These native boys from the Sangan Primary T School made a happy hit in the march past at Lae’s big district show in October. The show was attended bv the Australian Governor-General Viscount Dunrossil. Most Markhams are extremely adept at stilt walking and these young fellows certanly were no exception According to one view held in Lae the stilts help the boys In walking through tall kunal-but thafs very doubtful because Ifs hard work nickine ’em up and putting ’em down on stilts, and that’s the way you would have to do it to get through kunai. It just happens that stilt walking is the current craze in their area-next month it may be marbles. Anyhow, Lae show was a wow, and the stilts added to the enjoyment.-PR.
