Auckland, June 16.

‘•HPHERE is wonderful scope for visi tors to tour Fiji in their own cars; in fact, they should never go without them if they intend to stay more than a couple of weeks,” said the secretary of the Auckland Automobile Association, Mr. G. W. Hutchison, on his return to N.Z. by the Monterey after a visit to Suva.

It has been decided to form a branch of the Association in Fiji, he added.

Mr. Hutchison mentioned that a patrol service would be established in Fiji for the benefit of the branch, the formation of which had been urged for some time.

There were some 1,500 motor vehicles in use in the group, and there were about 300 miles of roads.

Mrs. Ivy Jackson, a refugee from Rabaul, arrived in Melbourne with her seven-months-old daughter Marie by the Tanda on June 28. She later went on to Tasmania to stay for a time with her husband’s parents. Mr. Jackson is an officer in the New Guinea Police Force.
