PANAY FILM SCREENING TO-DAY

(Continued from Page 1)

special preview of the film was once yesterday evening. given at the Hong Kong Censor

Lasting for about half an hour, this remarkable picture shows the night almost half-way round the world with the film, grim scenes of the attack on Nanking, the Panay rescuing American refugees, the actual sinking of the ship and the survivors' trek, to safety with the wounded.

Haw Par Ambulance carried:- 609 cases, travelled 5,096 miles...... Over 200 cases treated during the Coronation Processtoris by Brigade Members.

Bixty-nine St. John men and women passed the Air Raid Pre- cautions Course Grade II, thus enabling them to instruct the civilian population and so mitigate the fear of gna warfare.

A total of 1228 persons passed in First Ald or Home Nursing. One St. John man at the request of European onlookers has been re- commended to Chapter General for saving a person from drowning at risk to himself, and afterwards successfully performing artificial respiration.

LACE OF EQUIPMENT The members are ill-equipped. Hundreds are waiting to enrol but there is no uniform, and perhaps more tragic still is the fact that there are many poor little tuber- culosis mites needing treatment sunshine and sea breezes at the Cheung Chau Hospital, but lack of money prohibits the hospital from taking in all these little ones.

Tickets, at $5 each, may be ob tained at the Hotel or from mem- bers of the Brigade.
