The torming thousands now residing in the Colony, tich and Rgor alike, have seldom, it over, given much thought to how their daily food reaches their kitchens and tables.

Of

the different kinds of food one may find in the

homes the most common' of all is fish.

People take for granted that fish will be on sale in the markets whenever they want it but do they realise that but for the Ashermon dt. Hong Kong they would have to do without this es- sonilai, type of food which is sup posedly "good for the brains" and within easy reach of everyone's purse?

The daily routine of ench "colony" is similar and the fishing beats put out to sea mostly at nights.
