Some of the o major islands are Vanua, L v u, Teveulni, Ova- , lau and Kadavu,.. . is approximately 8,000 miles from Toronto and is quite a distance to travel just to visit Fiji. The ideal way of visiting Fiji • is to include it in your itinerary of a tour of the South Pacific which may also include Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and Tahiti. This is what; my wife and I did last year. We spent a total of five days, not long enough to take in everything, but, long enough to sample and taste the Fijian hos- pitality and culture. ' To best understand Fiji and its people let me give you a brief his- torical outline. Western seafarers discovered the" Islands bit • by bit over a period of about 300 years. The early navigators of the Pacific were sailing their canoes vast distances across the ocean to people the islands in great migratory groups. Most au- thorities agree that the people came into the Pacific from south- east Asia via the Indonesian group. Th# Dutch% exi Tasman first. sighted . to 1643, Captain James Cook visited the islands in 1774 they Were later 'observed by tain B after the muty.

Fijian chiefs tired, of war*, later ceeded then, islands Via' Qum Victoria and Fiji became a crown, colony in 1874. It remained: ; until October lam,- 1970 when it gamed tull independence. The population of the Fiji .I lands is 524,500. This is made, ap of 225,000 Fijians, 266,000 Indians; 5,300 Europeans, 8,000 Chinese and the balance of other, Pacific. Islands. • Why should one go to Fiji? What's there to •do, and see? • Let me first of all say that you'll en- joy the magnificent scenery, ,ex- • ploring the reefs and the coral' gardens, lazing in the sun On ,th e beaches, the friendly smiling people, minglingwith the cosmo- politan, colourful crowds 'which throng through the main centres, fishing in ocean or riverrmeeting different people with different customs, trying out food which is new and different both in 00%11'- ance and taste, watching the dances and listening to the music of the islanders. , Most of all however, you'll en- joy the restfulness of Fiji.

The sou east trade winds blow from Ma to November, tempering the he and bringing the temperat, down so much that many pec add a blanket to the'bedclothes night. This is the driest period We were there in Februa when itis a little hotter, .the win are more variable and temper tures may rise into the low nin ties with high humidity. A far.e however, from the freezing tem peratures here at home and welcome respite in the middle o our cold Canadian winters. There is much to see and do i Fiji. We found Suva, the bustlin and thriving capital city of t Fiji Islands most interesting Situated on the south-east coas of Viti Levu, the largest island i the group, Suva boasts of colourful cosmopolitan 'pop* tion of 85,000, a busy seapor situated in a beautiful natural harbour; a light industrial centre and an exuberance of tropical vegetation, swaying palm trees and exotic flowers.. If you conTe to Fiji by air, you land at Nadi (pronounced Nandi) International Airport�,which lies between the towns of 'Nadi and Lautoka, on the northwest coast of Viti Levu. 'Nadi is a bustling Tit- le town with an interesting mar- ket, Hindu religious centre and many duty-free shops. Mywife of course had to visit almo$t every shop in town. Lauoka is? Fiji's second largest city -and- seaport and the centre ofl a large sugar cane growing' area. Agriculture plays an important role in the economy of Fiji with tourism now the second largest industry: I would also recommend you take a drive along the Coral Coast. The scenic 120 mile drive along the Queens Road between Nadi and Suva takes in the famous soft sandy beaches and coconut plantations which provide the sites for many of Fiji's finest re- sort hotels. et , Getting back to 'the shopping for a minute, Fiji is a paradise for the shopper. Duty has been lifted completely on a wide variety of goods including cameras and camera equipment, projectors, sound recorders, radio sets and adiograms, record players and tape recorders, television sets, watches,' telescopes, 'binoculars, ewellery, furs, electric razors, perfumes 'and much much more. One of the highlights of our stay n Fiji was the Fijian Firewalk- ng Ceremony which is per- formed by the. Sawau tribe of eqa and is held on the first and Burd Friday of every month. I uess they have to allow time for heir feet to heal between per- rmances. The audience was in- ited to participate, however veryone used their better judge- ent and gracefully and wisely eclined. If they perform during our stay in Fiji you're in for a real treat. Eating is also a delight on this r -away island. Your particular ste is catered to by Fiji's hotels hich specialize in tropical fruits d flavours. But if you plan to t out in Suva, licensed restau- nts recommended for their otic Chinese and Indian dishes e listed in tourist publications your hotel. of, th- y at ore ple at TY ds a- e- ry a f n he t n a t •w• ote5 'Whitec reside.

On Tuesday last the Wingham Kinsmen Bantams headed out for. Drayton and the boys were ready right from the start, scoring their first goal in two minutes mill more in quick succession. Dray- ton failed.to score ;until late in the third period. Final, 12-1. On Friday the boys had their eye on first place in the: standing but took a drubbing from Dur- ham. The team wasn't set for this game and hada hard time getting things together, and. Durham, which is a good hockeyclub, was in good form. Although the game ended 10-0 for Durham it was -not a true indication of the calibre of the teams andthe local manage- ment figures the boys ' can take , them on a good night, preferably the next time they meet. The team bounced back Satur- day night with a 7-4 win over the Goderich hockey club, putting , them in good shape to take on two games with Arthur this week. Bluevale Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hall and grandson, Michael of Chatham, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hall on Sunday.
