FAN LING SERVICES HUNT CLUB
The ponies raced by the H.K. Services Race Club will shortly be disposed of, and it is proposed, if there is sufficient support, to form a Fan Ling Services Hunt, Club for service personnel and their families, possibly with percentage of membership reserved for civilians. Shortage of Funds is the main disadvantage and it is therefore requested that all those interested will write to Capt, A.W.C. Pearn, R.M., 42 Commando (Lt.), Royal Marines, Fan Ling by 15th Jan. 1947 stating if they would be prepared to pay a subscription of either (a) H.E. $30.00 ur Letters should (b) II.K. $60.00 per six months,
» also state whether it is considered that H.K. $2.00 per hour for hacking and H.K. 6.00 for paper-chases is too expensive. Facilities open to members will be hacking in good riding country, paper-chases and possibly point-to-points. Membership will be very strictly limited due to the shortage of ponies. It is stressed that this club in no way intends to function in opposition to the civilan Hunt Club, but merely de abstitute in the Interim period as was the H.K. Services Race Club merely a temporary substitute for the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Haganah Asked To Cooperate
London, Jan. 8.
high Government source revealed today that Great Britain has called upon Jewish leaders for "active cooperation" in a campaign against the extremists in Palestine. The source said Jewish leaders now have the British request under consideration.
"Although we did not directly ask for it, Britain
would welcome the assistance of Haganah in a fight against terrorists," he said. "There are many ways in which Haganah could assist without actually taking up arms," he added. Although Haganah has con demned extremist activities, the organisation hitherto has retuścil active assistance to the British in tracking down members of the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang. Also, Haganah has relus- to serve as informers against terrorist gang members,
