JEWELS ARE THE MILESTONES ALONG HER PATHWAY TO FAME

A Star Dancer With An Expensive Hobby

0

by CECILIA FENG, CHINA MAIL FEATURE WRITER

NE woman who loves beauty in any form, be it a flower or a painting, thinks that nothing can make her species look more beautiful and elegant than a piece of jewel- lery to complement her dress.

Miss Julia Darvas, a young dancer from Istanbul, has been collecting jewels as a hobby since she was in her late teens. Her multi- farious collection is doubly precious to her because it is the fruit of her industry and perseverance; it is also a nostalgic reminder of many an exotic scene.

Look How The Colony's Road Toll Has Risen

by J. P. Prettejohn ›

China Mail Reporter

ÎN 1956, traffic accidents in the Colony were responsible for 131 deaths and 4,290 persons injured, though a large number of the victims received only minor injuries. Twenty years before that, in 1936, those who died beneath the wheels of motor vehicles in Hongkong numbered 75 while the more fortunate ones who escaped with injuries totalled 1,100.

Apparently an alarming jump, but as Mr A. S. Morrison, Superintendent of Traffle, point- ed out many factors have to be considered.

Mr Morrison cited the record which showed that 20 years ago there were 4,605 vehicles on the roads. The number of drivers was estimated to be slightly larger than the number 01 registered vehicles.
