From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Feb. 1.
A BONUS, to offset the increased cost of living in Fiji, has been announced for civil servants and pensioners, by the Government.
It will be on the following scale:
The bonus will be payable with monthly salaries commencing from January, 1945, and it will be revised from time to time.
Mr. C. C. Beckett, who was for many years an officer of AWA and who served at various stations in the Mandated Terri tory of New Guinea, recently spent many interesting months as a Press Relations official with the Australian and American forces thrusting north-westward in the western Pacific. He saw many of General MacArthur’s most interesting operations.
Then he contracted pneumonia and, after a spell in an American hospital in New Guinea, he was sent south. He is now convalescent and making a good recovery.
