The information conveyed shows that an excellent start has been made. The difficulties to bo encountered during the spade work stage of organising auch Bellvities must be cnormous; the result to date is gratifying, the general impression following a study of the report being that Mr Benson and his co- workers have applled themselves to their. tnak with commendable speed and energy. The ready co-operation which the Com- mítico has met with from both clubs and Individuals speaks well for the spirit and goodwill of the civilian community. "The response has been magnificent from all sections of the community,”
says the Committee. We, for oursolves, - never doubted that Hongkong would play the game; it only remained for someone to start the ball rolling.

clear-cut distinction between the two groups is removed. It is to give citillans an opportunity to meet the Services and to provide the men with somewhere to go when they come into town after duty that the Committee is planning to, open two clubs, one on each alde of the harbour. This is an excellent Idea. The success of the Cheero Club in the old days shows what can be achieved locally. That these club centres are popular with the Services was well borne out in various theatres during the last war. One of the greatest needs which these clubs can meet is the provision of wholesome meats," snacks and drinks at prices which bear some relation to the income of the Forces. Such facilities as are avallabló today are totally inadequate to meet the demand, and many a soldier spending a half day or an evening in town has been forced to pay high restaurant charges, on go hungry or thirsty. And the demand will: certainly increase, as the' „garrison" numbers, already in excess of the non- Chinese population, are multiplied further, An innovation which. It might be found possible to adopt for thess clubs is the serving of simple Chinese dishes which, without the trimmings, could-be' prepared at no great cost. The opening of these cluba by the Ciyllian Committee, together with others by NAAFI, adding to centres tot present in operation, will go a long way to make off-duty - life -- in -town--more congenial and enjoyable for n number of lads.""
