A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
OVERLAND
CHINA
SPECIAL COLOURED SUPPLEMENT with PICTURES of all local events
is given free in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
and all the NEWS.
The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
Once again it has been an exceedingly busy week for the
Overland China Mail." so much so that the current issue literally overflows with good things. The paper itself is a strong argument for sending it away to people in the Old Country and friends in other parts of the world.
Sports take a very 'prominent place. In the realm of Lawn bowls, the Shanghai Interport visit has concluded and other important kcal matches have been played; flat racing has been resumed under new circumstances; surprises have come thus early in the coccer season; competition is keen for the forthcoming triangular cricket tournament with Shanghai and Malaya. All this is" covered" by the "Overland," the only weekly news budget published in Hong Kong carrying pictures,
Social and personal" events deserve much attention. with the passing away of respected residents, a number of weddings and announcements of more to follow during the Hong Kong season."
-<
"Double Ten Day" (the anniversary of the Republic of China) was celebrated in Hong Kong in a manner befitting the first time of making it a public holiday. Read about it in the **Overland."
On the West River delta. because of political develop- ments, pirates have ventured out again. In connection with ́them, exciting narratives are printed in the "Overland.”
Mention of politics brings to mind the fact that three "wars are being waged in China at the moment: in Man- churia. v. the Soviet; in the South, the Ironsides on their forlorn hope; and in North China, the flinging down of the gauntlet, by the Christian General's" men in defiance of the Central authorities. What is happening is both recorded and described (for the benefit of the foreigner) in the "Overland China Mail." Be certain you get your copy and post it in time. Or leave an order with the "Overland “ office.
Letters-da relatives and friends έχει other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even by the
ardent mort correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and China news every tozek-by means of a subscription to the "Overland China Mail."
Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one-and only cost of K.$3.75 for three monthe, the "Overland China Mail" will be sont Home for you every week, antching the mail regularly. It contains just the news, features and pictures from the daily "China Mail" that make a studied appeal id people
with
ATV interest
whatsoever in Hong Kong, and Į many lettern tentify to the kion pleasure and interest ite weekly arrival brings.
For your folks at Home to re- ceive this weakly budget, or to keep yourself posted with affairs during your absence, all that you have to do is to drop à chit to the "Over- land China Mail"
The word "Overland" is a re- minder of the experience behind the production, it having been published since the early days of the Colony, to be sent OVER LAND because there was no Suez Canal, and that was the quickest route by which get muil Home.
In the march of times the "Over- land China Mail" has become the only weekly news badget which has pictures. It is made just to Bit requirements, as it has done all along. What more could-be desired?
