The Fiji Police

The “Fiji Police Magazine”, in its black cover with design of white tuning-forks, occa sionally finds its way this far south—as has the Christmas- Wew Year number just now. It’s i couple of months late, but it node it.

The Fiji police were pretty msy boys in 1960 —what with he leftovers from the riots at he beginning of it, and the \ugar strikes towards the end of t, and the wonder is that the ?orce had time to produce a nagazine at all.

Editor of the magazine is ASP >. E. Baker, who, in this issue, [escribes how not to photo graph the take off of 707’s from he “unstick” area of Nadi's nain runway.

There are also —as well as the isual material of “shop” in erest only—other funny stories, nost of them of the shaggy dog ariety. We wonder if this can \e attributed to traditional British humour seeping through. )r is it police humour? Cost of he magazine is 2/6 Fijian.
