The Director, Department of District Administ.J.·a tion, kooegobu.

Subject: Mgresby Patrol l uf 1967/68.

Attached ple~se find the following documents relciting to tJ-e above patrol conducted by M.L·. J."'dams, Patrol Off·l~er, to the Mt . Koiari Ce.1sus Division

(i) ( i:t)

Putrol Keport Photostat copy of A.u.c.•s con~cnts 67-2-6 of 25th October, 1967.

There was a delay of l) Ver tvJo months in the processing and forwarding of thi$ report. This is not tie fault of the patrolling officer or tLe officer acting as As istant Districi. Commissioner at the tiDe the re)ort was forwarded. The pemanent Aasist'-3nt Uistrict Corn1 issio.1er will b asked for an explanativn.

2. Cor:-11T1ents in addi tL:rn to chose made by the Assistant District Coramissioncr are •s follows:

(1) Villa91 Cqostable 1)lgwances (Pu r a.14). Currently Village Constables receive i6.00 iJer annum. A separate submission recommending an increase in allowdnces is Je ing prepared.

(11) LqcalGpv1rrup1nt. The Soyeri Valley area forms part of the present Port Muresby Locul Government Council. Ita t.ransfe1~ to a new Council en'.bracing all the l<oiari spe~king people, I presume would be lependant upon f avcurable approval not only of the p ople involved but also of the Port Moresby Council. AnI actiun along theae lines can be held in abeyance until f rm pro ..... osals are made in respect of the new Cvuncil.

3. Mr.Ada. is is to be commended for a thorough patrol on which he has written an interesting and compre h nsive report.

1. Th• Mt. Koiari Census Division ia saadwiched betweea the Owen Staale7 Rang•• aad Kokoda Sub-District to the north aad the Scgeri portioa of tbe Pt. More•-1 N.L.G.C. to the south.

2. Like Sogeri, the Mt. Koiar~ is extremel7 fertile &lid with it• higa mouataia peaka, me.a1 around 4,ooo feet, i• capable of producing jurope .. vegotaltle• •uch aa do the New Guiaea Highlaads. D.A.S.F. ha•• introduced receatl1 some of these •egetables, aad, lesa receatl7, coffee. Marketing of iadigenou• crops is difficult becauee of the mountainoua terrai• and moat of the eooaom1 i~ baaed ~n mon•y earned from skor~-tera labour ia Port Morealt7.

3. The area haa ~een full7 uad•rcontrol for maa1 7ears; the people still reaealter lorl• War 2c:i.earl7, Eultpeaa clothingf aad other chattel• of a modest aature are ••er7where e•ideat, but tke people showed no ••ideace of political knowledge or of understanding of the Adaiaistration's ai•• aad ackineaeata.

4. As a eoamon language ia shared, consi•ting of 5e••• main di•lecta, it is not Yer1 aurpriaiag to find the pe~ple sociall7 well-inte•grated.

5. light• oa the high Tillage site~ are extreaely chill7. '?he poor raiatall .. eh of Papua experienced oTer the preTious 2 year• waa alao felt here.

RECEPTIOI or PATROL

6. Geaeralli, the people were Ter7 friendl7. After the patrol'• gear kad -•ea aet up, aoat of the menfolk and Tar1iag auabere of the •o•eafolk waited ••lli-expec·tantl1 for 1'hate•er waa c..:>ai:lg.

Fortuaatel1 again, this attitude waa aeldo• ahown.

VILLACJIS

7~ Geaerall7, the standard of housing i• good, but there ia Rome dou-t aa to eiutabilit7. Baaicall3 1 housing i• of 2 t7pea:-

VILLAGE OFFICIALS

13. lith few exception•, these were courteous and aelpf~l. Efficieac7 aad in•ere•t were not aeen to be at a ~eak. Some officials o9Yioual7 aaY• little or no coatrol -ut replac•••nta of a higaer cali•re are not ea8il1 touad.

