Suva. Nov. 10.
rE Suva Chamber of Commerce, at its October meeting, bewailed the fact that closing time for airmail letters to New Zealand was 4 p.m., on Mondays. This, said the Chamber, meant considerable bustling about in Suva offices on Mondays. Why could the Post Office not make it 5 p.m.?
Before the Post Office had a chance to think of an answer, the new regional office of the new New Zealand National Airways Corporation announced that the Suva-Auckland planes would in future leave Suva on Mondays instead of Tues days. Result: Letter mails close at 4 p.m. on Sundays, and the effect in Suva offices on Saturday morning is too dreadful to describe.
