Christmas

"Festivities"

[Editor, "Hong Kong Dally Press"} Bir.-In my peregrinations around the different rendezvous of the Colony from Christmas Eve “until Iste on Boxing Day, I saw only one sign of celebration-that of drink- Ing fan and spring dances at- templed on ballroom floors, the | ribald singing of songs and other

Bacchanalian antics.

Has the significance of Christmas been entirely lost upon the present generation?

ป

Surely that is not the way to celebrate the festivity of the Nativity.

Of course, I do not refer to those who attended services at the respective places of worship.

Could any of your esteemed readers Inform me if this unhappy. state of affairs is prevalent in the Colony or if there is an excuse for alcoholic remorse in that sort of a celebration?

BRITISH SHIPPING IN PACIFIC

COMMITTEE'S REPORT

The report of the Imperial Shipping Committee on the in- quiry into the Pacific shipping problem, which was undertaken at the request of the Governments of the United Kingdom, Canada. Australia, and New Zealand, was available recently. It was Issued by the Stationery Office 21 Bd. net under the title of "The Possibilities of a 'British Passenger and Cargo Service between Western Canada and Australia-New Zealand.”
