Unique Pygmies
Reverend Anthropologist for New Guinea
r:E Rev. Dr. Martin Gusinde, 70, Professor of Anthropology at Washington’s Catholic Uni versity, will make a four-month study of a “unique” group of pygmies in North-East New Guinea, accord ing to a report from Washington in May.
The reporter said that “no white man has ever before set foot in the region;” that Dr. Gusinde, “an ticipated meeting bands of head hunters,” but would “try to gain the savages’ confidence and avoid trouble.”
There was nothing to indicate whereabouts in Northeast New Guinea Dr. Gusinde expects to meet his “unique” pygmies and bands of headhunters. We were under the impression that the feet of white man had covered Northeast New Guinea pretty thoroughly in the last 20 years. * Miss E. A. L. Brown, MA, of the Tonga Hifh School staff, returned to New Zealand in May. She an nounced her engagement to Mr. B.
Lodes, of the UK, last January.
