LADY DRIVER SUMMONED

Mr. Hodges said that a week previously his wife had parked in
the same place because of the lack of parking space. Apparently, she was informed by a Chinese police sergeant that she could park at the spot.
His Worship only cautioned de- fendant.

INTERIM DIVIDEND
In intimated at our last meeting that an interim dividend might be paid during the year, at the half year your Directors decided to dis- tribute $2 per share in this man- ner, absorbing $160,000. After al- lowing for this payment and bring- ing in the $18,321.45 brought for- ward from 1935, there is a balance
It 1 of $256,828 for distribution. now proposed to pay a final divid- end of $3 per share, which will absorb $240,000, and carry forward $16,828.
For the year 1935 we were en- abled to pay a dividend of $5.50 per share which was fifty cents more than it is now proposed to distribute, by utilising the balance in the Equalisation of Dividend Fund Account. This account is
now closed and we have the ba lance of the year's revenue only for appropriation.
The ferry service continues to run smoothly, and except to add my annual reminder to share- holders that our pler leases expire in 1949, there does not appear to be anything further that calls for comment. I therefore, propose that the report and accounts 8.3 presented be adopted and passed.

Strengthen your body against
Feverish Diseases
The chance of catching malaria and other fever- ish diseases is far greater, if the power of resist- ance is lowered. Lack of minerals in the body- usually causes this lowering. Tiredness, heart troubles, uritability and dizziness are signs that your power of resistance is below par. Prevent serious trouble by taking Kalzana tablets regularly. Kalzana replenishes the mineral content of the body and blood cells in a perfectly natural way, strengthens the whole system, and so prevents serious infectious diseases, such as malaria, skin rashes, etc. A grateful Kalzana user, Mr. E. B., writes:
.,
"I have suffered from very bad nervous headaches for 10 years and after having taken Kalzana I feel as fit as a fiddle."
