FAREWELL TO MR.

CREASY

DINNER BY CHINESE COMMUNITY

WARM EULOGY

The Chinese community paid a Atting tribute to the popularity of the retiring Director of Publfe Works, the Hon. Mr. II. T. Creany, C. B. E.. Just night, when he was the guest of honour at a farewell dinner held at the Kam Ling Rea- taurant.

Supporting Mr. Kotewall in the chair were H. E. the General Officer Commanding (Major-General 3, W. Sandilands), and others present in- cluded the lion. Mr. C. G. Alabas- ter, Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, Hon. Mr. E. R. Halifax, Mr. J. Owen Hughes, Hon. Commander G. P. Hole, Hon, Mr. T. H. King (Aet. ing . G. P.). Sir Joseph Kemp, Hon. Mr. T. N. Chnu, Hon. Dr. S. W. To, Sir William Hornell, Capt. Cameron (A.D.C3. and Mr. Ho Kom-tong.

After the Loyal Toast and that of the Republic of China had been honoured, the Chairman gave "The Principal Guest," when he said:

Mr. Creasy, Your Excellency and gentlemen, This is, I believe, only the second occasion in the history of Hongkong, on which a dinner of a public nature, has been given by the Chinese community to a retir. ing Director of Public Works-a fnet which testifies to the high esteem in which the Chinese hold the Hon. Mr. Creasy.
