Inevitable Dog

p. 14 · Read in the full issue

THE “Fiji Times” remarks that it would not be Suva if there were not a dog in every big parade. True to tradi tion, in the United Nations Day parade held in Suva in June, there was a stray Suva dog trotting along behind a senior military officer who was taking part.

We should like to point out, however, that Fiji has no priority on parading dogs. No march or parade is ever accom plished in Sydney or Melbourne or Auck land without a guard of strange hounds of definitely mixed descent, which usually single out officers above the rank of cap tain for their special attentions.
