New X-Ray Installation
ACTING for the Marist Catholic Mission in Bougainville District of New Guinea, Mr. Leo Parer (of Parer Pty. Ltd. and Stanford X-Ray Co.) during July and August, installed a first-class radiological (X-Ray) department at the Tea rouki Mission Hospital, on the northeast coast of Bougainville. It now is in charge of Sister Leo, a highly qualified American with medical degrees, and it will give medical service to Bougainville generally, and especially to the 28 Catholic Missions in the adminis trative District. Hitherto, there has been no serviceable X-Ray plant nearer than Rabaul.
new installation is somewhat handicappedbecause it has no radio, to allow Sister Leo to discuss pro to X " Ra y examina tions with other medical stations in the District. Anyone got a surplus radio set to assist the good work of the Missions?
British Solomon Islands Protec torate i now has regulations under which town planning and National Parks can be set up. It is known that the High Commissioner Sir Robert Stanley, is particularly in terested in National Parks and a year ago was contemplating some thing of the sort for the mountain regions of Guadalcanal. He believed also, that an imported African type of deer would do well in that region
