Is This Palm

This forked coconut palm is on Medina Plan tation, about 50 miles from Kavieng on the side of the

Kavieng-Namatanai Road.

Assistant District Officer John Hayes was driving me down to the coast to a sing-sing at Kama village, to celebrate the opening of a new Methodist church, when he told me about it.

He stopped his Land-Rover long enough for me to take this photograph. Can any other plantation boast a forked palm like this

One? Lew Friday
