The Swansdown Seats
During the month, all public bodies in the Territory, from the gislative Council (see elsewhere) to the TAC’s, have been taking the untry to pieces and reassembling it, verbally, nearer to the desirable. »art from relieving the Territorians’ internal pressure, however, this blic airing of (usually) quite legitimate grievances, has (as usual) Kluced no discernible results.

Mr. Theckston is 58.
Air-Minded Natives—Even
When Dead
Natives of Wain, a village outside Lae, New Guinea, recently chartered a plane from Crowley Airways to take the body of one of their villagers, who was killed in an accident on May 17, back home.
The dead man, Guiato, who was a messenger for the Treasury Depart ment, Lae, was riding an Adminis tration bicycle down the steep part
of Huon road when the machine got out of control. At the intersection he tried to turn the corner, but ran wide and struck a 3-ton truck travelling in the opposite direction.
Guiato sustained head injuries and died later in hospital.
Vunamami Gets The Chair
An award with a cash value of £5O is made each year by the Com monwealth Bank of Australia for the most progressive Native Council in Papua-New Guinea.
The Bank’s interest in the work of the Councils and the develop
ment of the Territory generally prompted the award.
The award for 1956 goes to the Vunamami (New Britain) Native Council; the award will be a pre sidential chair for the Council Chambers to be used by the Pre sident in his official capacity. In design, the chair will resemble the Speakers’ chairs used in British Parliaments.
The award is made on the basis of points allocated for the extent to which the estimated programme for the year has been carried out: proficiency of Councillors and staff: promotion of community participa tion in the Council’s activities: pro gress in health and education; economic development planning; promotion of social welfare measures, and co-operation with the Administration in the provision of essential services.
A report by the Native Local Gov ernment Executive Officer, Mr. H.
Plant, on the record of the Vunamami Council during the past year stated that hard work and good executive ability was evident in carrying out the 1956 programme.
The President, Tovin, was outstand ing, and all Councillors and mem bers of the staff had played a full part in the year’s activities. Ex tensions had been made to the Council School at Ngnalaka; economic progress in the area in
eluded the continued successful operation of cocoa fermentaries and a rice huller, and Council influence had helped to promote new cocoa plantings in the area.
At Lae, on May 17, the DC Commissioner, Mr. H. L. R. presented badges of office t Councillors of the Lei-Labu I Local Government Council, s

And uld they understand?” Father er said.
After discussion it was proposed by Mr. Downs, seconded by Father Schaefer and carried: “That the possibility of including native rep resentatives on the District Advisory Council be investigated by the Dis trict Commissioner, and that a panel of names from each sub-district be submitted by relevant ADO’S for the next Council Meeting, so that one representative from Chimbu, Goroka and Kainantu may be nominated.”
Mr. Mcadam Asked To Rsvp
This same meeting discussed the desirability of posting a Forestry Officer to the Highlands: and the promised visit of the Director of Forests.
Mr. Downs reminded the meeting that the Director of Forests (Mr, Me Adam), has made promises to four different District Commission ers, dating back to the immediate post-war period, that he intended visiting the Highlands.
Mr. Downs said he would like to move that a letter be written to the Administrator drawing his attention to the fact that the Director of Forests had not visited the High lands for 12 years. He pointed out that the Director had visited Singa pore, Ceylon, and many other places in this period and that it should be possible during 1957 for him to make a visit to the Highlands area.

CHINESE DAUGHTERS OF OUR LADY OF THE SACRED HEART, ALL FROM RABAUL: They are from left to right, Sr. M. Lucienne, Catherine Seeto Kit Ching, daughter of the late Mr. Seeto Ngar Man and of Mrs. Seeto Yee Po; Sr. M. Rosita, Catherine Chan Foong Chin, and Sr. Mary Theresa Chan Foong Hin, both daughters of Mr. John Achai and the late Mrs. Rose Chan, Sr. M Patrick, Theresa Chue Beck Wan, and Sr. M.

The distinction of being the first Chinese girl to return to Rabaul as a religious, to teach in her former school and work amongst her own race of people goes to Sr. M. Rosita. The honour, however, to be the first Rabaul girl to enter religion belongs to Sr. M. Rosita's own sister, Elizabeth. Elizabeth Chan Yit Kui, the eldest of Mr. Achai's 14 children, went to China in 1927. After her schooling she remained there to join the Congregation of the Sisters, Helpers of the Holy Souls, in Shanghai.
About three years ago all the European members of this Congregation were expelled by the Communists. For a while after this, meagre information could be had about the Chinese members still left in Shanghai. However, for the last 18 months all communication of these sisters with their relatives or friends has ceased. At present there is no means of ascertaining if Mother M. Elizabeth is still alive or not.
For some years already Father Gabriel Chan Tin Cheong, SJ, Mother Elizabeth's brother has been imprisoned by the Communists. It is not known whether he is still alive, either.

