CRAIG KENNEDY, j who is stationed in New Guinea, has! sent his children, Sally and Craig, | I an interesting letter telling of a lost | I colony which was recently found by i 1 American pilots in New Guinea. It! j seems that the crew of a C-49 plane, ! pioneering a new transport air route in New Guinea, discovered a valley j i surrounded by 15.000-foot mountains i , in which a colony of perhaps 75,000 | natives are believed to have lived! j for centuries cut off from all con? tact with the outside world. This 1 | Shangri-la of New Guinea is like nothing else on the huge tropical | island. The natives are lighter skin- | tned than the regular islanders. The ! vegetation in the valley is different! from that in the rest of New Guinea. I Unlike the primitive natives in other J parts of the island, the residents of { this remote valley seem to have de veloped a high degree of civiliza-! tion. Their villages are large and surrounded by walls, tlie land is in tensely cultivated and irrigated. No white man and probably no regular native of New Guinea has set foot in the valley. The only outsiders to see it have been American /pilots and flight crews.

This “Declaration” ts forJthe year April 1st, 1945 to April 1st, 1946. You will have to file only once, BUT WE SUGGEST THAT YOU GET THIS DONE AT ONCE SO THAT YOU WILL BE FREE TO ORDER COAL WHEN NEEDED. Consumers will be allowed to purchase 80% of their “Normal Require ments.”' We also wish to announce that any coal orders re ceived by us since April 1, 1945 are taken SUBJECT TO NEW CEILING PRICES yet to be determined. When Mr. John L. Lewis got his way with the coal dispute it was at the expense of the coal consumers. Coal will be higher, we regret to say. COAL WILL BE SCARCE. Conserve it. Place your order NOW; rationing does hot mean that you will always be able to get coal but merely that you can only get your part. In order to get your part you should order early.
