Master E Danenberg, the six-year-old pianist, gave a very successful Recital in Macao last Sunday in the presence of H.E the Governor of Macao and Madame Rodrigues.
According to a Japanese paper pub- libed in Seoul, 18,322 Koreans returned home from Japan up to the end of Janu- ary, since the great earthquake in September last. Of the total, 43,040 were labourers and 2165 students.
The CHAIRMAN said that a reply had been received from the Colonial Secretary to the effect that Dr. Severn had arrived in the Colony, but the exigencies of the service did not permit him taking up his duties as Assistant Medical Officer of
Health at present,
Mr. Tso then urged that the A.MH should be required to take up his duties as soon as possible, as his services were most urgently required by the Depart-
inent.
The CHAIRMAN agreed, and added that Dr. Severn would take up his position as soon as it was possible.

Dr. PEARCE (Medical Officer of Health) said that the work of the Assistant: Medical Officer of Health was specialised, and it would take a new man several months before he could learn the procedure and law. It would be many months before such a man could really do much practical work In view of the fact that he (Dr. Pearce) would not be here much longer, he agreed that the sooner the new A.M.O.E. could commence his duties the better.
Aa application for an offensive trade licenee (for feather drying) was rejected, No other business of public interest was transacted.
