ho was bound to respond. He had been out here something like 25 yeara and had many happy memories of that time but none wero more happy than those associated with the K.R. A. It had brought him into touch with many whom he was glad to claim among his friends and with whom It had been a privilege to work.

The Association was, he felt, distinguished by two characteris- tles; the first, their capacity for getting things done, and the se- cond, their single idea of public intorest. During his cosinection with the K. R. A. ho had never known of a single instance, where any individual had an axo of his own to grind. It had always been public Interest first and al- ways (Hear, Hear). "I leave with regret and wish it ovary happiness and success In the future and a hope that it will meet with increasing support from the residents of Kowloon," con- cluded Mr. Rogers,
