From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, May 21.
THERE was a representative gathering of members of the Suva Chamber of Commerce at the Grand Pacific Hotel recently when Mr. A. O. Mackenzie, man ager of Burns Philp (South Sea) Co., who left for Sydney by the Monterey on May 12, was the recipient of a farewell pre sentation of a handsome tortoise-shell desk set.
In the absence of the president of the Chamber (Sir Mlaynard Hedstrom) the vice-president (Mr. T. Horne) presided and made the presentation. Mr. Horne re
ferred to Mr. Mackenzie’s long residence in the colony, stating that he arrived in Levuka in 1914, and had been a vice-pre sident of the Chamber of Commerce there from 1921 till 1926, when he was trans ferred to Suva. He had been a member of the Suva Chamber of Commerce ever since, serving as a vice-president from 1930 to 1934.
Mr. Mackenzie has gone on long leave prior to retirement, and will henceforth reside in Sydney where he will still be connected with the company.
Mr. G. N. Harris, who has been manager of the Levuka branch of the Bank of New South Wales for a number of years, arrived in Australia on transfer by the Niagara on May 16.
