It is significant that Mr. Lowehas chosen to lay the emphasisof his letters on "principles"which are not questioned insteadof "customs" which I maintainchanges with each generation.

In any event, were I asked toselect the "theologist of the year,"I would cast my vote for Mr. J.A. Lowe of Port Antonio. Afterall, Mr. Lowe has definitely laiddown some amazingly new ideas.

CHRISTIAN MODESTY

THE EDITOR, Sir:-Thanks for publishing my letter

on Beauty Contest in your last

issue, but somehow you chose

to curtail its contents. I wouldhave allowed the matter to restthere with the exception thatyou didn't permit me to pointout the sections in Holy Scripturewhich laid down the principlesof Christian modesty for mycritics and your readers; all all,Mr. Hue asked me to do so.

I crave your indulgence there­fore, to inform them to readGalatians V, 19-23; also 1stTimothy II, 9, and PhillipiansIV,5.

To the Galatians, st. Paulwrote in part, "Now the works ofthe fle:sh are manifest: whichare fornication, uncleanness, im­modesty and such like. But thefruit of the spirit is charity, faith,modesty. Against such there isno law." To the Phillipian women,he wrote, '''Let your modesty beknown to all men."

and complaints so that the com­

mittee would be able to havethem compiled and presented toMr. Wang Yen, goodwill ambass­ador.

Last but not least, we shouldbe proud of this, for we can come

out in the front and show thecowards who sit on the fence thatwe have a government that isrecognised by the free world andthe U.N.

TO SUCCESSMAN OF THE YEAR

THE EDITOR, Sir:-The more I read of Mr. J. A.

Lowe's letters, the more I am

convinced that he should adoptthe wise course of remainingsilent at times when he hasnothing to say. In his last letter,he quotes from the Confuciananalects and condemns BeautyContest as immodest. Mr. Lowefurther states that I regard"right principles as morbid andancient." Of c 0 u r s e, nothingcould be farther from the truth.

Now, Mr. Lowe, I would firstlike you to note the differencebetween "customs" and "prin­ciples." I never did condemn"principles." As a matter of fact,I will go further to agree that"principles" are sometimes con­

stant, but I do maintain that"customs" change with the marchof time. .And it is on the basis of"customs" that we must decidewhether beauty contests are im­modest.

In days gone by, it would beconsidered immodest if a ladydisplays as much as her ankle.Today, all that has changed. Thegirl in shorts and bathing suitwhich reveals her shapely legsare familiar sights on the beach.Women who once kept their facehidden behind veils are no longerwith us, and the custom remainsonly in the remotest parts ofthe globe. So Mr. Lowe, as youcan see, the march of time hasshed many of the customs our

ancestors once held dear.Were we to adhere to Mr.

THE EDITOR, Sir:-

May I take this medium tocongratulate the Chairman andorganizers of the C.A.C. Fair forthe splendid show, and I thinkmany of your readers would en­

dorse this.

But there was one thing thatI noticed at the PICTORIAL dis­play of Free China's achieve­ments stand, a lot of folks en­

joyed it, myself included, andmany did not. Well, there couldnever be a thing in this worldthat could suit everybody's taste,and this we all know, for in thisfree world of ours, we have thechoice of like and dislike - thedifference bet wee n FREEDOMand SLAVERY.

_i.rialTHE MIDDLE .�T

OlllinOus rumbles are -coming out_�.f the Middle East and the

threat of a major war in.this area appears to be mounting. Indeedit is difficult to see how this may be avoi�ed:

Sovf:ef Russia is reported to be indulging In a strenuous arms

bui:ln-up in Syria where it is- quite apparent that communist con­trol of the Army is being extended. Now, under Syrian pressure,,Jordan has announced tliat it intends to withdraw from the Bag­:dad Pact which unites Turkey, Pakistan, Iraq, <!ordan and Britain.

