Treatment For

A Chinese millionaire's son, who had “in- dulged in full measure his craving for heroin," was put on two years' probation by Mr Justice C. W. Reece in the Criminal Appeals Court this morning. Probation Officer, Mr Peter Liang, in his re- port, suggested treatment (for curing the drug habit in hospital) of not less than three months and subsequent rehabilitation which included a prolonged vacation in Europe.

Supply Likely
As the result of recent heavy rainfall in the Colony it is possible that Government will be able to maintain at least an eight-hour-a-day supply throughout the winter, it was stated officially this morning.
In a letter to the Editor (which appears on Page 10). the Director of Public Works, the Hon. A. Inglis comments (in part) on Saturday's leader;
"I can promise that the hours (for the coming winter) will be reasonably good. Even without benefit of Gloria's rains and the respite in the start of rationing thus caused, we had reckoned that an eight-hours a day supply, in two equal morning and evening supply, periods of four hours each, would be possible right throughout the winter.
"Obviously these supply hours are now more than ever a practical proposition and, indeed, we may even find that they can be improved." This is an extract from Mr Inglis's letter. Now
