In his address from the visits to the Services chair, Mr. K. M. A. Barnett, Chairman of the Club, review ed the past activities of the Sino-British Cultural Society which was formed in 1945, and told of the increasing in- terest taken by people In the activities of the Society, which led to its formal incorpora-

Mr. Barnett repeated the first three objects of the Club, which were the keynote of its activities. They were:

"In this way we can introduce this lovely home of ours, to the allant men and women who have come out here to help defend it. And maybe we can introduce them them to ourselves and maks feel hot strangers, but of na, ant when they go way they may feel that this has been to some. degree their home too," said Mr. Burhett
The meeting closed by passing vote of confidence in Its chair- man and in the newly appointed in the cultural heritage of the pub

Mr. Barnett went on to say that the origin of racial prejudica and discrimination, of dishar- mony, hatred and suspicion be- tween neighbours, near and for, had their root in, ignorance, and it was this enemy, ignorance, that the Club was out to attack.
Every community has something of its own to be proud of, sotne precious heritage it treasures,
but that heritage ought not to bo jealously guarded in seclusion, but should be freely exchanged and handed round for general ap- probation and comparison.
Mr. Barnett paid tribute to the part played by the Services in contributing to the work of Sino- British understanding, and it was the intention of the Club to bring Hong Kong and the Service man closer together to make him feel leas of a stranger and more at home among people they perhaps wanted to know and yet had not the opportually of knowing.