,

It is now clear for everyone to see that Britain and Francewere correct when they stated that direct Russian intervention in

the Middle East was being effected and that it was absolutely.

necessary for a limited military action in order to forestall a

general conflict.The huge disappointment of almost tragic massiveness has

'been the reaction of the United states. American international

'"politics during the past 50 years has been characterised by blind­

mess and late intervention. It is difficult not to think, painful.though this may be, that the Middle East crisis could only affectthe American economy in a beneficial way. It has been said that·

much capital was ,made out of Middle East developments in the

recent Presidential Elections. Let us not dwell on this very un­

pleasant theory.The root of the disease is undoubtedly Nasser, who with Soviet

assistance has been trying to foment an aggressive Arab im­

perialism from as far west as Morocco.

Nehru of India can no longer be regarded as a friend of theDemocracies in the sense that he is not with the Democracies

: and m1!st of necessity, therefore, be regarded as giving sustenanceto the Coulmunists.

For years and years British diplomacy has been a successionof retreats, of poor comprorntsss, and now that a strong stand'has been taken we are faced with the self-righteousness of the

left-wingers and the mock-horror of the men who have lost their

: manhood. If fault can be found, let us say that it was that

: Britain and France ceased their military action two days too soon.

It can be said that the reaction of the United States and Canadagave Nasser his chance to continue with his arrogance. There is

: no blame to the ordinary Egyptian but if peace is to come to the

i Middle East it seems to us that Nasser must be ruthlessly destroyed.

Public opinion after the first rush of events is beginning toI veer around to vindicate Sir Anthony Eden's actions. The United'Nations has once again proved its inability to act with decisivenessin a difficult situation. If Korea suited the United States, the'Middle East did not, and dollar diplomacy was sufficiently strongto hog-tie this organisation.

.Yet we are sure that the danger that was clearly seen by Sir

Antho�y Eden is beginning to be realised but in the meantimewe of' the British Commonwealth of Nations must prepare our­

selves to' go: into the vanguard and. fight for peace until in its own

slow time the United states can rid itself of its politics and its

impractical idealism to come to the aid of men who would be freeof Communists and Dictators.

Diplomacy is a specialised business and we have known SirAnthony Eden and what he stands for, for many a year. AsDiplomats come there are none better; as honest men come thereare none more honest. Let us trust him and support him in thedifficult decisions that he has to make. Let us close ranks andif we must die let us die with our honour intact.

1 WONDER IF ..THE :HISTORY

OF LAW does not show thatfrom time to time there has

been a dangerous emphasis on

either the rights of the in­dividual man or on the import­ance of human society. It has.been rather difficult at times tofind the proper balance betweenman and society.

During the 19th century the

emphasis was on the rights ofthe individual. We can see tt

was wrong to allow the strong to.orush the weak. Rights have

meaning for all men and not

only for those who have the

power to enforce them.

TODAY WE ARE STRIVING

desperately to avoid the dangerof state absolutism. When thestate becomes too powerful itdefeats its own purpose: the

helping of its members to helpthemselves. st. Tliomas Aquinasindicated the middle path forus.

"Every creature h e Ion g s

naturally to God. Hence both

angels and men love God beforethemselves and with a greaterlove. If they love' themselveamore than God, their love is

perverse."

IN O'NIER W oa D S, the

strongest tendency in the humansoul is to love God, not to love.self or the state. This is not a

revclutionary teaching. But itdoes throw light on one import­ant truth: the goal of all humanactivity is the possession of God.Our professional and com­

mercial relationships with one

another are no exception. Civil

NlNETEENTH-C E N T U R YLIBERALISM did not fail be­cause it in.sisted on the sacredcharacter of the rights of theindividual. If we ask ourselveshonestly why it did fail, we mustanswer that it did not affordsufficient safeguard against the

corrupting force of human sel­fishness.

Again if we ask ourselves whywe fear the soclaltstic tend­encies of modern governments,we must answer that we fearthem because the benevolentstate tends to become a patern-alistic state and eventually a

despotic state. Human selfish­ness and the totalitarian stateare the enemies which the law,in co-operation with all otherconstructive forces of human

society, must strive to keepunder control.

THESE H 0 S TIL E IN­FLuENcEs can be controlled byplacing God above them both.

