Mr. Edwards' Speech Mr. Edwards, in the course of a brief speech, said that the boys in Cheung Chau could learn a great deal from observation that their school fellows in town schools could only learn through books.

"It is good to see that physical training ELJ well as organised games are catered for." said Mr. Edwards. "The introduction of the group system for games is a step in the right direction, and it is to be preferred to the old inter- class competitions-producing as it does greater. Keenness between more equally balanced teams.”

"I hope your headmaster will, be successful in getting more boys to join the school Boy Scouts' Troop. Scouting has many things to teach you. It wil teach you among other things to be self-reliant, and to use your bands as well as your eyes. I recommend all of you who can to join," Mr. Edwards con- cluded.

Holiday Granted'

Master Lau Kin-man. from Class 7, then Came forward and on be- half of the school asked Mr. Ed- wards if he would kindly grant a holiday in honour of the occasion.

Mr. Edwards: With pleasure, and I wish you all a very happy holl- day during the Chinese New Year. (Applause).

Three-hearty cheers and a tiger were given for Mr. Edwards after which the gathering dispersed.

HEADMASTER'S REPORT The headmaster's report was, in part:-

Our school has entered upon the tenth year of ita existence, and though still a young institution, it hás met with the enthusiastic support of the community. Some boga who have completed the course here have entered the Hong Kong University, and others have | either gone to the leading univer- sittes in China or taken up Gov- ernment posts locally, and in their homeland.

- DANGEROUS CORNER The intersection of Pokfulam Road and Queen's Road West has always been considered a dinti - gerous one, and fatalities have frequently occurred at this spot. We had two changes in our staff Pokfulam Road leads down to

The truck was heavily with old building materials and Chol Pal, the driver, misjudged his speed with the heavy weight of the burden on the truck, and his efforts to halt it only added to ä hazardous skidding that crushed three innocent pedestrians on the wrong side of Queen's Road after making an unsuccessful turn.

To add to the irony of fate the wall close to where the victims were bit were plastered with "Safety First" signs, while a small "Safety Firat" sticker was summed

BOY STILL ALIVE Although he Was severely in- jured, the 14-year-old boy, Yu KL retained consciousness wit he reached the hospital, and conversed with the officers while waiting for the arrival of the am- bulance, although it was quite noticeable that he was in intense pain.

Hospital authorities stated that the boy was in 3 most critical condition and the badly mutilated leg of the youngster might have to be amputated.

Chol Fal, the truck driver, has been detained by the police, and appeared to be overcome by the ghastly experience.