25. Elologo, Madilogo, Enivologo, Hailogo and Manumu are anxious to Ila•• Lecal G0Yer1U1ent, Naoro is apprehensive or it and Boridi ie atrongl1 agaiaat haYing it. Other villages ••d• no comaents on t~~ subject. The area would seem to lend itself well t~ iaforaaticn ot a aew Council. Unleea the1 could eenefit quickly fro• joining the Moree\1 Council, I would consider it highl1 dangerous to allow it.

26. Generally, it was gratifying to note tb& interest skowa in formal and iatormal talks a\out the Acllliniatratioa.

AGRICULTURE

~. The food aituatioa ie ver1 good and cultivation potential ia higa. Large cropa of sweetcorn are under way, literall1 tone of mandarin• in ee .. on are grown ,okari trees are u\iquitoua and banana gardens large and ... ,.

28. D.A.s.r. ha•• iaatituted fairly large plantings of lettuce, potato••, carrota, to•atoea and cabbage at Nadua.Ullu and Lawiumu.

30. ~eri Tillage toth• aoutk ie the onl7 one within reaaoaa\l• ace••• to a ••hicular road. A bunch of bananas weig~ag 40 1-•· would coat l1.6o air freight and would -· sold for around 11.40 at Koki. One Patair pilot waa coneulted re prospects ot arrangiag charter flighte. PreYiding the plane could land quickl7, be filled with ~roduce which would -e aold quicJl1, it ••••e th•r• would be little adYantage in o\tainiag a charter at approxi•atel1 16~.oo a ti•e with freight of arotaad 1500 l~a. The peo"9 feel they are being exploited by the airlines.

31. ~t ManWIU, I waa told there are fttranded tra••~•r• often left •hen the expected a.all plane sometime• does not arrivG ot a Thurad&J &ad proapective cargo ia left to rot. It waa explained that, .a tbe7 alread7 knew, the plane aometi••• eannot land it the airstrip ia ahrou4•d '1 cloud.

32. One solution •ight be found at Manari if tne ~ trade store• banded together with cash croppers aad -u-ranged a charter to freight thlir rice etc. into Naoro &D4 Yegetabl• Jllll•••IJ produce out on the one round trip. With a bit of organiaation, this should not '• difficult once a •oath. Soma cot!•• beana had -••n picked and awaited trandport to be arranged •Y D.A.S.F. at ~h• till• of the patrol.

35. Poultr7 is kept in Yarying numbers and wander around the villagea. At Etogi are 19 (I think, Rhode Island Reds), in a coop - another D~A.S.F. project. From what I could gather, livestock does not play a Tery important part in either cash or subsistence economy. Poultry seems aainl1 for gitta and parties. Egge are ao•etimes gathered and one ot the cattle owners baa induced hie son to drink milk obtained at the rat• ot a bucket a day from the one •ilker.

FORESTS

)6. There are a lot ot cedar tree• around ManW1u and these are used for houaing •aterial • Other officers have reported good hardwooda ••peciall7 near the •••tern Tillages.

COMMIBCE AND INDUSTRY

37. Moat Tillages ha•• at l&aat one trade store aelling all or an7 ot rice, augar, chewing gu•, matches, "twiatiea", tinned meat and fish, dripping, hair oil, Milo, bread~ kerosene, salt, biscuit•, bex powder•, eteel wool, airrora and combs. Very few coyer or •••n come cloae to th.• till range.

)8. Al•o•t all haY9 an •••rage of about 20 ebareholdera. Book-keeping 1• laaphaaard aa is the manner of pricing; e.g. rice and augar are aold in the Tillages at '°' per 2lb. parcel, tine of aeat (net .. ight 12 or..) ~t 5t •••r Morea~7 prices. B7 the time freight claargea and the coat of the atoreman'a fare• to and from Moreab7 are deducted there i• little it an7 •argin tor profit. It waa auggeated that whea all food ia eold (aa i• norlR&l. ~•tore a new order i• aade) that a check be kept ~1 a oout ot •on•1 to .. certain it the "~aak" i• goiag up or dowa. All had licences, albeit a t•• oYerdue tor reaewal.

