Radiant Warmth

and

Perfect Ventilation

RADIANT warmth, just like that of the sun; perfect ventilation, an atmosphere a5 fresh and ES pleasant as that of the open air on a sunny spring morning-these the modern gas fire brings wher ever it glows, That is why doctors use and recommend gas fires; that is why they are found in hospitals, nursing homes and elinies everywhere.

Scientists have proved titat modern gas fire warmth is like sun-warmth healthy, good for you, radiating beneficial infra-red rays.

They have also proved that while the gas fire warms it provides a perfect system of ventilation.

There are no fumes from the modern gas fire. There are pró- ducts of combustion, of course, us there are from any living flame. But these products immediately pass up the chimney or flue. As they rise they, cause a gentle up- ward flow of used air from the system of ventilation room-x more perfect eren than that of the open window. That is why a gas-warmed room is never stuff.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC FOR FUNDS.

The Committee of the "Cheero" Y.M.C.A. has just published a re- port of the work carried on under its direction at the City Hall.

It will be remembered that the work was begun in 1927 as a tem- porary measure, when the forces stationed in Hongkong were con- siderably increased, owing to the troubles in North China. So many testimonies to its value and so many requests for its continuance were received, that the Committee de- cided, if possible, to put the work

on a

more permanent basis. Through the kindness of the City Hall Committee, the use of premises in the City Hall was granted early in 1928. Since that time an ever- increasing work has been done,

Facilities are provided for Meals, Light Refreshments, Billiards, Tennis, Reading, Letter Writing. etc.

An interesting programme of activities is maintained consisting of Dances; Whist Drives, Socials and occasional Concerts.

These are under the control of the Committee of Management assisted by the Ladies' Committee and are only rendered. possible by the co-operation of many ladies and gentlemen of the Colony who de vete considerable time each week to making the centre attractive.

Offers of assistance from others interested in the work will be wel comed, and should be made to the Chairman of the Committee of Management or to Mrs, Lewis, 173 The Peak.

Naturally, the nett income from meals, etc. can be but little, so that it is necessary to ask for public support. The Statement of Ac- counts shows a loss in working of $2.140.35 for the six months ending the 30th June. Certain economies. will be effected, but the Committee now appeal to the generous publie of Hongkong for the sum of $4,000 to provide for the maintenance of the work throughout 1931.

Chetes should be made payable and subscriptions sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Air. P. E. Barker, at the City Hall or care of Gibb, Livings. ton & Co., Ltd., P. O. Box 55.
