Our Cover

It's a slow process in some parts of New Guinea —this matter of moving from stone to steel. The Biami people of Western Papua still use stone and are still can nibals —some of them. Neville Moderate, of the P-NG Information Department, captured this warrior with his stone club in silhouette, and on pp. 82-83 his camera depicts more of the life of these

primitive people.
