Unfortunately much of the. clothing is very unsuitable for the refugees in the north, this being. no fault of the donors Most of them live in warm climates and they cannot be expected to send warm, woollen clothing."

Dr. Wu then asked for a sug- gestion as to the disposal of these clothes, pointing out that there" were more important things to be consirtered

the before

refugee clothing. "I suggest." Dr. Wu con tinued, "that benevolent societies and other bodies in Hong Kong should apply to the National Women's Relief Association. The storage of these old clothes is also a big problem.

"MEDICAL PERSONNEL With regard to the question of voluntary medical and nursing personnel, only surgeons and fully trained male nurses are still re- qu'red. We cannot do without fully trained personnel, especially surgeons and male nurses, and 1 ..have been requested by the authorities not to encourage the sending of female nurses owing to the conditions at the front.

"Our duty is to see that the wounded and the injured receive all the necessary supplies possible. Officially, we are blind to the war situation. we are only concerned with the relief of suffering among the war victims, whether they are soldiers or civilians."

REPORTS DISCUSSED Various reports, indicative what they have done and Sug- gestive of what they would like to do. Were then discussed. in the course of which. Mrs. R. Langley.. Corps Secretary of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. said: I have Just received a contribution of £25 with which to purchase drugs and a further contribution of $800 from the Indian Red Cross,

Father A. Grenelli spoke of the work that is being done in How- loon stating that so far a sum of about 25,000 In cash. had been. collected.

The Hon. Dr. L Shu-fan said: The foreign ladies working. In Canton, under the name of the Shameen Foreign Women's Unton have sent me four packages of dressing material and through the kindness of the National Women's Rellet Association these packages were sent up north.

DARK PATCHES Witness thought that the spot the accident had oc- at which curred would not, under normal circumstances, prove of much dif- culty for an experienced motorist to negotiate, but on a dark night and with weak lights it would be road A dangerous matter. The along there was lighted but there were dark patches.

In reply to Sub-Inspector Saunders, Mr. Heath said he had known Mr. Bidmead in Hong Kong for about seven months and had lived with him for two months prior to

the accident. He had known him before too. Witness never saw Mr. Bidmead take any intoxicants other than liqueur and these, drinks he could only recall seeing him take or about three occasions during the whole Ume he had known him. He would say Mr. Bidmead was 9. per cent a teetotaller.

WATCHMAN'S STORY

Fung Kwal watchman employed by Mr. Wong Tsung-fal at the re- sidence in Bassoon Road said he was reading a newspaper inside the gate at his master's house some time after 11 p.m., on October 31, when he beard cries in the voice

of a European. He went out and saw Mr. Bidmead who told him to get more help. He went away and returned with, some folds and they eventually managed to lift the car and get the person under- neath out,

NO BLAME ATTACHED Addressing the Jury, the Coroner said he thought they had heard aumcient evidence. There was no reason to doubt that the witnesses called had told the truth and he did no think they required to near anything more to reach their ver- dict.

The foreman of the jury agreed H's Worship then said he con- sidered it was very clearly a case of accident. The Jury would also have to consider whether there had been any error of judgment- that was the highest it could be put on anyone's part. Efs own view was that it was a clear ac- cident and no blame was attached to anyone.

Without retiring the jury re- turned their verdict as above.

NEW DIRECTOR OF MILITARY TRAINING
