AN UNEXPLORED FIELD

It would be an unpardonable exaggeration to claim that this Colony will ever be a rich mineral field, but the evidence of certain

leposits in the local hills suggest that they might be worked on a paying basis.The New Territories are one of the few portions of the earth under British influence which Nature has failed to bless with precious stones and metals, though just over the border there are rich coalfields and certain quantities of gold, silver and in the northern party of Kwangtung, even jade. The Kowloon hills are not quite so useless as most people suppose, however, and the geological surveys which have been conducted in the Colony within recent years testify to the existence of various mineral I deposits in quantities which should

it be despised.

FAREWELL TO POLICE OFFICER

Inspector Paterson Retiring

HEAD OF POLICE TRAINING SCHOOL

For many years in charge of the

Training School, Police

Chief Inspector H. J. Paterson, who is the Police Force retiring from shortly, was the guest of honour at a farewell presentation which tock place at Central Police Station yesterday.

There was a parade in the com- pound prior to the presentation by a representative gathering of Euro pean, Indian and Chinese officers. Among those present, being Mr. C. G. Perdue, D.S.P.; Mr. P. Grant, A.S.P., Mr. W. La B. Sparrow, A.S.P., Chief Inspector A. Clarke and Chief Inspector Marks.

SAVING THE CHILDREN

Scheme for Open-Air Nurseries

A scheme has just been outlined, by a committee of education experts to provide open-air nurseries for the children of villagers in the New Territories, planned on similar though simpler lines to the open-air nursery schools.

The objects of the scheme are to establish the nurseries in areas re- note from schools and towns, to enlist the help of unemployed men in building the shelters and mak- ing tables, chairs, stretcher beds and toys for them; and to get the mothers, with again some help from the men, to form a rota for the work of gleaning, cooking, washing and caretking...

The

The committee is aiming at open- air nurseries where children be- twee two and five years of age will be saved from neglect and kept all day and provided with meals, re- gular rest hours and play. parents will be required to pay up lo fifty cents a week for the meals. To each nursery one experienced Chinese superintendent will be ap- pointed, who will be assisted by. voluntary helpers.

The Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe in making the presentation said that before 1920, there was no real train Silver was, and still is, to being for men who joined the Police found in the hills of islands within Force.

That there are still can- siderable deposits of this ore in the Kowloon hills is admitted by geologists, however, and there is no reason why they should not be worked on an unambitious scale by the Chinese. Lead (galenn) is freely distributed throughout the bills and until recent times quite a large mine was worked by a local small and the school was moved, This was soon found to be too Lompany, which closed down for this time to Kowloon to the pre financial reasons.

It is hoped to establish the nur- series in all parts of the New Ter- ritories, and that ultimately they may be taken over by local authori ties and incorporated in the educa- tional system. The essence of the whole plan is the development of local effort and co-operation. No appeal, therefore, is being made for will, of course, be gladly received money for any central fund.