39. Ua•all7 a aaall auab•r ot basket •••••re can be located in the Yillag••• So•• Yer7 attracti•e and aer•iceable cbaira and taltl•• are •ade fro• rattan.

~ I feel •~• that theae would coapete fayourabl7 with machine-made ailli.lar article• sold in Auatralia and o•eraeu.

41. Cuh earn:inge are difficult to asae•• aa tn• prices vary and ao do the UWl-•r• of product• made and sold.

42. 1111 So•• ot the Madilogo-Eni.Yilogo group make occaaional ~ri1pa into the buah and 1:11'. a few oaaaowaries for sale in Moreab7 • " •• people tro• Auwaiabai'i•a and Uberi sell pigs to New Guin•• albourera at Sogeri.

COMPLAINTS

43. In the mai.n the•• were:-

Village Cona·table' • P&J • Airline c~ge• too high. Another Yill94• haa aore shotguns. (See Appendix C) Nowhere to atay in Port Moreab7 on selling trlpa. No aid poet, Goyeruent acho·>l or help fro• the Govermaent i~ r4turn tor tax••·

~~. In 196o, Mr. Patrol Officer Altltott aaaur•d the people h~ would tr1 an4 find accommodation tor their short st&J• in Moreab7. The Sal•ation

•

' (c: \ 0

Ara7 Bostel at 20 cents per night is not always, I'm told.,capable of acco .. odating all co•muters. The koiari settlement a.t 7 mile has not a proper water suppl7. Perhaps the Moresby L.G.C. could institute an acooaaodation project tor these transients who are Ter1 diecontented.

COURTS

45. None ••re heard or referred to a senior officer.

REST HOUSES

46. Elologo, 1 hour and 55 mina. walk from Madilogo ia the onl1 Tillage without a rest houae. Moat are in~xcellent condition. It waa often sut1••t•d to •• that new onea would be built soon and "would the GoTernment perhaps send so•e ~la, hammers and saws?2 Not a very unreaaonable request.

CARRIERS

4?. No difticult7 was experiencet in obtaining carriers who volunteered freely enough and were paid the approved rate. Usually, they would come overnight fr~m their own Tillages to where the patrol waa waiting and diaper•• to talk on arrival. So•e scarcas~ was noted when a Tillage official would remind•• that "the carrier• want their aixpenae," eluding to the hourl7 rate ot 10cents.

~. There ia a strong reluctance to visit the 2 aid post.tor treataent by Tillage people without an aid poet in their Tillage. One woman was treated for a ahockingly ulcerated foot which h4d -•en in that con.ition tor weeka. This waa an extreme case but is JMIJlllKJ II indicatiTe of the neglectful attitude.

49. Ver7 little tinva imbricata was noticed. Scabies are f a1 too coaon. An APO from Kagi joined the patrol at Manumu and stayed with it right to Moresb7. A woman was laid out at Manari in great diatreas. Mick, the AfO, said she was suffering from asthaa. We decided she would be Hnt to Moresby on the first ava:Uable plane from Naoro. The Bagianumu v.c. aaked loudly in her presence what would happe6 to the ao47 if she died in hospital. She died two hours later. Her husband •aid she'd received treatment once a couple ot yeara ag~ at 3 mile, •uttered occasional bout• culminating in the final one which lasted •'tout 2 weeks. During this period they alleged to be awaiting the patrol. The decision tn charge for treatment at major hoapitala waa known and caused aoae dissa~iafsct1on ~ut t he people aeem now to accept this. The main worry is th~ expense ot a coffin and freight ot bodiea back to villages.

50. Bailogo and Manari haTe a lot ZI ot flies. In the latter, the APO told •• about a dozen 7Qung children were suffering !rom diarrhoea.

