GREAT regret was expressed by all classes of the community of Lautoka, Fiji, when it became known that they were to lose the services of their most popular Resident District Medical Officer, who has also been in charge of the Lautoka Hospital, in the person of Dr. Philip Harper (says the. “Fiji Times”). He had been nine years at Lautoka and had proved himself a very
capable as well as a very willing and sympathetic medical man.
After nearly 30 years’ service with the Government, the Doctor decided to take his well-earned rest and retire on his pension. He has left for England.
Before his departure, he and his wife were “farewelled” at many public func tions, and received several valuable pre sents.
There was a farewell function at tended by the whole community in the Colonial Sugar Refining Company’s So cial Hall at Lautoka, on Sunday. No vember 27. The Doctor and his wife left for England to join their children on December 2.
Dr. Worger has taken the place of Dr. Harper.
Dr. Philip Harper, with Native Medical Assistants of the Lautoka District.
