A SUGGESTION,
(To the Editor of the Hongkong
Telegraph.)
Sir,-Most of as at times, I suppos, get struck with ideas original, or otherwise, and of course we all think them to be workable. I merely offer this one as a suggestion. All of us, I'm sure, ara very keen to know the exact amount which "Oar Day" efforts will realise, Why not give every one a chance of guessing, say at $1 s ticket? The guess could easily be entered on the counterfoil of the sold ticket, and if some generous donor would present a prize for the winner or nearest, the whole amount realised could go to help well the Red Cross funds, The time is short, I know, but a couple of days would suffice to get all the tickets out, if the al- ready hard worked committee on ses their way clear to adopt the ideo.
Thanking you for inserting this.
