In Fiji
DUE to the Marketing Division’s in sistence that island bananas be shipped in cases, New Zealand may get fewer Fiji bananas in the next months.
At present, there is a lag of 3,000 in banana-case production in the Colony, due mainly to the fact that during recent dry months it was impossible to raft tim ber down to the mills.
Emergency measures, put into opera tion by the Fiji Government —the hauling of logs by tractor to the main waterways —has improved the situation somewhat, but the shortage of cases is likely to continue for some months.
The following inquiries are made by Mr. J. Corfield, of Samarai Papua; Has any NG man the address of Bob Selk?
E. F, Selk, a former Guinea Airways pilot, was a secretary at the YMCA in Kowloon, and before that was employed by a gold company at Bagino. And is Mrs. Emma Keppel, of Namatanai District, still alive?
