Health Stamp Prizes Criticised In Fiji

From Our Own Correspondent

Suva, Jan. 30.

TWO prizes of £lO each have been offered by the Government of Fiji for designs for two Anti-TB Cam paign health stamps which, it is hoped, will parallel the enormous success of the long-established New Zealand health stamps.

Some possible contenders have dis missed the idea on the grounds that the “paltry reward” is no incentive to do a job requiring many hours of close work, designing ability and; artistic skill. It has been said that prizes of £5O would have made the effort worth while.
