HONG KONG DAILY PRESS

CHIEF JUSTICE MAKES FLAG DAY APPEAL

Praises Work Of St. John Ambulance Over Z.B.W.

"I want this evening to tell you a little about the work that is being done in our midst by the members of the St. John Ambulance. Association and Brigade. At first sight such' a talk as this perhaps seems utterly unnecessary. We all know the grand work they are doing.

1.

"Wherever one goes in Hong Kong, at the racecourse, at every` football match," on the bathing beaches and wherever crowds con- gregate we know that the Brigade will be represented; that first ald will be rapidly and efficiently given wherever it is needed, and that for more serious cases the Association's ambulances are available day or night and free of all charge.”

Thus did His Honour the Chief|ritories which transports patients Justice of Hong Kong. Sir Atholl from isolated villages to the st.. MacGregor, begin big appeal. John Cottage Hospital or into broadcast over 2.B.W, last night, Hong Kong.

on behalf of the St. John Ambu- The Association also maintains lance Flay Day to be held tomorrow to raise funds.

The following is the full text of

the address:—

יד

We know of the incessant and unsparing help which the Brigade rendered during the cholers epidemic, when they inoculated no fever than 11,487 persons, and we cannot help being aware of what they are doing to assist in stamp ing out the small-pcx which is un-ị happily still with us. Already they "have vaccinated over half a million people, and that number is ever in creasing.

ווי

All this we know, all this is al most a commonplace to every in habitant of Hong Kong But do we really appreciate the invaluable services which the Association and Brigade render to everyone of us? I am afraid that so far as the vast

majority of us are concerned, the answer must be emphatically and unhesitatingly no, at least so far as that appreciation is expressed in terms of financial help.

RIFLE SHOOTING

NRA. Team's Double Win In Channel Islands

The National Rifle Association | team which has been touring the | Channel Islands during Easter re- turned home on April 19 having won its matches, against both Guernsey and Jersey.

This double success has not been achieved since the Arst team which went out, commanded by Commander Sir Lionel Fletcher, in 1835. In 1938 Colonel H. A. Mann's team beat Jersey, but lost to Guernsey; and last year the team, again commanded by Colonel Mann, lost both matches.

STEVE BLOOMER PASSES

ONE OF ENGLAND'S

| BEST FOOTBALLERS

Steve Bloomer, one of the great- est footballers who aver played for England, died recently at his home in Derby. He was 64 years of age. Except for a brief period when he assisted Middlesbrough, Bloo- mer spent the whole of his play- ́ing' career, with Derby County. He made his first appearance in League football in September 1992, and played his last match in September 1914

As a forward he had no peer. and he was called the "Prince of Players" He played 23 times for England, and between 1895 and 1907 he made ten appearances: against Scotland. In that time

drew twice England beat Scotland eight times, and lost only three

matches.

He was not a trick footballer, His merit lay in the speed and | judgment of his passing, his ability to do the right thing instantly "at any period of a match, and in his forceful and accurate shooting. In League matches he scored 352 | goals, and in addition scored 38

in internationals.

MISSED ONE HONOUR

Every honour of the game fell to him, save one. He never wON an English Cup medal. The only final, in which he appeared was the sensational match at the Cry- stal Palace in April 1903, in which j Bury defeated Derby County 0-0- the most decisive margin in the history of the competition.

After his playing career, Bloomer became a coach, and he was in Germany when war broke out in 1914. He was interned, and after; the war he spent some time

aching in Spain.

Bloomer was a native of Cradley Health, Etaffordshire. He had been in failing health since the death of his wife four years ago. Six months ago friends in Derby raised a fund to send him on a health trip to Australia and New Zealand.

He returned from this trip only three weeks ago, when he said he felt much better. The improve- ment, however, was not suficient to allow him to go put very often.

F.A. PRESIDENT'S TRIBUTE
