SERIOUS USE OF HUMOUR

(Continued from page 7)

A young District. Officer having duly delivered himself of the off- cial oration "asked his audience if they would like to ask any ques- tions. A magnificent specimen of “a Masal warrior, 8. ft. 3 of practi- cally stark nakedness, Just said to the District Officer""Sir, are you married?"—He was not.

"IN CONCLUSION" --*

is one of which the most serious use can be made by all. ranks of society, all nationalities, all creeds and all professions,

One word more.

May I in feeble imitation of a world-famous orator whom I had the privilege of hearing at this hospitable board, may I conclude with a little verse, a prayer

For this prayer was found writ- ten on a little scrap of paper in a pew in Chester Cathedral:

Give me a sense of humour. Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke, To get some happiness in life And pass it on to other folk,

Mme. Mathieu was always the steady hand befind an uneven partner.

(Laughter).

There was a particularly large gathering present yesterday, and extra tables and chairs had to be cbtained before accomodation could be found for all who were present.

Before the meeting dispersed. the Chairman announced that on aursday next at the Jacoblan Room, of the Hong Kong Hotel, there would be a meeting of the Commitee of the Rotary Club,