Only when men's lives are

governed by reverence for God'slaw, and when civil authorityrecognises God as the source ofits power, will we have assur­

SlX' DECEMBER 1, 195'

CHAPTER VRandy Phillips, a whisky-soaked misfit, is appointed

sheriff of Palair, Texas, at the whim of Terry Drake,dictator in the town. Randy's told to uiear his badge andfollow orders. In the course of events, Randy becomes ac­

quainted with a number of persons dedicated to riddingPalair of Drake and his ilk, among them Jane Bellows,whose brother was murdered by Drake's right-hand man.

Randy is given to reflection on the man he once was andhow he has slipped. When news of another murder reaches

him, he decided on a course of action •..

IT WAS dark when Randy Phillipsrode into Palair. He left his horseat the livery stable. Ole Petersen

stepped from the shadow of a stalland came over to him."Hi, Sheriff," he said mildly."Trouble in town today, I hear,"

Randy said.Ole shrugged big, patient shoulders.

"Depends on what you cal1 trouble.There was a shooting, and Mize Ben­son from the Bar X got killed.""Did you see it?""Yes, I guess I did," Ole said

cautiously. He patted the neck of

Randy's horse gently. "Gave the oldfellow a workout today, didn't you?"

"Was Mize shot in the back?""I don't rightly know," Ole said.The night was still except for the

sounds of music and laughter thatdrifted along the street from Drake'ssaloon. A pale moon was shililingbehind Summit Mountain."I thought you said you saw it,"

Randy said.Ole shrugged again and lifted the

reins of the horse. "Things like thathappen mighty fast. Hard to say after­ward just what did happen.""I see." Randy smiled bitterly. "You

going to the meeting?""What meeting?""Goodnight, Ole."Randy walked out into the street.

Ole wasn't trusting him an inch. Andwhy should he? This was a time ofcrisis in the life of a town, a timewhen tmsting the wrong person couldcost your life.

Randy stood for a [moment in frontof the livery stable, glanced along thestreet. It was empty, the dust shiningin the moonlight. Si Persons' store was

closed, and the barber shop was dark.

Only Drake's saloon provided colourand noise in this significant night.

Randy walked along the board side­walk to the jailhouse, keeping his tallbody in. the shadows. Inside the jail,he lit the lamp, and saw a revolverand cartridge belt on his desk. Thegun was well-worn and well-oiled,and the leather of the belt gleamedblackly in the soft glow of the lamp.The cartridge loops were filled withbluntnosed rounds, and the gun was

loaded. There was a piece of paperbeside it wtth writing on it. He pickedit up and read: "Thought you mightwant this now." It was signed, "Si".

RANDYcrushed the paper into a ball

and tossed it into a corner of theroom. He stood looking down at

the gun for a moment or- so, thenwalked into the rear shack andstretched out on his bUlilk.He had to face it now. Men had

been murdered, and the killers drankand laughed about it not a hundredyards from him in Drake's saloon. Andgood people in the town, the decentcitizens, were waiting for him to act.

He wore the badge of the law, and

they wanted the law to act. Thesemen and their wives did not want

vigilantes to have to be formed to dealwith Drake. Once vigilantes rose, theycould be as bad as Drake was. These

people still had faith in the law. Theirfaith in the law had risen above their

knowledge of him, of how he had be­come the agent of the law. Theyexpected him to rise above himself. Ifhe let them down . . .

The lamp light from the front room

of the jail threw shadows across thewalls and ceiling, and there was no

sound but the distant revelry fromDrake's saloon.Randy fought his fight with himself

in that darkness and silence. Time

went by as he lay there, forcing hismind back to other events in his 11£e,in an attempt to loose the bonds thatshackled him. Finally, he stood up andwalked slowly into the other room

and stared at the gun lyiI�g on hisdesk. His forehead was beaded withperspiration, and his shirt was, dampon his back. He wet his lips andrubbed his hands together to driveaway the cold stiffness.Then, with his face mask-like and

white, he picked up the gun and beltand returned to the other room. Stand­

ing there, he started to buckle the gunabout his Hat waist, but his handswere thick and clumsy, and he cursed

silently as tile buckle slipped from hisfingers.

