Madang, New Guinea, held its third annual Show on June 4 and 5; a dance and presenta tion of trophies on the night of the 4th for the European community and a sing-sing at the showground for the natives. A barbeque supper was served at the European dance.

All sections of the community were en thusiastic entrants in Show exhibits and ring events. Native Group exhibits with their carvings, handicrafts and basketry, as well as produce such as rice, vegetables and fruit were, as usual, some of the most attractive.

This year's winner was Pau Village, the Luluai
