WHY WORRY?

W

THY worry? The War's over!" So it is. We have all heard that remark more than once, but there is much, to "worry" about yet, We're not out of the game simply because the Hurs have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Fair is surely not the limit of your sacrifice. There are thousands and thousande. of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their lives in misery unless we rally to the aid of the great work of healing Thanks to the Army and Navy, we have had, and will continue to have, a very comfortable time in Hongkong. It is our duty then to "worry," in order that the maimed and sick, the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us bere owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in the war-a debt which we can rever repay. But we can show our appreciationby giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are engaged at home. Money is urgently needed. Shall we grudge it now that the war is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with the echo of the last shot Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day and St. Andrew's Fair. The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause, and its success must be written down in the annals of the Colony's giving as another endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achievements, ca the battlefield and on the North Sea; of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory Offering worthy of the Colony.

PERHAPS IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE.
