Blackout Lifted In Fiji

THE tide of war seems to be receding from Fiji. On July 23, 1943, black out faded into brownout; now, brownout has petered out and. since November 15, no lighting control is exer cised in Viti Levu and Ovalau. Normal lighting conditions may be resumed in private homes and in shops and streets.
