FOLLOWING a proposal by the Aus tralian Air Force Association that a memorial to the late Sir Charles Kingsford Smith be erected in Suva’s \lbert Park, a committee has been set up n Fiji to consider the matter.
In 1928 and before the present Govern nent buildings were built in Albert Park, Cingsford Smith landed his famous southern Cross there on the first historic rans-Pacific flight. A design for a lemorial has been prepared by Miss Mary Sdwards, the Australian artist, who has isited Fiji on a number of occasions.
Captain J, Mullins is president of the l iji committee that has been set up to onsider the matter.
