TWICE WEEKLY
Dinner Dances At Repulse Bay
Repulse Bay Hotel was again the scene of a highly successful Dinner Dance last Saturday night. The unanimous regret amongst the large number of dancers was, that the hour of mid-right arrived seemingly all too soch.
With the fast increasing popu- larity of these weekly functions, the Management have decided to hold Dinner Dances twice weekly Wednesdays and Saturdays; start- ing from next Wednesday night and continuing throughout the summer months. Intending diners are advised to reserve early to en- sure good table ' positions.
The popular "Andetonians" Band will again be in attendance and will be happy to play all request numbers if given early notice.
Everything points to another highly successful dancing night next Wednesday at Repulse Bay

MURDER AT STANLEY
Old Woman Strangled
According to a police report, a woman is suspected of having been murdered in an unnumbered hut at Kai Slu Wan, in the Stanley District.
It appears that at 7.30 am. yes- terday, a boy named · Lo Chung was passing the hut when he look- ed in and saw the body of Chung Lan, a widow, lying on the floor. The door was locked on the out- alde. The lad reported his dis- covery to a man named Chan Hing, aged 60, of Stanley, and the two then went, with others, to the hut, the door of which they forced open. On entering, they found the body of the woman covered with equilt. Closer examination show- ed that she had been strangled with a piece of rope tied fightly round her neck. There was very few signs of disorder in the hut, but there had apparently been a struggle, as the "woman's clothes were torn.
No motive is known for the murder, and the police are carry- ing out investigations.
