BEST COLLECTION OF CHINESE ANTIQUES

(By Professor CHENG TE-KUN)

The collection of Chinese antiques belonging to Mr. Henry Young, and which will be exhibited in the Feng Ping-shan Library this woek-end, is in my opinion one of the best collections in Hong Kong.

During my few months' stay here, I have had the

privilege of visiting no less than 30 collections, and I was impressed by the fact that collecting in this colony has been on a very high plane.

Stricter Control Of Airlines

The Transworld Airlines of the United States hus urged the American Civil Aeronau- lics Board for stronger enforce- ment of regulations non-scheduled airlines,

ing to "Shipping Digest", an American weekly publication.

Local aviation direles told the "China Mail" yesterday that there are two American irregular air carriers serving Hong Kong at present,

They claimed that these two airlines quote tariffs considerably less than that legally allowed to BOAC, PAA, Air France, CNAC and PAL.

Refering to the subject, an article in "Shipping Digest" says:

"Urging stronger enforcement of regulations guverning non- scheduled airlines by the Ameri- can Civil Aeronautics Board, the Transworld Airlines cautioned that if these Irregular corriers ure permitted to come and go around the world w they please, the United States Government will be powerless to do anything that would provent foreign irregular airlines from going to America and serving whatever points they choose, as often as they like.
