Time For a Siesta in Fiji
p. 12 · Read in the full issue
\ NEW law in Fiji provides that public offices will be closed from noon until 2.30 p.m., instead of from 1 to 2 p.m., as at present.
It is expected that all commercial houses will follow suit, and that the extra li hours will be used generally for a siesta. Doctors say that “the longer spell will combat malua —a form of ennui peculiar to Fiji.”
It is stated that the innovation was introduced by the new governor, Sir Arthur Richards.
