ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Mr. Yu Koon-yau and family wish to thank 22 relatives

and friends for their kind condolences and attendance at the funeral of their late wile and mother, particularly to Dr. EL Gosano, Dr. A. P. Guterres and the Society Of St. Vincent de Paul, for their sympathetic generosity.

NEXT STEPS

The chairman of the Hong Kong Reform Club has at last taken cognizance of the public and private sugges- tions that the organisation has become moribund, after the fashion of mest non-pro- fit-making enterprises in the Colony. The absence of gen- eral meetings or statements to the Press should not, te says, be taken to mean that the club is doing nothing. On the contrary, much spade- work is being done behind the scenes.
