Retires
ATERRITORIAN of long resi dence, Police Superintendent T.
W. Upson, of Port Moresby, retired from the P-NG Police Force on June 21, and he and Mrs. Upson have gone to live on the Queensland south coast.
It was expected that he would not retire until August.
Mr. Upson went to New Guinea in 1928 and in ANGAU during the war rose to the rank of Major.
Immediately after the war he was in charge of Japanese war-criminals imprisoned near Rabaul.
He holds the Queen’s Police Medal for long and valuable service.
Mr. Carl Jacobsen, Lae’s well known pioneer chicken-farmer and planter, returned to New Guinea recently after several months’ medical treatment in Australia.
When his doctor first sent him South, he contemplated a per manent retirement from the tropics.
But a few months’ experience of present-day conditions in Australia sent him home with a determina tion to spend his later years in New Guinea although not necessarily in the Markham Valley.
