Quenching The

P-Ng Thirst

IT is understood that a brewery is being planned for Lae, New Guinea.

Mr. R. Meier, the brewer at the South Pacific Brewery, Port Moresby, since its establishment, was in Lae with a colleague examining a site in Milford Haven Road in Janu uary. Both have resigned from the Port Moresby Brewery.

Mr. R. Bunting, MLC, will prob ably be managing director of the new Lae enterprise. Mrs. F. S.

Stewart, of the Hotel Cecil, is also interested.

Mr. Meier achieved the apparently impossible when he made beer out of the Laloki River, which gives Moersby its water supply, so there appears to be no reason why he should not perform the same miracle with the waters of the Markham.
