At the same time, His Excellency received a telegram from the Minister for * Aircraft Production: "Acknowledge with grateful thanks further sum of £15,- 000. This magnificent gift is being added to the sums already received and being devoted to Bomber Squadron. 1 look forward with pride to the day when this squadron will go into service to bear witness to the generosity of the outpost of the Empire whose make it will bear,"
To date, £156,939-19-6 has been remitted. Approximately £23,000 is still requir- ed to reach the sum to commission and put into service the Hougkong Blenheim Bomber Squadron.
While it is gratifying to know that contributions How into the Fund almost hourly, the balance required is still considerable.
Under the Presidentship of Lady MacGregor, the ladies of the Colony are -go-operating with The Hongkong War
Effort Committee and organising a special drive for Funds which has been named "Tin Hat Day."
