She Wanted

To See The China Seas

NOW SHE'S HAPPY

Six months ago demure young Australian girl named Shirley McLeod penned a fifty-word letter on "Why I Want, To Visit the China Sran

This morning she reached Hong- kont on the Brst stage of a tour that was the prize offered for the best letter.

I took only fifty words to win the prize. But this morning, after catch- ing a glimpse of Hongkong. Miss Melood told wint she really thought of the Far East-in a two-thousand word letter to her people in Australia.

n

It would be impossible to condense into fifty words all I have to tell them about this beautiful place," she said. The Australian branch of Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, in conjunction with the Australian Women's Weekly con- ducted a China Seas Contest in which readers of the magazine were asked to write a fifty-word letter on "Why This I Want to Visit the China Sens." Was Miss McLoud's prize-winning Jetter:

"

"My eyes ache over rows of black figures an white paper. close them. I see waying palms-- transparent trople seas--glorious colours-sex Gowers-sea creatures -birds of paradise-strange, ländis -strange people.

"My eyes have stopped aching.

Birt I open them to write agalu. now may heart aches,"

The competition was run in connec- 11on with the M.G.M. film "China Sea" which, it will be recalled, was banned by the Censorship Board in Hongkong, but enjoyed a remarkable run of popularity in Australia

Indicaling the desire of Hongkong to foster friendly relations with Aus- tralla, the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Ltd, invited Miss McLeod to stay at the Peninsula Hotel as the guest of the Management during her holiday in Hongkong.

The young Australion beauty will remain in this Colony until the de- parture of the Changle for Australia next week.
