'i~o &et t o ekotiau the patrol travelled on foot from Vanimo station. or most of the way t he t r ack was wet and muddy. T s is to be expected at this time cf tbe year. Betvoen vanimo and sosi v:!.11 ge leuches are plentiful ld are severe on the carriers' le ,s. Native f irs. t each villa::& passed through on rout& tc.' Sekoatiau al'lquiries were made concerning movement of people to est Nev Gt inea vill ges . No such mo-vements vere reported. It seems t hat al tho~ people in thesto villagos do have biological and af final links with people on the est New Guinea side visits are not made oft en but t e d to be spasmodic . 'fhe only P"o/'i. wno visited Sekot iau wer e the patrol personnol end the carriers from the Pagi group of villages. In fact many of '!:he carr.i.ers were reluctant to o any furt t t uan t n.e de~erted camp site, Pav-paw 1 which is bet... een Elis a.YJ.d Sekotiau. On 'll'ritin t • ekotiau I explained to the village t1 oadraan the purpose of 0'11' visit - the placin.., of a cement marlt f or aerial p. oto co 1trol. e told me that the Sekoti&.u people i d not want to h vo anyt hi n to do witn the Av.stralian Administr tion and that thoy stiL wished to be dministered !'rom Hollandia. Also t first t hey were rel uctant to have a ce :ier·t placed 1n the village. n so e respects heir attitude W'as to be expected.

Thrff village houses, the rest house anrl the police barracks would have to be ll'OVed f rom their present positions. I consider that one hundred en working full tille could have a strip r eady for operation i n two 1110nths. Maintenance would be no problem because there ai•e three v.tllages nearby. With the constant checking or movements across the border as well as other border intelli gence work a Cessna stip in the Pagi area would be an dvantagc From Pagi•Kl.ia to Sekotiau and from there across the border is a permanent route To get to Pagi on foot takes thre e days from VimiJao.

I agree that the people have accepted bis presence with'Ut opposition, but I e doubttul i f they will conti.nue to do so i.mless we can give them some incentives. EpUCATigt' - I do feel that we should give these people something more than Just a mission school. The scllool t Vanimo appears to have teen in the process ot becoming a boarding school for far too long. LANP MATIER§ - It will qe as well to start gathering as much information on the possible dispute over sago as 7ou can. Being in the area it is, i t. could lead up to some t hing, even imaginary. lJJiQY'l - I would give t hese people every encouragement to go out t~ work, even to goiny over the limit. Administration monies going into the area will be limited alld I would like to see a work force retainad, l\ble t o absorb those monies, wnilst the remainder go out. AGRICUL~E - Be extl'emely wary on t he introduction of crops. r do nowant these people t o get a cash crop idea, we will never get the s tuff out. As an improvement to their di et, yes, by all means . ~ - Do make every endeavour to give your police a break eit ~ \r at 'Van1.mo or Wutong. I found years ago that police le,. too long 1n your are were invariably "fro.med" and cases in those days wera not only heard but bad to be investigatad and enacted at the scene of the accusations. This meant some extremely hard work and days of 'olalk1ng ; you have not eot the time. Youi· rem rks on H9alth and Hygiene have be n passed to t. ~ Medical Offic r . ii'1nally.

The Field Of ficer's Journal, Folios Ho . 112 to 121 inclusive, gives daily a ctivities for the pel'iod which this report covers . Na tive f fairs . The Wutung people appear to have accepted the standing pa trol i n their villa ,~ e . There has been neither a g 'eat display of enthusiasm nor any host ility. s f ar as possib1e I have attempted to leave t he people t. o t heir own devices and not interrupt normal daily activities . It is only nat m.•al that ~ ~~;~~:;t : nterference in t heir daily actlvities could cau1!,Y General dis< ussions have been held as to why the patrol is here . I have s t ressed the necessity f or continual precauti<}Ils aga inst sickness spreading to t his '.ferritory from the west . v' During the las t couple of we eks 1 have paid out money which has been owing to the Wutung people. This was f or various building ma terials supplied to Vanimo station and for carrier~ Natural.Ly enough they are pleased to have received the money • ./' A wireless has been put in Wutun g village and most of t h e people enj oy listening to radio Wewak. The Councill or looks after the wirel ess , At times they wish to know more about some news i tems and want others more fully expl ained, I have told them to al•ays ask me about news items which they don • t fulljr understand. I t has been pointed out to them t hc.t they can a sk/ to have records played and I expect that they will be making requests in the near future . Up until now .1. have said very little to them concerning village copra production. However some interest and enthusiasm seem to have already been revived in i;his f.1. eld and further disc uss ions about the matter will be held. Since arr i ving here various sections of the coconut plantings have been cleaned and the rest will be cleaned l a ter on , Th o copra dr ier is new and up until now has never been used. / }enerally speaking villa ge ~ . ifo i n Wutun,; is happy, There is very little evidence of f r i ction between individuals and family groups. Several minor dis putes have been brou 'ht to me d ..i r in ' the past coupl e of weeks and all have been settles! amicably. ./ Village and Official. Wu tung village is clean lilld tidy. ?.ousing ls generall y good and some of the older hous es a now b9lng replaced with better designed and more spdcious dwellings . There is some f sense of civic pride in the vill age. There are very few flies and mosquitoes . ., Councill or Lima is helpful and co- operative. He comes from one of tne most i nfluential families of the village and seems to have the support of tne people. Whenever rossible l / work throueh and with t he Councillor r at.ier then the poli o~ liho a are accompanying the patrol. Heal th and Hygiene. All materials for the new small hospital are now at Wutung and it is expected that work will begin on the building in the near future . The ores-ant Aid Post continues t o ive health services to the people. There are no seriously ill people in Wutung and the Aid Post Orderly treats the usual rainor complaints such as cuts, sores , aches and so on. The ,ifutung group appear to be quite heal thy and have a fairly well balanced diet. Since arrivin_; here a new pol ~.ce house and small coolc house have been built. The police house is a good bui:!.ding and is situated in a positlon not far from the rest house. Th.J police helped to collect some of the building materials, clean the site md area surrounding the house. I/ Although during the day there are not many duties for the police all ·tave had periods of night duty in and around Wutung1 . concentratin_; tr..:linly on the tracks leading into the village.M f~from the west.

