to be Beautiful

To give the hair a glow of new beauty the home stylists re sponsible for these simple casual styles, shampooed their hair with a glow giving type of shampoo.

This gave the hair deep glowing tones as if looking into the depths of amber. The hair was silkily soft yet more manageable display ing the highlights in their full brilliance. Note how Karin used “Creamed” “Peek-in” Glow for her fine soft hair whilst Wendy used “Clear” for her normal hair.

To give her hair that glow of loveliness, and reveal the beauty of the highlights Karin sham pooed her hair with “Creamed”

“Peek-In” Glow shampoo. Then to retain this beauty and enhance the highlights, Delphset Hair Spray was used to keep the softly natural waves in position.

Nothing Starry-Eyed

At a meeting of the Kokopo Town Advisory Council in July, mission leader Mr. K. R. Iverson came out with a statement that proved mem bers had not picked up any starry eyed ideas of a great industrial future for the Territory.

“You’ll go nowhere without im proving your agricultural economy,” he said. “You can have secondary industries only if the people have purchasing power, and purchasing power can come only from a better balanced and more efficient agricul tural economy.”

The members, in private conversa tions along their route, have indicated that they are inclined to think Aus tralia’s expenditure on social services praiseworthy, but economically fool hardy.

They have left clear impressions behind that they would like to see health and welfare budgets trimmed, and works programmes give priority to schemes that will directly en courage economic development. They are likely to propose schemes such as a canning industry for Rabaul, combining Japanese tuna-fishing skill with Tolai canning labour, as a means of attracting foreign capital, and pro viding local employment.

Employment Need

Less spectacularly, there will prob ably also be heavy emphasis on the need to capitalise on every crumb of an idea to boost employment and help swell export earnings.

Other economists have indicated that without fortuitous discovery of oil or other mineral deposits, the best hope for economic advancement of the Territory lies in marshalling the vast labour reserves of the country for planned agricultural development.

With inter-tribal strife virtually a thing of the past, and with even the modest increase in efficiency in sub sistence farming that has come from the use of implements like spades and bush knives, a reservoir of “labour hours” has been created that is waiting to be tapped.

One of the main jobs of the World Bank mission will be to find the means, through incentives, to divert this labour potential to profitable production.

The saving grace for the economy of Papua-New Guinea may well prove to be the highly-developed subsistence life of the vast bulk of the popula tion. From this basis of stability, economic growth and even viability may spring.
