There was a faraway look in Mr Wong's`oyes as he sipped his drink and gaxed out across the harbour. Earlier in the day he had got himself mixed up in an argument os to whether lawn bowls should bo maintained as an "old man's game" or be thrown open to players of all ages,

He was a strong advocate of keeping the game what He liked to call mature' but he had been surprised at the very definite contrary views some of his lunchtime colleagues had ex- pressed on the subjcol.

He found himself wondering just whal Big John thought about healthy and for once the prospect of a the whole thing argument meemed unusually stimulating.

Mir Wong drained his glass and had just called for a refil as Big John caught John eased his bulk through the club door. the last few words of Wong's order to the Boy and he lost no time in adding his own requirementa,

Big John turned an enquiring eye towards his companion, "Ho, ho." he said, "do i gel the impression that you are thinking of starting a Hongkong Schools Lawn Bowls Association with yourself an its first President. There seem no limits to which some people will go to make themselves sporting big shots in this community but I never imagined I going to see the day when you would be jumping on the bandwagon. What are you after? A trip to the Empire Games maybe?" Mr Wong sighed pallently, "Look John, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact I was the one who was arguing against the Idea of letting youngsters play in official com- petitions. I was healing the soapbox on behalf of makṇg bowls a mature man's game although, to tell you the truth, I didn't get very much support for my point of view," "And I should think noi, tao," eut in Big John quite openly and