This is t he second report on the ~t and in,s patrol at Wu tung. Ti1e Field Officer Is Journal ' olio~ ~ ~ 120 to 137 . inclusive, account s for the day t o day a.ctivi ties of the penod covered by this r epor t . Native Affairs . I ment ioned in my last report i;i1u ~ ~ ;,., ;.;u.t -.:u>g;; ~=- :! accepted t he permanent patrol in their village wi thout either showing ent husiasm or hostility. Dur ing the last few weeks there s eems to have been a favourable change in the attitude of the people. Prior to our arrival the people apparently thought t hat wutung was t he 11 world 11 and what occurred outside tl'\,eir vicinity was of no consequence a s far as t hey were concerned. When necessary t hey vi sited Vanimo and, np until a few months ago, Hollandia. Regular patrols visited them f rom Vanimo and l eft when work was completed. 11edical treatment could always be obtained f rom the Ai d Post and they knew that any serious illness could be t r eated at Vani mo and Wewak. No doubt what I have ment ioned above is t he general norm of any other villages throughout the Territory. However very few individual vill ages suddenly have an officer and police permanently stationed in t heir vici nity as has heen t he case at Wu tung during t he last two months . I t ha s not been easy for the Wutungs to fully real ise t he rea son f or having someone stationed here permanently. Of course they all knew that Indonesia took ove'r West New Guinea from the Dutch. However they did not r ealise that the takeover by the Indonesians necessitated certain precautions to be taken by their own administration i n the border area. Their attitude seemed to be when the Dutch were on the other side no one bother ed about t he Wut ung border area so wily worry now. To a certain extent t heir feelings about t he matter can be appreciated. From village gossip and other sources of information it seems t hat having t he gover nment stationed in their midst has bean a topic f or conversation ••• they like to talk. It meant that some change was to be made in their small 11 world 11 Wutung and although this is in some respects true 1 have tried to interf ere as little as possible in village l ife. i consi der that several factors have helped contribute to t he favourable change i n attitude which I mentioned earlier. These are as follows: - a . ?arsenal contact. I have held meet ings wi t h t hem a!"d encoura5ed t nem to come to t he r est house fo;;• a talk whenever they feel inclined. The meetings and talks have covered council work, what is happening in other parts of the Te1·ritory and what they t hemselves can do to benefit their vi1.laae. b. Councillor Lima's visit to Wewak . Lima recently visited Jewak for a Council Confe "ence. Together with otner councillors he was shown some of the work now underway in t he Wowak area. On his return to Wtttung he was able to tell his people bent the visit. c . Simo~en Peter ' s visit. I doubt if many of t he Wutung s ever realised that the1· e are l eaders such as Simo ~ en Peter around . From time to time t hey hear bout native loaders on the wireless. However to see one i n the flesh and have him talk to them wa s something quite dift" eren.t and i feel hi.:; visit was beneficial. d . Hadio ;Nowak . J:ne new broadcasts are heard and help make tne people realise wl"at is h ppenin, in other p rts of tno District. There are a few older men .1.n Wutung who have been ret i red f rom the police force for a number of years. They are good men but unfort1mately none seem to have contr buted much in t he way of advice an knowledge for t he benefit of t 11e village. Perha.ps in the early years of their retirerllent they did attemp~ to help b~l t t he Wutungs being like they are , were probably not interested in any advice. Councillor Limd is a bright and shrewd young man. There are 0thers who are becoming more aware of what they can cio . Generally speaking the native affairs situation is good.

I t i s difficult to find an adjective to describe the Wutung group . Perhaps " strange ! or 11 different 11 would apply• ~· A new Aid Post has been ·built at Wutung. There · s a clinic, ward and fire place. All buildings have cement flo ors , sawn timber frames and iron rooves. A steel sink and tank water supply are other features of the new Aid Post. The surrounding area has been cleared and flowers and shrubs planted. Some of the children are sufferi ng from whooping cough. They are being treated at t he :A.id Post. Regular checks are being made to ensure that the parents are taking t he children for treatment. Border Intelligence. There have been some activities i n t his field. All matters have bsen dealt with under separate correspondence to the Offi'ler In Charge, Vanimo . Agriculture • .\ls soon as opportunity permits copra production will be started ajain. At present most of the people able to work are otherwise employed and there always has to be some left free to gather food and go fishing. During July I intend going wi th the councillor to an area on the mountain range about half a day• s walk away from Wutung to collect leaf and bark samples of a certain tree.

It is the opinion of the writer that t hese lectures would have been more effective and to the point if the two officers had been given more time to plan a r ogr runme fol' their talks.They were in poEsession of some well turned out pamphlets which could have been distributed to the peopl had they been print .i in Pidgin,ap9roxim1t tely 90% of them were in English.
