Something Unusual In Entertainment
Last night at the Empire Theatre, a kind of entertain- tent was presented which is unusual in Hongkong ---- n concert by massed bands. The bands were those of the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars, directed by Mr G. Horabin, and the Hongkong Police, under Mr W. B. Foster, with a total of 65 players.

OF COLONIAL OFFICE
There is a hint in a book just out from London that someone may be thinking of changing the name of the Colonial Office.
Why? Because the designation of Colony in this iconoclastic age is said by some people to be obsolete and inapt. And its “ism" is an embarrassing, almost offensive word.
In George 111's time, Colonies | were called "Plantations and the Colonial Office, the Committee for Plantations. That word was quietly dropped when America decided
