"Celling Zero"

a

One of the greatest romances of the air, "Celling Zero", will be presented at the Oriental Theatre on Friday and Saturday with Cagney and Pat O'Brien in the stellar roles, Based on the Broad- way stage hit by Lieut. Commander Frank Wead, the play is crammed with thrills, laughter and love. it concerns the daredevil exploits of three war buddles who have joined the commercial flying forces,

to carry mall and passengers in the face of death. Not that they considered their work particularly hazardous, but these pilots frequently dirted with life and death against the

ordera of their superiors. For time in air pictures, the kee-wee, or

KING GEORGE

V

MEMORIAL FUND

A FINAL APPEAL

Christmas is approaching with its numerous calls for generosity, and it seems desirable to close the King George V. Memorial Fund before it becomes one of too many claims on our charity. therefore propose to close the subscription lists on Saturday, December 19th, and I ask.every citizen of Victoria and Kowloon to put to himself the following questions:

Have fully appreciated the nature of the Memorial, which is that the thank-offerings of those who prospered under the late reign will be devoted to the recreation of poor people in crowded areas; so that 'Hongkong's monument to King George will not be a lifeless statue of him but a living and permanent realisation of his desire for the health and happiness of his poorest subjects?

(2) Are the ninety thousand dollars that have already been raised the most that Hongkong can do?

(3) If not, can I add to the amount, even though my contribution be small?

-(4) Or, having already given, can 1 give more?
