Has Been Spent
THE entire £21,300 of the Mt.
Lamington Relief Fund has now been spent. The money was collected following the disastrous eruption in Papua in 1951 in which 3,000 people were killed.
The last of the fund was used recently to buy 2,600 sheets of corrugated iron, and some nails, for rebuilding the Isivita Village.
All but two villages in the deva stated area have now been rebuilt and resettled.
However, as a safety measure, a six mile belt around Mt. Laming ton will be left forever desolate and unpopulated.
