DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY AT HONGKONG PEOPLE
"Spending Time Eating, Gambling And Pleasure-Seeking"
“One of the main reasons for these wars that are going on in this world is 'the selfishness of the people. As scouts, it is our duty to help to keep wars out, and re- ̈ member the second part of our Scout Promise To love others at all times--" said the Rev. N. V. Halward, M.C., M.A., Commissioner of Scouts, when he addressed a large gather- ing of boy scouts at their rally held at the Diocesan Boys' School on Saturday.
Some three hundred boys, representing 18 troops were present
for the annual contest for the Prince of Wales' Banner which was won by the Hongkong Sea Scouts.

Competition was keen in the various contests which included
whipping, knotting, Kim's game, splicing, estimation, first aid tests
and Hfe line.

Mr. Halvard also spoke of the valuable assistance given by Mr. G. S. P. Heywood and the Rovers.
RASY TIME HERE
"Scouts having their arms covered with badges and looking smart, but forgetting to do their good turns, to my mind are not scouts. And for those who have no badges but are doing their daily good deeds, they are the damn good scouts" that our Chief Scout wishes them to be.”
"You, as scouts. are having a comparatively easy time here." said the Rev. Halward. "You are not suffering from any hardship, from bombing and many of the disadvantages which your brother as follow:
scouts are suffering in China and Europe.

"GOOD SCOUTS“
This Ordinance forbade, except with permission the sketching of naval or military premises in Hongkong, and stipulated heavy penalties for this offence or for the offence of having such a sketch in one's possession or of being in the vicinity of defence establishments with sketching material.
