OF NEW DEVELOPMENT SCHEME

An "island" site near the Western Market, at the Sheung Wan end of Des Voeux Road, has been chosen for a new 12,000-line telephone exchange for the Western area of Hongkong. The architects drawings, prepared by Messrs Palmer and Turner, are before the Hongkong Govern- ment for approval.

An initial building of nine storeys, it will house offices, automatic exchange, and provide flats and social amenities for the families of about 50 Chinese employees,

Later the exchange will be developed to serve 19,000 lines, and at least two more storeys of living flats will be provided.

How not to give

a Tennis Party

BAD hosts are born and not made; not everyone can make a failure of a

tennis party. Nevertheless there are certain observances which may be- relied upon to reduce the chances of success.

For instance, do not roll the court before the guests arrive. Let them do it themselves while you maintain a flow of good humoured banter.

Do not mend the holes in the wire-netting. Searching for balls in the middle of a ding-dong game is a great fermenter of temper. ( --
