New Conditions Issued

CONDITIONS of entry for the British Colonial Service were announced in London a few weeks ago. The im mediate plan is to facilitate the employ ment of men and women who have been serving in the armed forces.

Age limitations have been modified, therefore, and provision has been made for counting war service, to some extent, in fixing initial salaries.

Two age limits have been fixed. For the Colonial Administrative Service, the Audit Service, Customs Service, and Sur vey Service, candidates must have been born on or after January 1, 1910.

For the Colonial Agricultural, Educa tion, Engineering, Forest, Legal, Medical, and Veterinary Services, and for Labour and Social Welfare appointments, candi dates must have been born on or after January 1, 1905.

Further details of qualifications re quired and general conditions of ser vice are available at the Colonial Secre tary’s Office, Suva.