51. Cockroaches were thriTing well in a l l Tillages. It could be a~Yiaable to euppl7 cockroach killer aa a preventatiT• againat poaaible jaundice outbreaka.

52. Pneumonia haa been reported b7 other of ficera aa being the main killer. Health at the time of thia patrol seemed Tery good.

53. There are z Ac:lministratiT• aid poet• tor the whole diTiaion, one at ManU11u, the other at Kagi. The APO at the former ia an old aan not capable of patrolling. Coaplainta haT• been nU11eroua that the 7oung APO at Kagi do•• not patrol. It wu suggested to him that he patrol in future. Whe• an Aid Po•t i• in a Tillage, the APO'• work ~an be d•aancliag. It would be greatl7 appreciated it a further APO cotU.d be poated to either Naoro or Manari. Tb••• two Yillag•• are close to lllJ,'!S Madilog~.

56. Manuau ia L.H.S. and the remainder S.D.A.

57. Bodinuu and Kagi Tillages ri ·th respeetively 50 and 75 children aged 6 to 15 7eara inclusiTe want Administration teachers for their children. These two Tillage• -oth follow the S.D.A. -•liefa, but haTe been unable to obtain teachers frOll their church. A building and forma to aeat aoat of theee children have been erected at Bodinumu. ETen L.M.S. teach•rs would be acceptable the people •&J• It is an eaaJ one hour walk between Tillagea.

58. Manalogo is a boarding school for children from aurrounding Tillages Thwre are 5 dormitories and 3 claearooma. The ~atrol was greeted b7 the atudenta singing the National Antbea. At Efogi, the song was "Bow do JOU do" with the students 'bowing or curtea7ing according to sex.

ROADS AND BRIDGES

59. There are no vehicular roads in the are&, the nearest being the road-head at the Owers Corner 40 minutes fro• U~eri. Walking t~acka haTe been Tery wall maintained with few exceptions, the latter being on ao•e steep, slippery hill a. Steps haTe been cut into the hill a and stabilized with wooden pega. Grass ••• cut and cleared to an •~•rage width of one and a half fathoae.

60. Village officials from Elologo, Madilogo, EniTologo and Hailogo haTe met one• and were to hold anot~er meeting this week to discuss the poaa19111tJ of implementing a Tehicular road from Motuaotu to these Tillages. It ia said the walking track ie fairlJ flat and straight. Should ~hey decide to go ahead they will almost certainl7 approach thia office for tools. From here to Dubi the people are anxioua to haTe Local BoTernment ae they feel this would solve all their pr~bleae.

61. A road would be & boon to the area. There are a lot of cedar trees a.n4 other tia~er near these 4 villages; the ground ia relativelJ flat for •&DJ acres trom Madilogo, Manari and Naoro. CasuaU.z tU.king wi~h the Bolldill v.c., he aaid he thought the people would l~se timber righta, giTen the opportunity. I would like to mount /short patrol to coyer this route from Motumotu te Madilogo ~o see the possibilities. A better idea of course ~ould be for a Works Of!icor to do thiP.

MISSIONS

62. Moat villages ~oast an s.D.A. pastor, the majority of whom giTe religiou5 instruction and conduct services. An L.M.S. pastor is living at. Dubi. He waa posted to Boridi 2 years ago, where ac~ommodation aha not yet been er~~ted. Thie mission has been trying to eoax Boridi Tillage fro• the top of the shep hill it occupies to the prerioue •ite at the bottom. Because of numerous de,ths at the old site, the people intend re~aining where they are.

63. '!'here ia another L.M.S. pastor at Manumu aa well as the ach~ol teacher. The latter has had proper teaching and theological training, and ia generally well-educated.

