Warm tributes to the work on the Sanitary Board of the Hon. Dr. S. W. Tao were paid by the President at the Board's fortnight. ly meeting yesterday when Mr. W. J. Carrie welcomed Mr. T. N. Chau as a new member of the Board in place of the Hon. Dr. Tso..

In answer to questions regard- Ing the number of cases of measles in Hongkong, the Medical Officer of Health said he had not been informed of any casca this year,

Mr. Wong Kwong-tin naked if the M.0.1 would inform the Board if any ense of menstes had been reported and if so in what locality and what precautions had been taken to prevent the disease from spreading.

A second question asked if t was considered that an epidemic of the discasey existed and whe-f ther extra precautions should be. taken by parents and particularly in schools to prevent la infection.

The M.OH. was also naked to advine what stops should be taken in the event of an epidemic.

The Medical Ofleer of Health, Only one death indirectly Dr. H. A. Fawcett, replied.—I am due to the disease had been re-informed of none this year and turned and he did not anticipate only one death indirectly due to an epidemic. He advocated a this disease has been returned: School medical service, with con- but measles is not an officially plete aickness records, among notifiable disease.

I cannot let such an event pasa, without saying a few words of farewell, though Dr. Tso has not really left us and will con- tinue, I know, to co-operate with un. from a higher plane.

The Medical Omcer in the Department, who Education would be most likely to become ware of casos in certain schools, has kindly given me information on the subject, although there is no official connexion between the Departments. She states: "Nu cases notified to me, this year."

The New Member,

As senior representative of the Chinese Community on the Board Dr. Ta has always been in close touch with the Head of the De- partment. His work was by no means confined to these somewhat formal fortnightly meetings we have in this room, but when oc- casion arose he would be in my office giving me the benefit of his
