THE COVER: It's Show month in Papua-New Guinea this month. The big event is at AAt. Hagen in the Western High lands, where they are putting on their first Show ever. It promises to be something special, and even the Papua-New Guinea Legislative Council, which will be sitting in Port Moresby about that time, is taking time off for it! Our cover photo was taken at another Highlands' Show earlier this year —at Goroka. That's not a new kind of animal the little girl is using as an ornament, but a plastic toy. Which probably goes to prove that all little girls like toys, whether they live in the wilds of New Guinea or the wilds of Sydney suburbia.
