Says I. M. MacTAVISH
"Never a dull moment". What a fitting motto that might make for Colony football. Whatever else we might level against the game in Hongkong we certainly cannot accuse it of being short of incidents.
We seem to get our share of every thing. Rumour, counter-rumour, accusaTM tion, counter-accusation, storming officials....and of course the many strange things We see on the field of play.

QANTAS
to it's friends and customers
It is with utmost regret that we have to advise that our Qantas pilots have gone on strike and that oil Qantas services are consequently disrupted.
The issue is a simple one; the pilots, or rather their Association, demand more money and privileges than Qantas can give them without incurring losses, cutting services or increasing fares — or perhaps all
three.
We are prepared to submit the matter to the Arbitration court. The pilots, or again their Association, will not agree and have decided to pin their faith on, direct action, the results of which can- not be foreseen, could be disastrous to this Company and to the pilots themselves.
оп
Qantas has always maintained that it is only as good as the people who work for it, and Fantas pre-eminent position in the world of Internationational travel reflects the greatest credit the 6,000 employees who serve it so loyally throughout the world. None of its employees stands in higher regard within the Qantas organisation than the pilots who fly its planes.
We are still hopeful that reason will prevail, and that Qantas may soon once again offer you the facilition of its fleet of Super-G Constellations "operated by the world's best airman.”
