MAN STILL MISSING

An intensive search for Mr. Edgar Carryer by police and civilian parties yesterday and on Thursday failed to establish contact with the missing man, and grave anxiety is felt for his safety. Mr. Carryer left his home, Birdwood Avenue, Moturoa, New Plymouth, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday to do business in the town. He was seen in the town about 11.30 a.m., apparently in his usual good spirits, but has not been heai\d of since. He was expected home for lunch, but when he had not returned after a reasonable period his relatives communicated with the police. Mr. Carryer did some business in the town, as he had intended, and nothing unusual was noticed about him. He has not been sleeping well and has suffered from loss of memory lately, which has made his relatives anxious for him.

A party of five police and several civilians search for Mr. Carryer on Thursday at Pukekura Park and at Fitzroy beach and late on Thursday afternoon two parties from the Taranaki Alpine Club searched around Paritutu and from the railway station to the Waiwakaiho River.