He tried again, breathing hardernow, every muscle straining with th€lintensity of his effort. But it was

futile. With a groan he let the gum

drop to the floor.

HE heard a sound in the doorway.Turning, he saw [ane Bellowsstanding there. The flickering lamp

light touched the tears on her cheeks."Randy, what are you fighting?"

she whispered,He sank onto the cot and rubbed

!�i� forehead. ':�o away," he muttered.I m no good."I don't believe that.""It's true. Please go away!"She crossed the room and sat be­

side him. "You can'): make me go,"she said. She put her arm about hisshoulder and pulled him close to her:"You need me, and 1 need you. Put

your head on my shoulder."He felt th€ warm, slender strength

of her body close to his. Wearily, heput his head against her breast, andshe stroked his temples with the tipsof her fingers. He made a sound deepin his throat."Go ahead and cry if you want,"

she murmured.For the first time in so long that it

seemed infinite, Randy felt somethinglike release. He held her tightly andshe rubbed his forehead and murmuredquietly to him i,m the darkness.

Then he began to talk, to feel a vast

relief as he did so.

"It wasn't the war. It was afterward.1 was twenty-one when it started. I

was a brevet colonel commanding a

battalion at twenty-three. I was a goodsoldier. But the war went on and on,like a nightmare, and I got too go�dat killing. Afterward, I kept at It,home in Virginia. The war never endedfor me. I kept fighting and killing.There was a girl there who'd waitedfor me. I called out her brother one

night when I was too drunk to knowwhao was happening. We met on thelawn of her home."

He was silent then for a long time.

She touched his cheek gently."You killed him?" she said."No, I killed her," Randy said in a

voice of pain, and heard her gasp."She ran out to stop us, and I saw

her white. dress in the night, and her

long hair falling down her back, butI shot anyway. She died in my arms,

calling for her brother."There was an electrical silence be­

fore ��e murmured, "Now I under­stand.

"1 don't deserve sympathy. That

night, I threw my guns away and

begged the law to hang me. But theydidn't. I left home then and started

drinking.""You're just afraid of yourself,

aren't you?" Jane said. "Not of other

people.""I can't lift a gun anymore.""That doesn't matter," she said

fiercely. "Forget about Mize tonight.You'll be ready to do something about

,

it some day. Don't rush it, Randy. Youwere wounded, that's all. You've gotto get well before you can do any­

thing.""All right, Jane," he said slowly."I'm goi,�g over to Si's now, Will

yo�� ,come? "

III meet you there."All right, Randy." She stooped

swiftly and kissed him, And then shehurried from the room.

Randy sank on his bunk and staredat the ceiling. This was the first time

he had talked about that warm nif!:htin Virginia since facing the coroner's

jury. He closed his eyes and clenchedhis fists in pain. Her name had beenAmanda. A slim, lively girl, with prettyhair. That was all he rememberedabout her now.

A heavy pair of boots sounded inthe next room. A voice

_called, "Hey

Sheriff, where are you?"Randy got off the cot and went out.

One of Drake's men was there, a raw­

boned man with skin the shade of 'oldleather, and blood-shot eyes. His name

was Saul."Drake wants to see you," he said."What about?""What do you care?" Saul said.

"Git over" there. He'll tell you whathe. wants."I'll .get my hat."Randy returned to his sleeping room

and picked up his hat. He looked atthe gun on the floor for a moment,and then with a weary shake of hishead, he went out and joined Saul.

DRAKE was in his office at the rear

of the saloon. He sat with his feeton the desk, a scowl on his strong,

heavy face. Bart was with him, alongwith several. other men. The air was

heavy with smoke.

Si had left him a message.

