CORRESPONDENCE
GUIDES AND SCOUTS.
To The Editor,
Hongkong Telegraph.
Sir,- I suppose there are very few people in these days who will be found to deny the usefulness of the Girl Guide and Boy Scout Movements which have grown so remarkably during the last twenty five years. There is, however, a tendency on the general public to take these Movements rather for granted and to forget that there is constantly a need for Guiders and Scouters and also for financial support.
Here in Hongkong one has often heard the criticism made that not enough is seen of the work which the Guides and Scouts do and that therefore one cannot expect to receive the financial support which would probably be forthcoming if we had greater publicity. Our Movements do not go out of their way to court publicity, but great Rallies and Jamborees which are effective means of bringing the Movements before the Public are difficult to arrange in a place like Hongkong. On Saturday evening, September 23rd there will be a chance for members of the Hongkong Public who are interested to see a little of what Guides and Scouts can do. A concert with demonstration is being organised by the Guides and Scouts of St. Paul’s Girls’ and Boys’ Colleges, and it will be held in St. Paul’s Girls’ College commencing at 7.30 p.m. The demonstrations will include Boxing, First Aid, Signalling, etc., and the concert items will include two short plays to be given by the Guides and Scouts themselves. In addition the following have very generously offered their help:- Mr. Ronald True and the “Cheero” Band, the Misses Stella and Helen Ho and Mr. E.F.Selk. A small proportion of the proceeds will be devoted to the equipment funds of the Company and Troop organising the Concert and with the balance, which it is to be hoped will be a considerable one, we intend to form the nucleus of two Endowment Funds from which grants may be paid to assist poor Guide Companies and Scout Troops. We hope that many will consider the cause a worthy one, and if it is impossible for some to attend the Concert we shall be very glad to receive donations towards the Endowment Funds.
Yours faithfully,
N.V.HALWARD,
Assistant Commissioner,
Boy Scouts Association.

讀者來函
女童軍與童軍
致《士蔑報》編輯：
先生，我相信現在只有為數不多的人會否認女童軍及童子軍運動於過去25年發展所帶來的重要性，然而，公眾卻經常理所當然地忽略了持續對女童軍及童子軍運動的財政支持。
在香港有一批評，就是女童軍與童軍的表現不足，導致失去財政支持。我們的運動未能走入公眾，但大會操或大會(Jamboree)等讓公眾認識我們的活動卻難以在香港舉辦。就在9月23日星期六晚上，香港的公眾將有機會一睹女童軍及童軍的活動了。聖保羅女書院的女童軍及聖保羅書院的童軍，將於晚上7時30分在聖保羅女書院舉辦一場音樂會，節目包括武術、急救、旗號等，音樂部份會有兩場由女童軍及童軍親自表演的短劇，以下人士同場表演：朗勞先生(Mr. Ronald True)及卓羅樂隊(Cheero Band)，史黛拉小姐(Miss Stella)、海倫小姐(Miss Helen Ho)，以及石先生(Mr. E.F.Selk)。小部份收益將用來填補各隊伍用作舉辦音樂會的開支，其餘收益，希望足夠多，將用作成立兩項基金，為貧困的女童軍及童軍隊伍提供補助。希望公眾認同這項活動值得參與，如未能參與活動，我們亦歡迎各位捐助這項基金。
此致
