Carrie said that while some of them felt sorry for the passing of the old Sanitary Board, but none would be sorry for the non- sensical Chinese name of "Kit Tsing Kuk," which could be trans- inted as the "Purity and Cleanliness Bureau." That might not have been a nomeclature, but it only, stressed one side of the duties of the Bureau.

CHEERO CLUB GAIETY

-“Postal Orders".

An enjoyable evening was spent by mentbers of the Services last night at the Cheero Club when an impromptu concert followed by a farcical sketch entitled "Postal Orders" was rendered by several artists.

Prior to the sketch being pro- duced incidental musical iteras were provided by several membara of the services and the accordion playing by Mr. Gallagher of HMS. Kent evoked rounds of applause.

"Postal Orders" was then played and brought forth peals of laugh- ter from the audience. Witty dialogue and clever acting made, the sketch an entertaining 'affair.

Miss E. Gray was in charge of the sketch and was assisted by the following artistes, Misses; M, Mus- uff, B. Bichero, E. Beavis, and Mr. McKenny. Mrs. L. C. F. Bellimy who had always had the interests of the services at heart was also present and rendered vidusble ser- vices to the arrangements. It was a thoroughly entertaining night -
