Scottish traditions, which excited the magic pen of Robert Burns in the days of long ago, together with the spirit of camaraderie, combined in forming atmosphere of cheeriness and goodwill at Volunteer Headquarters last night, when the famous Scottish. anniversary of "Hallowe'en" was observed by the Scottish Company of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps.

Specches delivered by Capt. H. R. Forsyth and Mr. T. H. R. Shaw were full of interesting reminis cences, on the one hand of the work and activities of the Scottish Com- pany, and on the other, the origin and early observances of Hallowe'en Night.

To complete the atmosphere, the hall was fittingly decorated with greenery and national flags, to gether with gaily coloured lanterns and electric light effects. Behind the head table hung the Scottish Company's emblem, surrounded by the Royal Standard, whilst in the stood the

However fear- some the spells might be outside. there was no doubt that it was very friendly inside that night (Ap- plause). He thanked Capt. For- extraorsyth and the members of the Scot- tish Company for their kindness. He appealed to them to keep their numbers above the Shanghai com- pany, and this would they be living up to their motto.

Attendance at camp should be encouraged. Some endeavoured to give the excuse that they were too busy, or that the "taipans" wald not allow them the time off to at- tend. He thought the "taipuns" should help their men to go to camp and encourage them.

When the Drum Was Lost. The Company' held its annual Church Parade on the Sunday following St. Andrew's Day, when there was a good muster of forty strong, with two pipers and two side drums. They marched out of the grounds by the side of Govern ment House, but as they emerged round Garden Road, the Company Commander suddenly saw the big drum emerge from behind a bush. (Laughter).