"Glad you could make it, Sheriff,"Drake said sardonically. "Meet yourdeputies."Randy glanced about without under-­

standing. "What's up?""What do you know about Si

Persons and some of the other worthy­citizens having a little meeting to-­

night?" Drake said quietly.Randy fought down a spasm of

nervousness. He managed to shake his,head. "Nothing," he said."Real dumb, eh?""He's been riding too much lately,"

Bart said lazily."What about the meeting?" Randy

asked.Drake said mildly: "I'll tell you .. Si,

Persons has the idea that I'm a draw­back to this fair town. He wants to

get rid of me and my boys.""We ain't nice enough for 'em,"

Bart threw in, grinning."Si is having a meeting at his.

house," Drake said, cutting off Bart's.smile with an irritable glanGe. "JedKilian, Ole Peterson, and David

Ferguson will be there. They're allblue-nosed busy-bodies. Well, Randy,you're going to that meeting andarrest every damn last one of them.

They're trying to set I.q> a vigilantecommittee, and that's against the law.And you're the law."

"We're all the law," Bart said,grinning again. "Randy made us

deputies. And we don't like vigilantes."Randy was stunned. He grasped

desperately for words that might moveDrake. "It'd be illegal, going therewithout warrants," was the first thin�he thought of to say. "They haven tdone anything yet. But this could drivethem to do something.""Don't go having a £it," Drake said.

"You just have to go over with the

boys. They'll take care of the trouble,"

Randy glanced at Bart's thin, coldly­smiling face, and at Drake, who was

regarding him impassively, and he felthis new strength tremble."I need a drink," he muttered.

"Sure you 00," Drake said, shovinga bottle and glass l:)cross th€ scarredtable top. "Help yourself." He flasheda wink at Bart. "You can't crack downon a passel of vigilantes without a

httle inner support.""Vhisky can have a strange effect on

a man of Randy's temperament. Whichway will he tum when he makes his.c r It cia l decision tomorrow? TheSheriff Wouldn't Shoot concludes ill>11ext issue.

Kay Fung Wins Miss Chinese Jamaica CrownLovely Kay Fung carried off the Miss Chinese-Jamaica crown �nSunday night, November 18, at the Chinese Athletic Club annual Fair.

A crowd of over four thousand cheered as the 17-year-old beauty was

crowned by last year's runner-up, Barbara Chang.Right from the beginning of the the Henriques Brothers of King-.

contest when the girls paraded ston Industrial Garage.before the judges and the crowd.Kay received enthusiastic roundsof applause and she was definitelythe favourite of the audience. Anhour later, judges, Mrs. DavidMaynard, Messrs. Abe Issa, PatChung, Pat Simmonds and Mrs.Derrick Franklin, gave her thenod. She thus becomes the third"Miss Chinese-Jamaica".

Chinese Benevolent Society may be needed again

TO SERVEFfUIE Chinese Benevolent Society1 has not outlived but it has

outdone its usefulness. This isso because in the absence of a

Chinese Consulate in Jamaica,the Chinese Benevolent Societyremains predominantly an organ­isation recognised by Governmentas the only representative of theChinese in the island.

No one should forget the won­

derful work it has done for our

ancestors, some of whom now liesilent at the Waltham Park Road

Cemetery. It may be neededagain to serve our generation and

generations to come. However, ithas outdone itself within the lastdecade by allowing the disinte­

gration of its parent body intoa eye r a I separate organisationssuch as the Chinese Retailers'

Association, Wholesalers' Associa­

tton, Bakers' Association, etc.In as much as members are the

component of any organisation,another question that may beasked 1s whether our peoplethemselves have not failed lately.

The Society is the only organi­sation that represents aU Chinese,irrespective of whether they are

OUR GENERAlil,ONfinancial members or not. The

paying members give it money to

defray the expenses of its upkeepand are given the rights to voteits Executive body, but others,while not having the election

privileges, can derive benefitsfrom the Society; therefore, it is

unique in its stature.

With the advent of the Com­munist controj over China, the

question of internal harmonyamong our people bas becomeworse. Tbey cannot seem torealise that whatever is the posi­tion in distant China, they can­

not life one finger to rectifythe situation. If there is in­ternal strife in China, they willhave it here too. Certa.inly, alland sundry are entitled to his or

her opinion as to their convictionof wpatever party should rule

China, but why should anyone

get so personal over a publicmatter? This bad feeling hasdone more than any other con­

tingency in des t roy i n g theChinese Benevolent Society's pres­tige.

