The improvement in the South Pacific war situation since last year had had a marked effect on civilian morale in Fiji, according to Mr and Mrs A. B. Herrold, Nadroga. who recently arrived in Auckland on holiday. Mr Herrold was formerly in practice as an, architect in Auckland, but went to Fiji more than 20 years ago for health reasons. “The civilian population is much less nervous than it was, say. a year ago. when we had one or two alarms,” Mr Herrold said. “In fact, at present the biggest worries we have to face are the high cost of living and war time shortages of various commodities. The immediate threat of war has moved into the background.”
