FIJIAN REQUEST

TEAM FOR NEW ZEALAND

Representations which have been made for a Fijian Rugby team to visit New Zealand at an early date, preferably next year, were placed before the New Zealand Rugby Union's Council at its meeting today. Mr. S. S. Dean (chairman), who had visited Fiji with the Maori team last season, detailed what had taken place in the negotiations for a Fijian visit to New Zealand and mentioned that Mr. J. Taylor had met the executive when in Wellington recently on leave from Fiji.

It was decided that the executive bring down a report setting out a suggested itinerary and giving an estimate of the cost of a tour.

Many hundreds of New Zealand admirers of film stars who have contributed to the big "fan mail" are doomed to disappointment because they omitted to place the proper postage of 2£d on their letters to the United States of America. At least 500 of these letters to film studios were returned by the last inward American mail all marked "Refused," because the intended recipients were not prepared to pay the deficiency surcharge of 3d on a letter posted in New Zealand .with a Id stamp. The New Zealand Post o_uc«. will endeavour to return all these letters to their senders and collect the deficiency charge of 3d as some compensation for a double trip across the Pacific.