The efficiency of the ChineseBenevolent Society can be im­

proved only when our people can.

If we have an ounce of prideleft as Chinese, the body-politicof the Chinese community has toundergo some changes withoutany further procrastination, un­

happen again. If it does, soon

there will not be any need of theChinese Benevolent Society.

CHI'NESE ,B£NEVOLENT SOCIETY REPLIES

Flagship of the

I range

The Editor, Sir,

Iam directed to reply to an

article on the Chinese PublicSchool by Mrs. Constance ChinYee and a letter from the pen ofMr, Y. Chung, seeking informa­tion on the reward of the Chang'smurder Case, Assisting with thePrincess Alice Fund and theChinese Poor House.At the outset, it is necessary

for me to p,?int out that the pre­sent ExecutIve of the Associationis

.

an Interim Committee ap­pointed by Mr. Rupert Chinseewho was empowered by a GeneralMeeting of the Association to doso until such time as a new Com­mittee could be elected in thenormal way. The term of office'of this Interim Committee headedby Mr. C. C. Phang, began on the15th of April of this year and

expires in December of this year,a period of over seven months.The Committe€l has, however

inherited all the unfinished busi�ness of the previous Admlnistra­tion. Part of my reply is there­fore to point out that the pro­blems presented by Mrs. Con­stance Chin Yee and Mr. Chungcannot be imputed to the presentExecutive which has done suchan �xcellent job in the past fewmonths that at the Annual Gen­eral Meeting held on the 27th ofOctober, nearly all the membersof the Interim Committee includ­ing Mr. Phang, were elected toserve another year.As regards the reward for the

Chang's murder; which was of-

fered in 1954, the Committee hascollected the sum of TWO HUN­DRED AND FIFTY NINE POUNDStowards it and hopes to completethe fund by year's end. With re­

gard to the Poor House the lateMr. Alexander Tai Ten Queedonated the sum of FIVE HUN­DRED POU�DS toward repairsand renovation of the buildingsand plans are afoot for raisingsupplementary fund to make itpossible to do this.I might add that the Executive

is gratified at the interest dis­played in this Institution bythinking members of the com­

munity. ThUl augurs well for thec�ming year when definite stepswlll be taken to carry out plansmade by the previous adminis­tration.With reference to the Princess

Alice Fund, both Mr. SidneyChang and Mr. Hubert Tai TenQuee were directly appointed bythe y.C.W.I., while Mr. Georgechar Chong who was at the timePresident of the Association was

appoirl:ted Chairman by a specialcemmittee to take part in thisworthy cause. 'I'his Committeehas not up to now been dissolvedas far as our records show andwe expect some action fro� theCommittee in the coming year.

FJUlE problem of the School is1 that of obtaining sufficientnumber (i)f competent personswilling to serve as the Board ofDirectors. Repeated efforts havebeen made to do this and it has

"s·

not been possible to find these'to take over from the previousBoar� which has done a stupen­dous Job under the Chairmanshipof Mr. Stephen Yap for over fouryears. The Board resigned on

June 30, 1956, and this is alsoanother of the inherited problemsof the previous administration.

While I appreciate Mrs. Chin

Ye.e's disappointment at the waythIngs are going, it is not fair toquestion the usefulness of theAssociation because of the diffi­

cu�ties artsing. Moreover, I do notthink she could be more disap­pointed than the present Execu­tive of the Association which hastried so hard to find a body ofpersons willing and able to carryon the good work of the School.The Executive has openly admit­ted its inability to manage theSchOol competently because of thework with which it is now facedas the result of unfinished worksaccumulated over the years.

The fads are briefly that at theGeneral Meeting held on the 27thof October, a Committee was ap­pointed to manage the Schooi un­til the end of the year. This oom­mittee consists of Messr;s. James

Chung, Alfred Kong, Willie LynAh Woo, Phillip Chong, (all mem­bers of the parent-Teacher As­sociation); Chin Chun Yee, FredHugh Sam and James Williams.

