Many visitors availed themselves of the opportunity of inspecting the sturdy craft in which Captaini Green and his 18-year-old son. Philip, are to travel to Vancouver. thence to England and the tropics. The Speeches

In proposing the success of the new brigantine, Mr. Drammend congratulated Captain Green, on building the craft "out of his own head." Knowing the skipper as he did, he was sure that Captain Green intended to operate the vessel according to his own ideas. Captain Green, he said, had just retired from the service which he (Mr. Drummond) represented and he felt sure the best wishes of all on shore and afloat went to Cap- tain Green, and his new venture.

He wished Captain Green and his family success, and expressed the hope that they would find romance, happiness and sweet contentment In their ship. (Applause).

Replying. Captain Green ex- pressed hearty thanks to Mrs. Drummond for performing the launching ceremony. He paid a warm tribute to A. King and Chan Shun-fat, the bullders who had put in a lot of wonderful work. He had watched the building of the "Romance" and had seen the work put in.

"I think I can say that she is the strongest ship ever bullt in Hong Kong, if not in the world, ot that size," he concluded.

Among visitors present were Mr. A. L. Shields, Commodore of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, Mr. H. S. Rouse, Vice-Commodore of the Yacht Club; Commander and Mrs. W. G. Cowland. R.N..

After the meal, the sailor again asked for a drink. They were told to go inside, a room at the back, and there they were served with drinks. They had two bottles of beer each. There were four American sailors and another British sailor in the same room drinking beer.

SOCIAL WELFARE

Housing In Hong Kong

(By Rev. T. F. Ryan, S.J.)

If anyone were to quote examples of what happened in connection with housing in Western countries and apply it to. Hong Kong he would be speedily reminded that this is the East, where everything is different, and that would be supposed to be a final answer. But is it? If bad housing conditions make for bad health and discontent in the West, is it certain that they . will not do the same in the East? It should be remembered that bad housing and consciousness of bad housing are not al- ways the same thing. One may say that Eastern people are con- tent to live in conditions that are much more crowded than would be tolerated in the West, but that by no means proves that bad housing conditions do less harm in the East than in the West.
