CHANGES have been made in those Fiji Defence Regulations which deal with the sale of liquor.

Hotels in the Colony may now sell alcoholic liquor by the bottle except to members of the armed forces. During the past few years it has been possible to buy liquor from hotels only by the glass. This restriction still applies to men in the armed forces.

In many parts of the Colony the hotel hours have reverted to the pre-war 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Under the amending regulations made last week all hotels in the Colony except those within a 15-mile radius of the Suva Post Office, that is, in Suva and in the Nausori area, will keep the old hours. In Suva and at Nausori the hours still remain at 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
