From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, November 1.

THE Fiji Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ended its second year with a credit balance of £471, due largely to a Government grant of £5OO. With its headquarters at Lautoka the society has extended its activities throughout northern and western Viti Levu and as far afield as Labasa. It is still trying to get a branch started at Suva.

The annual report by the secretary, Mrs. D. Kirk, founder and organiser of the society in the Colony, shows a record of valuable educational work and prac tical achievement. An animal-clinic has been operating at Lautoka for a year and a first-aid and mobile lethal unit is doing useful work.
