Sampan Capsizes
Five Europeans were thrown into the harbour yesterday when a shm-- pan capsized about 50 feet from Queen's Pler about 245 p.m. They were Mr. D. Taylor, of the R. A. F. Kai Tak, and four friends, three of whom were women.
The party were travelling out to a yacht at the time of the incident, which was caused when the party suddenly moved to one side. They all swam ashore.
Kwok Sal, sampan, mistress, her husband and two chlidren, were rescued by nearby sampons, but her mother, Wong Shi, 19, was sent to the Queen Mary hospital suffering from the effects of immersion,

Broadcasting from the British Broadcasting Corp. in January, this great Food Authority said:
"There is a vitamin called B, which
is believed to be of special value in keeping the digestive tract and nervous * system healthy. Some food products are advertised and sold at a high price because they are rich in B1.
"Well, there is more of this vitamin in oatmeal than in almost any other common food.
"Porridge and milk are better for you than bacon and eggs.They are farcheaper,”
And here's why delicious QUAKER OATS
is so good for you:
{"VITAMIN D, is absolutely essential to healthy life; without it, you develop head- aches, Irritability,'nerviness,'lose weight and strength.
"Quaker Oats is a rich and economical source of Thiamin (Vitamin B1)-vital to our exin-
ence.
"Quaker Oats contains every vital health element. It is doubly. aourishing, for in addition to Vitamin B, it is also rich in mus- cle-building protein, with valu. able phosphorus and iron,
"Quaker Oats is a delicions creamy breakfast food that every. one can buy. There's nothing is cheap so good, nothing as good
so cheap, ss Quaker Oats."
Also you can be sure that Quaker Oats is always fresh-- and always clean. It reaches you hermetically sealed, as fresh as it left the mill,
