PLAYGROUNDS FOR COLONY

(Continued from Page 2.)

to the meeting a further resolution, that two new grounds be applied for, and if the Government agree to enclose the ground and prepare them for play, the Rotary Club will equip them and provido a caretaker for each, it being understood that the additional cost of two new play- grounds will not exceed $3,900 an- nually as shown in the estimate pro- pared by the Community Service Committee.

It would, of course, be, possible for the Club to reject the second motion altogether, in which case, if the first be adopted, we shall simply go on with what we are now doing.

It might also be possible for the Club to decide that they will take up only one more playground and not two, in which case I understand from Mr. MacPherson that he would prefer the Mongkok playground to be taken up rather than the addi- tional playground in Blake Gardens, However, having ascertained from the Club by the resolution I shall put to you what the wishes of the Club are in the matter, as to whether only the present work whether shall be maintained or

If the Club ngreed to the resolution for providing ad- then the ditional playgrounds, matter would be proceeded with on that basis, namely asking members to subscribe and how much they were willing to give.

Resolution Carried.

The resolution was carried with seven dissentients, but a large num- ber of those present refrained from voting.

Chairman's Reply.

Hongkong's Pre-History,

Owing to the major portion of the time having been taken up with the playground discussion, an ad- dress entitled "The Pre-History of Hongkong," by Professor J. L. Shellshear, was unavoidably cur- tailed, and the speaker was not able to make more than brief references to his subject.

He explained that the subject dealt with the cultures of early The Chairman: I have already man, and explained that 20 polished thought of that but it seems to me stone axe heads had been found in In a period of about something like 4,000 NIPPON YUSEN KAISHA.little difficult for the Directors of Hongkong. the Club or myself to approach five years

I quite see your point, Rutarian Bell, but my difficulty is to know this exactly how to proceed in matter. If the Club authorises the Directors to ascertain how much money members would be willing to subscribe, it could be dealt with in that way, and when we got the in-

Professor Shelishear also stated that a bronze burial ground had been found at Aberdeen, where bronze axes, spears and swords had been found.

Philippine Islands.

After pointing out that 250,000 specimens had been found in the Philippine Islands, and commenting on the great work in this connexion being done by the French in Indo- China, Professor Shellshear said that interest in the subject lay in finding what connexion there was between such places us China and Hongkong, the Philippines, Indo- Chinn and Java, and how mankind and his culture had spread,
