Sydney, Feb. 20.

Following the beckoning finger of adventure, more than 1,700 young men recently applied for appointment to the New Guinea service as cadeta. High as the required qualifications are the com- petition for these posts is so keen that the selection is proving difficult. Sixteen cadets are required and so far only three have been appointed.

The Government makes no

secret of the rough read which lies Nine Murders

Millions start off in the morning feeling fit and bright but without the slightest warning there comes an attack of pain in the form of Headaches, Neuralgia, Nerviness, etc. Cold and Flu infection is as sudden as an accident. For these ailments the popular world-wide medicine is ‘ASPRO".

An Appeal

IN AID OF

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION AND BRIGADE HONGKONG AND CHINA DISTRICT

The work and status of the ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION & BRIGADE in the life of this Colony are well-known to the majority of residents, but it is not generally realised that this SOCIETY, which has no accumulated reserves, and, since the formation of the ASSOCIATION in 1833, HAS RECEIVED NO GRANT FROM PUBLIC FUNDS, is in urgent need of money to carry on its varied activities.

Always Ready In Emergency

Since the formation of the Association in Hong- kong, records show that its members have rendered signal service in every outstanding happoning-whother disaster, typhoon or unusual event aziocisted with the life of the Colony, In one season, during a recent small- pox epidemic, over 400,000 people were vaccinated by members of St John Ambulanco--

working day and night. Out of the Funds it has raised, Fiva Motor Ambulances have been purchased and loaned to the Colony, In the event of emergency, members will be called upen to supplement the requirements of the Military, Noval and Civil Authorities, but the necessary equipment cannot be purchased without cash. THE NEW TERRITORIES MEDICAL BENEVOLENT BRANCH is the Organisation formed by the amalgamation of the Society inaugurated by Sir Elly Kadoorie, Messrs. L. Kadoorie, Joseph, Raymond, Professor Gerrard and Dr. Arthur Woo who established Clinics at TSUEN. WAN, TUEN MUN, PING SHAN and SHATIN, and the Organisation of St. John which operated centres at KAM TIN, SHEUNG SHUI, SAN TIN, FANLING, SHATAŲ KOK, TING KOK, !. and SAI KUNG

ད

Most of these centres continue their work and message of mercy amongst the villagers, relieving suf- fering, disarming suspicion and superstition, caring for mothers and infants and instilling the principles of Hygiene, First Aid and Home Nursing, where formerly no such help was available..

"PLEASE HELP"

When it is realised that as many as sixty villages. exist in a single district, many situated amongst the hills far from the beaten track and accessible on foot only, the amount of labour and fatiguo entalled by nurses will be appreciated.

IT IS HOPED THAT THIS APPEAL, WHICH IS THE FIRST PUBLIC ONÉ. MADE ON BEHALF OF THE LOCAL ORGANISATION OF ST. JOHN. OF· JERUSALEM, WILL NOT BE IN VAIN, AND THAT THERE WILL BE AN EN- COURAGING RESPONSE FROM THE COMMUNITY OF HONGKONG -WHO HAVE NEVER FAILED TO ANSWER THE CALL
