Father Moore
Back on Bougainville, NG, after six months’ home leave in the US, is Father Jim Moore, SM, who for the past 20 years has been at Morotona, which he cut from the jungle nine miles in land. Thanks to Father Moore’s drive it is now one of the best equipped mission stations on Bougainville.
It will soon be even better, for Father Moore raised sufficient funds in the States to buy a seven-ton truck and a four-seater Cessna aircraft.
While home the 50-year-old priest reckoned he was still young enough to follow a flying course and after 30 hours’ solo, he ob tained his pilofs licence. The aircraft will arrive on Bougain ville the slow way, as deck cargo.
