Mobile Clinics

Letter to the Editor IT has been suggested to my Com mittee that probably there are in Australia and other parts outside of the Territory, many re sidents, former residents and friends of the Territory, who would wish to subscribe to the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Trust Fund for Mothers and Children of Papua and New Guinea; and we shall be gratfeul if you can give this letter publicity.

The fund in this Territory, as in Australia, is to give everyone an opportunity of contributing to a memorial to mark the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11, and already all sections of the Ter ritory’s population have responded.

After careful consideration, the Administration, with the approval

of the Commonwealth, decided that the fund so raised should be ex pended on the purchase of mobile clinics for the assistance of mothers and children, so organised as to reach as many of the population as is possible.

Should any of your readers de sire to subscribe to this fund, re mittances should be forwarded to the Hon. Treasurer of Coronation Trust Fund, c/o Commonwealth Bank, Port Moresby. An official acknowledgment will be sent for each donation received.

I am, etc.,

E. A. James,

Chairman of Central Committee.

If Mr. Eric Flemingham and his wife (formerly Carmen Meyer, of Brisbane) have returned to Queens land from New Guinea, where they have been living since their marriage two years ago.
