IMPORTANT patrols are still going on in remoter areas of Papua-New Guinea.
Recently, in the Kainantu sub district, Eastern Highlands, an extensive patrol to the Lamari river was concluded by ADO H, W. West and Patrol Officer John Colman.
This patrol took over eight weeks, and was through uncontrolled areas. Two main tributaries of the Lamari and Vialala rivers were discovered. The people who live in this area had never previously been contacted.
The N-NG Patrol Officer at Kiunga, Mr. Jack Baker, in October ended a 71-day patrol into the rugged Awin area of the Western District (Papua).
The area he patrolled lies to the north of Kiunga, which itself is only a few miles from the Dutch border and about 500 miles up the Fly River. t Dudley Church, Suva, the central church of the Indian Methodist Church in Fiji, celebrated its 21st anniversary on November 6. The church is named after Miss Hannah Dudley, who was appointed 58 years ago to work among the Indians in Fiji.
