Why Tin Hat Day?
German move.
In common with every part of the British Commonwealth of nations, the Colony of Hongkong is determined to play its part in the War Effort. Not by any means the least of its efforts is represented by the Bomber Fund. When £160,000 had been sent from this Fund to the British Government, Sir Geoffrey Northcole received a telegram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies which stated: "I am most gratifled for the generous flow of contri. butions which now total over £160,000,"
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. I look forward with pride to the day when this squadron will go into service to bear witness to the generosity. of the cutpost of the Empire whose make it will bear."
To date, £166,939-10-6 has been remitted. Approximately £23,000 is still requir ed to reach the sum to commission and put into servies the Hongkong Blenheim Bomber Squadron.
While it is gratifying to know that contributions flow into the Fund almost hourly, the balance required is still considerable.
Under the Presidentship of Lady MacGregor, the ladies of the Colony are co-operating with The Hongkong War Effort Committee and organising a apecial drivo for Funds which has been named "Pin Hal Day.”~.
The H.K.W.E.C. Is busy organising the "Tin Hat Ball"— which will offor pleas-. ing entertainment and fun-and at the same time give considerable impetus to the flow of money urgently nooded. to put Into service Hongkong's Bomber Squadron.
