Why Tin Hat Day?

In common with every part of the British Commonwealth of nations, the Colony of Hongkeng is determined to play Its part in the War Effort. Not by any means the least of its efforta la ropresented by the Bomber Fund.

"

When £150,000 had been sont from this Fund to the British Government, Sir Geoffrey Northcote received a telegram from the Secretary of State for the Colonies which stated: "I am most gratified for the generous flow of contri- butions which now total over £153,000,"

At the same time, His Excellenes ressived a telegram from the Minister for Aircraft Production: "Acknowledge with grateful thanks further sum of £15,- 000. This magnificent gift is being added to the sums already received and boing devoted to Bomber Squadron. I look forward with pride to the day when this squadron will go into service to hear witness to the generosity of the outpost of the Empire whose make it will bear."

To date, £156,939-19-6 has been remitted. Approximately £23,000 is still requir ed to reach the sum to commission and put into service the Hongkong Blenheim Bomber Squadron.

While it is gratifying to know that contributions flow into the Fund almost hourly, the balance required is still considerable..

Under the Presidentship of Lady MacGregor, the ladies of the Colony are co-operating with The Hongkong War Effort Committee and organising special drive for Funds which has been named "Tin Hat Day."

The H.K.W.E.C. Is busy organising the "Tin Hat Ball" which will offer pleas- ing entertainment and fun-and at the same time give considerable impotus to the flow of money urgently nooded to put into service Hongkong's Bomber Squadrón,
