Abstract: Beginning in 1951, the Headquarters for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) regularly published a magazine that detailed its work in the region. From 1951 through the first issue of 1956, the magazine was known as the Micronesian Monthly; from the second issue of 1956 through the end of the run in 1980, it was known as the Micronesian Reporter. From 1951 through December 1967, publication cycles varied: For the most part, the magazine was produced monthly, though certain issues cover two or more months. Starting in 1968, the magazine was formally shifted to a quarterly publication cycle, which continued through the first quarter of 1980, when publication ceased.
This issue turns to questions of infrastructure and communications, with particular emphasis on Saipan and Guam as administrative and transportation hubs. The editors also devote space to outer-island concerns, ensuring that reports from remote atolls such as Pingelap and Nukuoro are represented.
Feature reports describe the extension of telephone lines in Saipan, the completion of a power station in Guam, and the expansion of inter-island shipping via the Coral Queen. An economic section details the copra trade in the Marshalls, citing Rongelap and Enewetak as principal contributors. A cultural article records festivities on Yap honoring traditional chiefs, including ceremonies presided over by Chief Ruung.
Prominent individuals include Governor John M. Vance, Chief Justice Edward Pangelinan, and chiefs from Yap and Palau. Entities referenced are the Trust Territory administration, the Ponape district legislature, United Micronesian Development Association (UMDA), and church organizations active in youth education.
