The President said that mem- bers would be sorry to learn that Rotarian A H. Veltman, formerly Secretary of the Amoy Rotary Club, was leaving the Colony for good. He had not been with the local Rotary Club for very long and they wished him a bright future,

Rotariar Veltman: I thank you for your very kind words. I would like to express my best wishes for the future of the members and the future of this Club. Now that am on my feet I feel I have a confession to make. I have long ago been asked by the President of the Amoy Rotary Club who is also Fresident of the Amoy Uni- versity to hand over to you as a mark of friendship and goodwill the flag of the Amoy Rotary Club. I do ao now for it is the last op- portunity. I have. (Applause),

Rotarian Dr. Yan To Tsang, of the Canton Rotary Club, said he brought .greetings from his Club and reminded Rotarians that the Canton Rotarians now meet on Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays thus enabling more members from Hong Kong to attend their meet- ings. (Applause).

At Khom Pong Thom we stopped for coffee and sandwiches, set off again and arrived in Phnom Penh safely. Phnom Penh is the capital of the kingdom of Cambodia.

Angkor was formerly the capital, in the days when Cambodia. in- cluded much of, Slam and Laos. There is now no great mystery about Angkor. The present Cam- bodians are direct descendants of the Khmers who were driven out of Angkor by Siamese invaders late as the XVth century. It was believed, at one time, that a whole civilisation had disappeared from the earth leaving behind it Angker

Cambodians, merely left Angkor when it became too hot for them

Our decision to leave Angkor

was a sudden one. We had ar- ranged to have a troupe of Cam- bodian dancing girls give us, on The very steps of the Temple o Angkor Wat itself, an exhibition of the

dances which to-day are danced exactly as they were in the 8th century.

It was really the closed, season for such dances but we thought we had everything all arranged, However we were not to have that treat, as though the dances were all for us the musicians were all cornered by some very important personage who was entertaining the Chinese Consul General up from Salgan...

THE HISTORY

In 1372 a lady named Penh lived on a hillock and one day during the rainy season shạ saw a huge tree floating past. Being of a thrifty turn of mind she called her friends and together they hauled the tree ashore intending to use it as frewood. To here amaze- ment, however, she found, hidden in the trunk, four bronze effiges af Buddha and one of Vishmu.

This was taken as a sign that the Gods themselves were tired of being continually harassed in Angkor and had decided to leave it forever: A shrine was bullt from the wood of the tree and the