Policeman Rewarded
The native constable who re captured Ame Aite, the third es capee from Bomana prison (PIM, May, p. 141), will be given an open commercial order worth £ll/5/-, in recognition of his services.
Police regulations prohibit the payment of money to members of the Force, but as the donors wish some portion of the fund to be paid
to the constable, this is being done by means of an open commercial order.
The remaining £2O of the public fund is to be shared equally be tween the Amenities Accounts of the RPNGC Police Depot at Kila, and that of the Pacific Islands Regiment.
Referring to the action of the European and native residents of Moresby, who subscribed the public reward money, the Assistant Ad ministrator, Dr. J. T, Gunther, ex pressed the thanks of the Adminis tration for this public-spirited gesture, and said it reflected the donors’ keen and practical interest

Our Police And Fire
IDE service at boroko ombined Police and Fire i was opened at Boroko, in rt Moresby area, on May 15. ew station is located in a g erected as a permanent ation near the Boroko Hotel.
This will provide a 24-hour police and fire service for the district, with telephone number 5139, and a European officer in charge.
The Commissioner of Police and Fire Brigade Superintendent, Mr.
C. Normoyle, said that this exten sion of police and fire services is being made despite heavy calls on available staff, but the requirements of the Boroko area have been met
because of the rapid growth of this residential zone.
Later on it is planned to add an other eight buildings in the form of a square, at a cost of about £40,000.
They will include a mess for police men and firemen, with a common kitchen, separate barracks, ablution blocks, married quarters and a gaol.
Joseph's Hall (above) was officially opened on May 11 at Boroko, a very up-and-coming oresby suburb. This Catholic hall will be used for church services, but will also be e to any denomination or society for hire.

Following a new policy, the fire station and police station would, m the future, be separate organisa tions and when the new project is completed the two units would work entirely independently of each other.

Mothers Surmount All
Eagles For Fancy Dress
Ball
paring junior for a Fancy Ball is a headache to mothers where, but more so in the
Territory. After the preliminary brain-washing for a character, comes the search for materials, and ideas have often to be changed to conform with supply.
We dips our lids to the ingenuity and enterprise of Lae mothers who presented their offspring at the third annual Fancy Dress Ball organised for the Lae Pre-school Centre at Stewart Hall on May 14.
The judges had a very difficult task to choose “firsts” from an assembly of characters who could have stepped out of a Walt Disney fantasy.
Awards were:— 3-years and under: —Best girl, Pamela Devonish, “Queen of Hearts”; best boy, John Howes, “Grenadier Guardsman”.

A series of earth tremors and a number of landslides were felt in the vicinity of Oiau Crater in August, 1955. At that time evacua tion plans were prepared so these would be ready should activity be come dangerous, then or later.

Goroka Still Pays 9D Per
Pound On Parcels
Goroka residents have got no satisfaction from the P-NG Direc tor of Posts and Telegraphs over the surcharge of 9d per pound on parcels posted to the Highlands (PIM, April, p. 55). They have had some hard things to say about the whole set-up.
All mail, including parcels, has to be flown in to the Highlands from the coast —there is just no other way of getting it there, yet. Goroka seems to have been singled out for preferential treatment in this instance, partly, in the beginning, because the Director of P&T be lieved that some commercial houses were taking advantage of parcels post to have parcels air-freighted cheaply. However, the ill far out weighs the good in this instance — everyone has to pay the impost, at twice the cost of ordinary air freight rates, and at the receiving end.
At a public meeting recently Mr. lan Downs said that the Adminis tration presides over the most ex pensive mail service in the world— and probably one of the worst postal services “for the money” in the world. “In a developing territory such as this,” he said, “one would think that mail could be one of
the things on which the Adminis tration would be glad to sustain a small loss. ... I personally think that the whole system is iniquitous, stupid and quite unnecessary,”

It might also remove that nasty taste in the mouth left by the epic “Walk into Paradise ”.
New Guinea Aero Club
Puts On Show
Following the purchase of their first plane, a Tiger Moth, at the be ginning of April, members of New Guinea Aero Club, Lae, have logged 108 flying hours.
In the same period three private pilots have renewed their licences;
an ex-RAF pilot, John Green, has been re-issued with his commercial licence: and there are seven new hands in training and a further four partly-trained students flying regularly. Finally, a friendly ex enemy, Karl Brinckmann, a former Luftwaffe fighter-pilot, who is now a ground engineer with Qantas, is hard at work obtaining his com mercial licence.
Not bad for two months’ opera tions.
To celebrate their achievements and the official opening of the Club, members and pilots from local air way companies staged Lae’s first aero pageant and ground display on May 19.
