Three Men of New guinea

The three men responsible for the administration of Papua-New Guinea since World War II came together in Port Moresby in June, and this historic photograph is the result. Before the war Papua and New Guinea had separate administrators but there was administrative union at the end of the war and the first Administrator of the combined territories was Colonel J. K. Murray (left), who was in authority from June, 1946 to June, 1952. He handed over to Brigadier (now Sir Donald) Cleland (right), who was Administrator until December, 1966, when the present Administrator, Mr. David Hay (centre) was appointed. The photograph was taken by Tony Reid, of the P-NG Department of Information, at a reception at Government House for members of the new P-NG House of Assembly.

A page of contrasts. In the top picture, the Governor of Fiji, Sir Derek Jakeway, dressed in plumed hat, inspects a guard of honour during the Queen's Birthday celebrations in Suva. In the picture below the Governor-General of Aus tralia, Lord Casey, dressed a little less colour fully in a top hat and tails, inspects a guard of honour at the opening of P-NG's House of Assembly, and, at right, serious faces in the House reflect the interest in the opening. To the left in this picture is Speaker John Guise in feathers and bow-tie; to the right is Mr. Barnes, Minister for External Territories. Standing behind Lord Casey is Sir Murray Tyrrell, his secretary.

The girls? Two contestants in P-NG's Miss Ter ritory—Miss Charity Quest. Top, Judith Great head, of Goroka; below, Margaret Huxley, of Madang. Miss Greathead won the Miss Territory crown.
