Without a "P"

[?] Pub’s Not a Pub Without a "P"

Ihe new Club Hotel In Suva lost its (first letter of “Public Bar”) at the d of January, and there were roars anguish from the management, rhe sign had been specially made in gland, and the P could not be re iced in Fiji. (“Serves you right!” d unfeeling commentators. “You )uld not be so glamorous!”) rhe P had no apparent value. Its noval —quite a painful process—was dently a festive joke, probably in red by too much beer—beer that s purchased at the bar further ng the street, of course, lb one took it seriously except the ;el manager. Every time he looked and saw “ÜBLIC BAR” he had a t of fit. Finally, he wailed in the ce of the “Fiji Times”, and the tor wrote a sympathetic paragraph. . few hours later, the missing P 5 back. A dweller in the suburbs I found the thing, miles from the el, and, not knowing its purpose, I been using it as an ash-tray, bw the hotel manager insists that tands for Power of the Press.