They neld a meeting subse­quent to their appointment andmembers of the Parent-TeacherAssociation in the Committeesuggested that Parents are will­ing to form a new Board of Direc­tors to carryon the School. TheCommittee then decided that theSociety should empower the Par­ent-Teacher Association to forma new Board for the ensuingterm.

They wrote to the Associationto this effect and it was decidedat a meeting of the Executive toempower the Parent-Teacher As­sociatlon to go ahead. The ideaof asking the Farent-Teacher As­sociation did not emanate or

originate from the Chinese Bene­

volent. Society. This is, of course,no crime, and personally I be­lieve it would have served an ex­

cellent purpose if it had reallymaterialised.

Ali of this i.s very, very, regret­table, but an Association such as

tI:e Chinese Benevolent SocietyWIll be useful in proportion to thewillingness of competent people.The Association cannot be

blamed, if, despite its efforts, per­fectly capable members of thecommunity and of the Parent­Teacher Association are not will­ing to cooperate.

It is heartening, however, to see

the great public interest displayedin the School, even if mainlycritical, and we are sincerely do­ing our utmost to surmount theobstacles. The_ main difficultyboils down to getting the neces­

sary funds, somewhere in thevicinity of F IV E THOUSANDPOUNDS a year. All we need is a

Board wining to make the effortto raise over FOUR THOUSAND

out of this annually. It is not assimple as it seems and it wouldappear that the mere mention ofthe amount scares away peoplewho would ordinarily be mostwilling to serve.

The School has at present 180students with nine teachers. Aportion of the students pay feesamounting to £900 annually, butoverall expenses is near to £5,000.

THE present Executive of the

Association ever since its in­

ception, has been faced with a

large number of inherited pro­blems, including the Chinese Pub­lic News, but I am glad to reportthat substantial progress hadbeen made, thanks to the :loyalmembers of the community whohave contributed over 'FOURTHOUSAND pounds so far to there-fencing or the Chinese ceme­

t�ry which has been a standingdisgrace for quite some time. Ithas also collected in membershipdues over fourteen hundredpounds, the highest in manyyears.

This represents a membershipof over eighteen hundred. Indi­cations are that the confidenceof the community in the Associa­tion has grown by leaps andbounds during the past eightmonths but problems cannot besolved overnight. It will taketime and I am sure your corres­

pondents will agree that seven or

Glight months is hardly adequateto settle even the outstandingitems unfinished by the pastthree administrations.

It is our hope that more and

m.ore of our younger generationWIll show an interest in mattersaffecting the community as yourtwo correspondents have doneparticularly by writing to th�press. For, by this means, theinterest of the majority can be&ffectively Iocussed on these vitalproblems, and thus enable us toenlist the support and unselfishservices of the many able mem=

b.ers among the younger genera­tion.

My Executive lOOKS forward toincreasing membership of the

�ounger generation in the com­

mg year and trusts that the more

competent and better off mem­

bers will, in their concern for thepoor and sick and the little child­ren, come forward in large num­

bers to assist. For this we needthe. energy of the young, the ex­perrence of the more mature andthe financial support of all menof goodwill.

Yours truly,THE CHINE�E BENEVOLENT

Dear Miss Mui Lee,- Mine is an etiquette problem.I find that when I am introd1lce4to people, at a party or such

. function. I often. do not catchtheir names the first time'. Is itpermissable to 'ask your. host' orhostess to repeat the name of theperson to whom you are beingintroduced?

B.N.Dear B.N.,It is quite permissable to ask

Ule host or hostess to repeat thename of the person to whom youare being introduced and muchmore sensible than keeping silent,and perhaps being embarrassedlater when the same personspeaks to you using your name

ana you ate then unable to Saytheirs. Many people are shy of

asking for the nam.e to be re­

peated but it is quite polite and

very wise.

Remember to write in your

problems, Readers, I'll always beglad to answer them in your
