel and Mrs. Townsend, who appened to be celebrating their

Iver wedding.

The Townsends are held in high ;gard in a happy official circle in ew York; but, says RKW, their iquiries after mutual friends indi ited that some of their heart re tains still in New Guinea.
