Hong Kong next week will enjoy a rare treaf-an
exhibition of sculpture and painting by a man accomplished in both fields,
Mr. S. K. Chan, a graduate of famous American and European art schools, is holding a show- ing of his work at the Hotel Cecil on March 29, 30 and 31.
In a preview of his work at his Calne Road, studio yesterday, Mr. Chan displayed a number of out- standing pieces of sculpture, notebic among which were fo- size busts of the Honourable M.M. Watson of Hong Kong and Mr. Robert Butler, U.S. Ambassador to Australia,
Asked to pick his own favourite, Mr. Chan settled on a life-size bust of Mr. Lee Sao- jek, u Hong Kong businessman. Besides being a realistic Image *f the subject, it is a study of the nature of the man himself.
Included in the exhibition will! be a very fine bas-relief study in bronze of Mr. D.J. Sloss, Vice Chancellor "of Hong Kong Uni- versity, who is leaving the Co- Tony shortly. Mr. Chan was com- missioned by group of Mr. Sinss' friends to do the work. It Is to be presented to the Uni- versity.

"I am first a sculptor, then a painter," Mr. Chan told the China Mail,
"Sculpturing takes so much time that I have little Jeft for Fainting."
Nevertheless, his collection of lls and water-colours is impres- kive.

Australia's Health Scheme Criticised
Canberra, March 23. The Labour government has decided to force Aus: tralian doctors to enter its national medical schome, which provides free drugs and half payment of doctors' focs for patients. The powerful British Medical Association charges: "The government clearly intends civil, conscrip- tion of doctors. The government's latest step is a devious and cunning way of attempting to evade the provision of the Constitution that there shall be no civil conscription."
The BMA has successfully Mr. McKenna retorted that the boycotted the scheme enacted suggestion of payment to hun- nine months ago for free dis-dreds of thousands of patients in- pensation of medicines.
