PERSONALITY PARADE

Sir It was a pleasure and a treats to read your Personality Parade columns in Monday' isque of the "Chim Mall." I would not claim to be a personal friend of Mr. Claude Burgess, except that I have had the plea sure and honour" of meeting him in the past. With regard to

· sour write-up of Mr. Burgess, 1 muko bold to hope to be per- mitted to add a little more about him. You see, the Press inter. vlow will naturally miss a few points deserving of mention due to the ctmracteristle modesty on the part of Mr. Burgess at all timos.

I wish aimply to state that Claude Burgess did many and various kind deeds to assist many people hero in Hong Kong in the early days aftor the Japanese occupation period. They were not directed to lis porsional telonds either, much icas were they even his acquain- tances! From a natural desire to help others, Mr. Burgess - sisted many of the ex powe with

repatriations, Jobs,

etc. etc., even to the point where he would send individual food par .cels to those he might lave thought were deserving of them! Your write-up of Mr. Burgess was excellent and it would be pity to leave these points out altogether. I mention them from sheer gratitude and pleasant re- miniscence of this very kindly person.
