Papua
Percy Chatterton’s Papua: Day That I Have Loved, is to be published shortly by Pacific Publications, in Sydney.

It is a colourful, and charming, account of the Papuan people, giving warm in sight into their hopes, fears and changing way of life.
Some Papuan leaders say they don't want Papua to be sub merged by New Guinea in the move towards independence, and readers of Percy Chatter ton's timely book will readily sympa thise with their desire to retain their identity. The book is illus trated with evocative pen sketches by Percy Chatterton’s longtime friend and neighbour in Port Moresby, Rev Bert Brown. The price is $5.25.
