Winter Walkabout
Is On Again
More MP's To Visit Papua-New Guinea
WIVES of District Commissioners in the remoter districts of Papua and New Guinea, having successfully weathered the visit of the recent UN Visiting Mission, would do well to get busy with the grocery orders again.
This winter Parliamentary recess no less than three delegations, each of six Members from Government and Opposition, will visit the Terri tory.
Minister Hasluck announced this recently.

density, milk-run air-services.
On the credit side, of course, they will observe that New Guinea should be able to supply all Australia’s re quirements in cocoa, rubber, coffee, etc.
