Goroka the pilot, the first load was about three-parts covered with bags of mail. Met this afternoon George Greathead, an early District Commissioner of the Eastern Highlands, who resigned from the government service some years ago to plant coffee and do general farming in the Goroka area. Came to New Guinea as a patrol officer in 1933. Take-off time for the first flight in the morning is 7 o'clock, weather permitting. Opinion is that the take-off will be later, especially if rain falls tonight. The valley is often fogged in after rain, as this morning. After 10 am. high wind can be expected on Keglsugl strip.
