ACCIDENT
STATION
FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST
Gift To Ambulance Brigade
The Haw Par Accident Station, at y San Avenue, was declared open by Mrs. A. Morris yesterday evening in the presence of a large attendance of members, friends and supporters of the St. John Ambulance Brigade.
Amongst those present were the Hon. Dr. Sht-fan, Prof. W. I. Gerrard, Messrs. Aw Boon Haw, Ip Kwai Chung, J. Raiston, A. Morris, and many others.
After speeches were made. Mr. Aw Boon Haw invited all those present to tea at Ambulanca Head- quarters.
In introducing Mr. Aw Mr. Mor- ris sald: "It does not require a word of mine to introduce to you Mr. Aw Boon Haw and Mr. Ip Kwal Chung. Mr. Aw, as you know. is a public benefactor and the act of his benefaction this afternoon la you will know, by presenting to the St. John Ambulance Brigade this Haw Par Accident Station."
MR. IP'S REPLY".
In reply to Mr. Morris, Mr. Ip Kwai Chung, on behalf of Mr. Aw Boon Kaw. sald:
Ladies and Gentlemen:-The present occasion is unique in the
history of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Hong Kong, witnessing as it does, the first Motor Ambu- lance Station to be operated by the Brigade itself.
In the past. Ambulances have been built locally, under the super- vision of our, present Director. Mr: Alfred Morris as early as the days of the erection of the Gloucester Hotel, but for lack of funds for operating same, they were loaned to Government, by whom they are still in use for the benefit of the community. The vehicles repre- sented the capital outlay of some $25,000 derived by St. John Ambu- lance Brigade from Prize Drawings | which are now no longer permit-.! ted by the Government and also from the unpopular Flag ́ Days, Thus monies raised have been re- turned to community service in another form.
HAW PAR GENEROSITY
You will probably remember that in 1932, one ambulance, the cost of which was defrayed by Mr. Eu Tong Sen, was given to the Chinese Red Cross Society in Shanghai to be used during the Sino-Japanese conflict and where it still remains doing service.
..
This Accident Station which is being opened to-day has materia- lised through the generosity of the Haw Par brothers. Mr. Aw Boon Haw and Mr. Aw Boon Par, of Tiger Balm fame, who in addition to presenting the Ambulance have guaranteed the overhead and run- ning expenses, and the salaries of the staff, consisting as it does, of a fully qualified and experienced nurse, who prior to her appoint ment with us, was matron at one of our local Hospitais, a qualified dresser and dispenser with some nine years' experience in a local Hospital, an approved driver an attendant and an amab.
....
CO-OPERATION INVITED Let me direct attention to the vital factor connected with this
work of St. John. In this station
the Haw Par Accident Station, which is given as a small personal tribute to our Director of Ambu- lance, Mr. Marris, there are no financial worries for the whole maintenance of this work is to be carried on by the Haw Par Brothers. The success of this ven- ture is dependent upon the co- operation and support received from the public. It is intended to. transport poor cases entirely free.

Special Coronation Service
The following statement formed part of the special service held by First Church of Christ Scientists, Hong Kong, last Sunday:
This Sunday has been set apart by churches of all denominations for holding special services of de- dication and intercession in con- nection with the Coronation of
Their Majesties, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
Christian Scientists rejoice in. the opportunity thus afforded them
to
unite with other Christian Churches in the British Common- weglth of Nations in an expression of love and loyalty to King George and Queen Elizabeth on this no- casion of their Coronation.
Their Majesties have already endeared themselves at home and abroad by their graciousness in public life and by their happy family association...
May our beloved Sovereign and his Queen be crowned with the dladem of joy and peace, and may the blessing of God rest upon each member of the Royal Family in their homes and in all their under- takings.
J.
On this occasion in the spirit of love and loyalty we unite with all Christian Churches in prayer for the welfare of our Sovereign. What better assurance of this' welfare can there be than the promise contained in the Scriptures: "Orest deliverance giveth he to his king: and showeth mercy to nointed" (Psalms 18: 50);
his an-
May the reign of Their Majesties be peaceful prosperous, and truly blest.
GOD SAVE THE KING
The service concluded with the singing of the lat and 3rd verses of the National Anthem.
