THE COVER: Papua-New Guinea's famous Department of Native Affairs—the depart ment which directs patrol officers—has been under administrative attack lately.

There are some who say it has done its job and it should be absorbed into other agencies of Government. Its supporters, fortunately, are just as vocal. Meanwhile the work of the patrols still goes on.
