TO the changing-times depart ment in Fiji belongs the news that 30 elderly Fijian women have collected more than £BO to hire a bus to take them on a tour of Viti Levu.

They belong to the village of Bukuya, Magodro, in Nadroga- Navosa Province, and none of them has previously visited the large centres of population.

The party arrived at Suva on October 5 and arrangements for their accommodation were made by the head of their Province, Roko Tui Nadroga-Navosa. Their pro gramme in the capital included a visit to Broadcasting House.

After visiting the Nausori sugar mill and the Vatukoula goldmines, the travellers planned to go home by way of Lautoka and Nadi.
