I am happy to be able to report that apart from those dismissed all the members of the staff worked conscientiously and to our satisfac- tion.

On account of the faithful ser vices of Dra. Lal Kwong-Yuk, Ko King-fan, and Chow Tin-cham, and upon the recommendation and ad- vice of Dr. Phoon Seck-wah, the directors decided to renew their engagement upon the expiration of their term of two years' service.

I cannot refrain from referring to the work done by the staff of the Secretary's office, conatating of Messrs. Chan Yik-wan (Secretary), Wong Shut-ming, Ma Kin-pak. Loong Chiu-fan and Leung Yu-chiu (Treasurer).
