From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 5.

FIJI’S new telephone directory, issued last week, tells the Suva public to telephone to police headquarters when an ambulance is needed.

It has now been discovered that, al though not one official word has been made public, the police at Suva washed their hands of the ex-police ambulance many months ago. The ambulance prac tically fell apart with age, and when that happened the CWM Hospital was left with the only available ambulance ser vice. In the meantime, of course, people have continued to badger the police for the non-existent ambulance.