AIR!'llLDS

64. Th••• are at Manumu, Kagi, Etogi and Naoro. Another ia under conatruetioa at Maaari. II A Stol pilot said the7're a~out the lowest cateeor7 "D". Manuau and Naoro are fairly flat, the fther two aad tile ••• site haYe ~ quite considerable bumps in thea. Villager• ~and togeth•r to cut the graas. Air freight is 4 cent• a l~. and $8 per capita to or from Moresby.

65. Trips &re made Thur3days, Friday• and 5-tu~daya. Because of weather conditions, and possibly ~ther reasons, scheduled flights do not alwa7a eTentuate.

66. Charter rates for a Porter. with a capacity of 1900 lbs. is $110 per hour and !lying ti•e to and from Moresby is around 20 ~inutes each way.

LABOUR

67. Short-term labo~r is eYidently preferred, aainl7 manual ~'bour. V•r1 few ~eople are literate or haTe any skills, such as driYing. Only one pers~n fro• the area is attending a technical school. I was told no others eTer have.

PERSOllAL TAX

68. It ia •l•ost 2 years since personal tax waa collected. The people ••r• reported as being reluctant to pay their $2.00.

SU~J.:ABY

6)~ Like man7 others, the Koiaris are not elated with their lot. Air­fielcle have been constructed but after up to 4 7eara of hard work are not greatly benefiting their makers. Ver7 few people walk when they can ~u7 a 'plane trip. D.A.S.F. are .. aisting the econoay -7 marketing produce from Kagi and ltogi. It i• hoped aore aarkets ot a satiafactor7 kind can be found tor food, baskets, tables and cheira. Perhaps Trade ani Industr7 c•.n aaaist here. Sale of coffee may booat the econoa7.

70~ If other YillageH take the attitude of Boridi, Welfare would be ••lcoaed with open ar-as and could well -ooat moral9 and h7giene. Poating soae more A.P.O.'s to help th• 2 in the~·• and some Admin. teacher• to Bodin'111u and Kagi would iaproYe the Adainistration'• iaage in the area.

?1. Another patrol by ~ Medical Assistant should receive more co-operation than previously encountered. Health seemed good during this patrol but Medical Asaintanta have written in Villa~• books that the area needs a regular check.

?2. A repl7 to Village Constables re thei* wage¥ cl&iaa and plane tarea on official business would a .. pear highly adTisable, preferably in the near fu~re. An earl7 repl7 to these people would show th~t their talk h .. not been disregarded.

73, Two patrols have Tisi ~ed Mt. Koiari for Local. GoYernaent auneya. Madilogo, Elologo., Bailogo, EniYilogo and Manumu now ~ant Councils. An official explanati~n of the Administration's present attitude to thia want aight possibly atop frustration from arising. It the ... Ht. loiari Census DiTiaion joiDed the Morea~y L.G.C., they would under the current s1aytem, b .. •d on popu ation, be allowed to elect approxiaate11 2" Councillors w4ose collectiT• voice would be ualikely to summon auch Council expenditure to the area.

7~. Tee proposed route troa Motur.otu to Madilogo should be explore~.

75. To assist sellers of produ~e visiti~g Moresby, if this i~ not considered undesj.rable, better accoamodation facV.itiee •i~ht be proYided. The Koiari settlement at 7 mile would be aatisfactory if water ~ .. aupplied and aanitatlon ahecked. In return for a water supply a nominal fee could be ch~·ged.

APPENDIX C

LAND TENURE AND CLAN LEADERS.

Land is passed down patrilineally as is Clan leadership. A woman cannot become a Clan leader. If a man has no sons, ownership may pass to the eldest daughter, custom being that she will marry within the clan and paaa title to the oldest male offspring. Interim or full rights may alao paaa to the deceased'a nearest male blood relation. In the case of interim rights, these are as a trust held for the benefit of the deceased'• grandson until th9'time he is deemed capable of managing his own affairs.

