Saving
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, May 12.
AFTER 2i months’ trial, public opinion was emphatically against daylight saving; and so the Government has withdrawn the Ordinance and we have returned to “correct” time.
One of our main troubles, in relation to daylight-saving, was native labour.
Large numbers of workers live four and five miles outside the town. They could not get accustomed to the new conditions and were always late for work. The great majority of people had no use for that extra hour of daylight in the after noon.
Mr. Christopher Attlee, who joined the British Solomon Islands Service in 1940, as a cadet officer in the District Administration, has resigned, according to a recent notice in the Western Pacific High Commission Gazette.
