A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
The question of an ambulance service came up as the subject for general discussion at the weekly tiffin of the Rotary Club on April 14. The principal speaker was the Rev. E. G. Powell on the subject "Community Service" which, in the main, was a plea for more ambulances. The Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolle (Inspector-General of Police) advanced the argument that there should be unified control. A full report of the debate is chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The annual inspection of the H.K.V.D.C. was carried out on April 9 by the G.O.C. (Major-General Sandilands, D.S.O.) on Murray Parade Ground. Much correspondence on local Volunteering was a sequel, and the subject has also been dealt with in a leading article. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carries a full report.

A full report appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