Complications have arisen through the deaths of large num-ers of males and the people frequently showed they were unsure of Clan leaders. Some clans .iiave diYided and regrouped. Land boundaries appear to be well-known by the greater majority. Within the clans are family grou >ft and what I think are sub-clans with indiydually owned land not subjec~ to clan rule. Such land, ~s is common practice in Papua, moat frequently marked by trees planted by someone's ancestor.

At Naoro, the l'levirogo clan leader, a Village Constable, says he ia the boas of th~ land and people must see him re garden sites. Generall7, eleewhere a communal system prevails whereby an7one ma1 cho~ae their own sitee. So•• groups maintain there are no markers or boundaries within Clan-owned land. Others haYe such boundaries which may or aay not be di•~•garded depending on the owner'• attitude. In the latter instance, a •an might become upset if someone else began working hia land without first seeking permission. Some Madilogo people ••r• arguing. With th3 help of an old man the following genealogJ" waa traced. The first three were sibling•. Goruai was killed in a fight. Ria 2 sisters, the remainder of the clan, were obliged to seek outsiders for huabanda.

Clan information for BaiYologo, Bodinumu, Dubi, Uberi and Kaukabai.'"1a has regrettably been misplaced by me but should be easily obtainable.

PATHOL R.EPO:~T JO . 2 of 1967/68

The above report is forwarded for your inform 0 tion .

This report, com~l eted on Bth . November , 1967 reached this office 6 months t0 t r.e d 8.y after having ~een presented to the Assistant District Com:.1i'3 Ricmer , Port I'oresby Sub-District. I will be re c~u.e stin g an expl :-.n8.tion from the Assistant District 0ommissioner ~s to reason for the inordinate delay in submisslon .

This area has little to offer in tl e prospects of economic development. A.riy arable l ~~d is a consi der~ble distance from the villaee a._nd villages ""re surrounded by SWBJ!lpla.nd.

lncloaed herewith please tiad t he above report submitted 1n duplicate by Patrol Ofticer Mr. J.J. Ad8Dls.

2. ~ a1ma ot the pat rol as set out in the Patrol Instructions were 1ati1tactoril.7 completed and my comments are as tollow11-

(a) COtJICIL BX-'WTION

!he tendencr tor the Councillor to concern h111Hlt with onl1 hi• ovn village 1n a 11Ult1 village ward i• net confined en.17 to Vud 1 ot the Port Moresby Council. Hove·Hr 1 the tendenor ii •re pronounced due to the d1frerence1 of cu.1 tur•. Manu Manu uintaina olo•• af'tiliationa vi th the lluia Gabadia of the la1J.'Uku 8ub-D1atrict, is also at loggerhead• with Qorohu over lall and 1a quite a diatance by aea tram K1do. Tim• and turther political education may serve to reduce this e1tranc ... nt.

(lt) ICJIOOL SITI il OOROHtJ

Reference 11 made to rq 3S-5-103 ot 18th April, 1968.

(o) 'W JUUQI SID - UDO JILUQI

It would appear that the people ot ltido ha~ 11ven up the intention of moTing. Since thi• patrol, the lov lJ1.DI IVUlpJ area adjacent to the village ha• been elirll.naii<'d br the ooaatr.ction of a retaining wall to keep the sea trom inundating the area at high tide.

3. lf7 final comments are that this rerort illustrates the keeneaa or the Officer conducting the patrol and Mr. Adams is to be commended for his efforts.

'+. '!'he late sc.bmission to you is regretted, this not being the tault ot the Otticer submitting the report.

INTRODUCTION

The patrol was instituted for two purposes ns per the pre amble hereto.

1ittle tl a t i s new can be added to Patrol Report No. 1 of 1967/68, of which paragraph 34 ~s particularly r elevant. IlHVE, who instituted the Aguro Cattle project in between Naoro and }!anari Villages, had criused some \lis content over t he land he was using for his cattle. Ownership of the land was disputed. Sobi of Hanari, and Viena of Naoro claimed the land was their's and had given I1'i·ve permissive occupmcy. Their clan then claimed it belonged to all.

