Toc. H Activities

To the Editor,

The "Hongkong Telegraph." Sir-We shall be very glad if you can make use of this letter, concern- ing the activities of Toe H both here and at home.

A Non-Stop Variety Entertainment entitled "Vaudefun" is being organis ed in aid of Toe H at work with the Forces in Britain. It is to take place on Thursday, November 7, at 9.15 p.m. and will be held in the West Lounge Theatre, Y.M.C.A., Kowloon. David Kossick is producing, and has got together a strong cast of local amateurs,

losy other places, Toe H is seizing the opportunity for providing the homely comforts and atmosphere which so badly nced. This applies not only

men

to the Services but also to the great. centres of industrial

output what

workers, we well know, are sparing no efforts towards our success. To brighten their leisure moments and, more important, to refresh them in spirit just at this time when they are making such a vital contribution to our great cause this is a task as urgent as the production of arma-. ments itself.

As the undertakings of Toc H in- creuse, so does its need of financial help and Brigadier Sir Colin Jardine's appeal for Toc H on the B.B.C. has met with a grand response from the public at home.

Many parts of the Empire have also scat glits, and one of £250. from Shanghai has just been acknowledged. The fine service being done by Toc 11 Is everywhere recognised; it is 'worthy of all the support we can give

it.

DIET FOR FINICKY CHILDREN

It isn't always naughtiness that makes children go off their food. It is more often "Nerviness," tired digestion and the need for the stimulus of a new, palatable casily digested food: -

Finicky children respond very readily to Horlicks. They love its flavour, it keeps them regular and provides abundant nourish- ment in a form that the most queary stomach can take...

Soon you notice a wonderful change. The little body begins to fill out, colour returns to the cheeks, peevishness goes and ap- petite becomes keen. Horlicks gives a child all the energy needed for rapid growth `and strenuous play.
