Correction W. G. Mitchell Very Much Alive
In June PIM, page 157, a staff correspondent put Mr. W. G.
Mitchell into a group of Burns Philp and Co. Managers who have now departed this life.
This—naturally—was startling for Mr. Mitchell and his wife, and Mr. Mitchell writes to say that he hopes “none of our re lations and friends, children, grandchildren or great-grand children” read the PIM.
We apologise, and take this opportunity of restoring Mr.
Mitchell to the land of the liv ing.
Mr. Mitchell was in charge of all Burns Philp and Co. in terests in the then extremely important Morobe District of New Guinea from 1927 until war put an end to civilian life there in February, 1942. He is still with the old firm—but now with the South Sea Company —at Norfolk Island.