Because of Sobi and Yiena's claim, it wa5 proposed to complete Lands Form 1A with the vi~w to se j'; tling the dispute. It was agreed by all parties that Inive would then purchase or lease the land from the re~ultant owners.

The other purpose was to look over the possibilities of implementing a vehicular road route between Madilogo and Gorokobiai hamlet (goldie rlver). Unfortunately it appeared that the wet se~son was setting in, heavy rain fell continuously for hours at a time, and as it 'ould mean three nights without shelter this aspect of the patrol was abandoned until more clement weather should prevail. (~/A.D.C's 67-2-6 of 25th October, 1967, para. 3(d) refers).

A survey was co~~enced to enable ~he plan on reverse of Form 1A to be completed. Unfortunately, the machine for measuring groillld slopes was found to be gro~~ly inaccurate and thit will mean an officer will need to covGr part o! the growid again for an accurate plan to be drawn for an Investigation Report.

The dispute over Aguro has veen resolv- ~ oy the people who now agree tha.t it is clan land and nc, ', exclusively owned b; Viena and Sobi. Lands Department are oeing approached as to whether Inive can purchase according to native custom or if Application Form 1 must instead be submitted. Tiie need for ?orm 1A is thus now obviated.

Chain and comnass measurements and bearings taken by me as a preliminary to completion of For~ 1a will be filed under ''Hatters •for E'.ttention - Mt. Koiari". As mentioned, land slopes will need to be tal{en with an accurate instrument before an ac~urate plan can be draW'!l, subject to a re_ly from Lands and eventual, reaso~ably envisaged, authority to investigate.

Since the p~evio~s patro~ 3 of Inive's cattle have died . l·:r. A. 11..ars.h, Stock !.LlS pector, Sogeri, suspects they may lave ea ten sor.1c thi!,g cUsagrec'a bl e . D . f .• S. F • o ·(:as ion ally check on tre project. Inive now has 15 head of catt le.

Cont.

~ tentative of1er ma~e Ly a r;uropean to tuy about 300 acres near haoro~was enthu~iast1cally creetecl by the vill <=lc er~ who expre~sed ~heir.wil l ingnes~ to alienate the l and . It is expectea that a Form 1 will be sutn1tted within the ensuing week .

C0?1PLAIH1'S, Cv lJRTS

None .

Not required. ~adilogo said they would willinely supply eight to carry to Goldie R_ ver, thr .e da:.· ' s walk away . The ., peopie of the area accept carryi!1g for the Ad1 ir:istraticn as, , ·' ' a relatively necessary evil. ~

An anti-malFria Patrol conducted by I~~ Tom Vanderkuip experienced no difficulty with carriers until three or four of his indigenous assistants were left to fend for themselves from ~faoro. One Councillor ci.nd his friends carried when most of the other villagers refused. This caused some discontent .

The defaulters were ouestioned and reckoned they want9d to rempin in the village ~s their S.D.A. pastor was visiting.

HEALTH

There are two aid posts, one at Manumu and the ether at Kagi. The Hanumu A.P.O. was absent . A message was sent to Kagi requesting that \he patrol, 'vhi:::h he does not do, but he declined, saying that h :!.. s leave was coming up. The walk from Kagi to Haoro can be done easily in one day.

As the previous patrol no~ed, the people are upset that A.P.O's do not visit villages but remain where they are posted.

~~ . Vanderkuip said he noted many sores and s~abies plus some maleria. His assistants sprayed housing, took blood samples from all people and dispensed anti-malarial tablets where necessary. Unfortunately they were not equipped to administer First Aid or trent scabies.

Generally, health appeared very good.

AIRFIELDS

The t-:anumu airstrip was closed because the grass had not been cut. The people of this locali t:r now wish to purchase a srass cutter. A Stol pilot said D.C.A. expected to re-open the 'strip when the grass was cut.
