Throughout the day the whole programme of feeding the "troops" was carried on without a hitch, despite sev- eral plan changes thrown in by those controlling the exercise, possibly to test the flexibility of our unit and workers. Despite some rather short-term changes, Brother Geelan and Mrs. White proved to be unshakable in their ability to cope with difficulties, and right on time a hearty meal topped off with apple pies, custard and cream, was served. During the afternoon the welfare unit received further work when walking wounded casualties were diverted to wel- fare care by the forward medical aid unit. At the end of the exercise at 4.30 p.m. the umpires called all personnel together and summed up the work of the various teams. They praised the work of the welfare unit for a job well done. Since the exercise we have received many expressions of appreciation for the work of the group who comprised the welfare unit and for the forethought of the church in providing the van for just such possible emergencies. The aim of Civil Defence is to raise and train an effective welfare section to sup- port the work of wardens, rescue parties, radiological teams, and medical units.

Campers Come Long Distances H. HARKER Director, Bogia District, Madang Mission Madang Mission had long made plans for a wonderful camp-meeting and ses- sion this year. The date set was April 22-24, and the place, Nubia, in the Bogia district. Weeks before, the mission staff and delegates began preparations to attend. Some travelled 150 miles down the Ramu River in a canoe especially made for the trip. Others walked for two days and more, or came on the mission ship "Light" from Mariam and Boise, Islands as well as Madang and Saidor. The week began with a visit by Pastor L. A. Dyason who, after spending time in the Madang and Saidor areas, had a full itinerary from Sunday to Wednesday night. His temperance lectures to school children and nightly programmes for both young and old were all well at- tended at such places as the Hansenide Colony at Hatzfeldhaven, a Lutheran Two new missionaries are Mr. and Mrs. K.
