SUVA, March 22.
FIJI— particularly Viti Levu—has been having its wettest wet season for many years.
In the north-western areas of Viti Levu heavy falls of rain have frequently flooded the roads and the damage thus caused has held up traffic on the Ba-Nanukuloa sec tion of the coastal route.
Lieutenant R. J. Booker, DCM, received his discharge in Sydney recentlv, and he immediately left for Manus, to join Mr.
