Appeal For Museum

ALTHOUGH over 2,000 items are already on display at the Papua and New Guinea Public Museum and Art Gallery, more are wanted.

An appeal was made recently by the President of the Museum, Mr.

Justice E. B. Bignold, to residents of the Territory who have suitable speciments in their possession.

Many articles of antiquity are fast disappearing, he said, and it is the aim of the Trustees to pre serve them wherever possible.

Most of the exhibits at present in the Museum have been collected by Patrol Officers.

Any person desiring to present or sell suitable specimens to the Museum should contact their nearest District Commissioner.
