From Our Own Correspondent
I M Suva, July 22.
N Ba, our main sugar district, two well-known old-timers died recently. „ Tl ?e first was Mr. J. Williams, Taffy to his friends, whose chief in terest of late years was in sport, and who died in the middle of a keen tennis set. Such an end for such a man, who incidentally was in his sixties, must be regarded as the most fortunate possible.
Mr. Williams was a member of the staff of Burns Philp (SS) and Co. Ltd.
Prior to joining BP’s, he had been a storekeeper and cane-grower.
The second death was that of Mr. Fred.
Clapcott (whose career is referred to elsewhere in this issue).
