Suva, Feb. 26.

FULL military honours were accorded at the funeral on February 22 of Sergeant-Major Vilisi Nadaku, of the Fiji Police who died at Tamavua Hospital from tuberculosis.

He was only 36 and had a notable career as a policeman, as a soldier (he served in the Fiji Military Forces from 1942 to 1946, including the Solomon Islands campaign) and as a Rugby player and referee.

He was a member of Fiji’s Victory Con tingent in London in 1946.

Mr. R. A. McFarlane is a new recruit for the Coral Sea Union Mission of the Australasian Union Conference of Seventh Day Adventists. He left Sydney for Lae, New Guinea, during March. He has considerable experience in the SDA’s publishing department in various Aus tralian States, but this is his first venture into the Mission Field. Another SDA worker, Mr, R. Aveling, left Sydney this month for Suva, Fiji, to take up a new appointment with the Central Pacific Union Mission.
