CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that saves you. the trouble of writing Home.

Sufficient time has elapsed to think about the interchange of gifts during the Festive Season. Has it ever struck you that there are some presents which will be appreciated, especially in other parts of the world? You are strongly recommended to hand in an address to the "Overland China Mail" - the only illustrated weekly news budget published in Hong Kong - for numbers to be sent for any period you like. The senders are assured of the approbation of those receiving the "Overland."

For years the "Overland," full of informative articles, "local" and "China" news, and topical pictures (supplied by the pioneer service in the Colony), has served as a strong link between Hong Kong and people elsewhere.

Concurrent with the simultaneous exposure of Communist activities in Hong Kong and in Canton, a special article has heen included in the "Overland" dealing with the "Christian General," who is alleged in some quarters to be a Red still. The article also explains how Britain and other countries view the Soviet policy towards China, a policy portending dire results to the world if it were allowed to have effect.

RESIDENTS BACK FROM LEAVE

Many residents have just returned to Hong Kong after holidays at Home and elsewhere. For the first few days one's conscience can be calmed by thoughts that time is needed to unpack and to get settled down again. Then that letter must go.

What you

have to say for yourself no one else can write for you; but if you want to case anxiety as to what is hap pening out here that is a task that the "Overland China Mail" . will do for you as it has invariably done in the past.

How many times were you "stumped when somebody asked you about conditions in China? Show that you are at least thoughtful by sending them a copy of the "Overland." That will tell them all they want to know.

READY NOW.

Demand Exceeds Supply

The supplies sent to Yarmouth' were very quickly sold out, and the demand for this beer labelled:--- "Manufactured only from British barley" was soon more than the brewery could supply. In the coun- tryside the workers are delighted with it. Some of the older ones have talked about the hope of once more getting beer such as used to get in their youth. number of them have gone so far as to send appreciative letters to the brewery here.
