She ls the patron saint of a!l who earn their living on the waters, and her temples are to be found in every coastal village in South China. The Queen was the Taoist answer to the Buddhist Kuan Yin, who enjoyed alto­ gether too much popularity in the rival faith , so a circumstantial story embodying filial piety, was attributed to a maiden of Fukien named Lin. This fisherman 's daugh­ ter was a model child, who chanted long prayers to call down blessings on her pa­ rents' heads. One day, while they were ab­ sent fishing she fell into a trance, and dreamed that they were in danger from the elements. A typhoon had indeed suddenly struck . the fleet, but she ran to the shore and, by her will power drew her parents safe to iand, while their companions perished in the waves. She is always portrayed with two companions, "Thousand Mile Eyes," and "Fair Wind Ears." Not infrequently a di­ minutive image of her rival Kuan Yin may be found in her shrine, to cater for all tastes. ra,HE Boat Peopla of Hongkong celebrate 1 her birthday as their primary festival of the season, as it takes place at the open­ ing of the fishing year, and small lanterns are taken to the temple to introduce the child ren born since the last visit. The junks who have their permanent moorings at Yau Ma Tl are dressed with banners and bunt ­ lng and are towed by launch to Tai Miu. the great temple in Joss House Bay on the north shore of TUng Lung Island . OF HEA'VEN By PIONEER From SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST. After the offerings of roast pig, chic­ kens, and red eggs have been carried ashore, and laid before the goddess it is lucky to climb the hill behind the temple, and the pilgrims are refreshed with basins of water from a sacred spring. Paper money, and clothing for the goa­ dess are burned in braziers outside the temple, and a religious atmosphere prevails until re-embarkation takes place. The junks then make a figure of eight, to bring t,heir bows on to the temple for a final salute of crackers and, once their h ead is t urned fo r home, the worshippers abandon themselves to pleasure. The heads of guilds carve the ceremonial pigs, and distribute them to fa­ milies according to their contribut ions to the fete . The orchestra piays secular music, and some talented mountebank entertains the crowd with tradit ional dances. One of these. by profession a street sweeper, gave a life­ like representation of the Stone Monkey, the "Great Sage equal to Heaven," to a most appreciative audience. The thick incence sticks, ignited a t the temple, should be still burning on arrival at the anchorage, where they are placed be­ fore the family shrine of the Queen of Hea­ ven, but it is permissible to damp them down in the wind, ll.nd relight them short­ ly before reaching the typhoon shelter. ON the morning of this festival day about a dozen junks were decorated for the festival on the wall of t he Praya near the Harbour Office, their fo 'csles carrying a screen with the inscription "A Happy Birth­ day to the Queen of Heaven.'' In Cause­ way Bay, however, no bunting, or banners were seen, though t here was t remendous activity at the Temple at the Tai Hang village. About two-t hirds of the way across the FOR ALL YOUR • HARDWARE . . . HOUSEHOLD NEED liONARD VA waterfront the road crosses a culvert rtir­ cbarging the st ream from a concrete chan­ nel. On the east side of this is a smail bamboo grove, screened from the r o? -i :-:::r large mesh rabbit wire. In front of it an old bo::.t -womr 'l, in her best black, was kneeling i ~an t of a bunch of flaring incens~ sticks, Jefore whlf '1 she had laid out her offerifl O'~ ; r roast pork, some red d t..mplmgs, or:ma~ anc:I. eggs. With her hands clasped she u · - s making her prayer to the Spir~t of t h e lo­ cality, or Earth God. In her case it was probably a t hanksgiving for some gratthed. request for after repacking her offering in a basket, she attached a wisp of paper to the netting in front of the Tu Ti's shrine. She was on her way back from the Temple, and had received her share of th~ sacrlfic~, which she was laying before the lociU E:,Jct in fulfilment of a personal vow. Several other fragments of paper decorated the wire and two palm leaf fans, and a whisk of fibre were attached to a bamboo stem. ')UIERE is never any difficulty in locating 2. 1 Chinese festival as the road is blazed by returning pilgrims with their arms full of fairings. The children carry paper wind­ mills, or miniature halbreds and, in the case of the Queen of. Heaven the adults dangled a pair of papier mache chickens, some of the more elaborate examples complete with feathers. Women proceeding to greet the Goddess bore cubical frames covered with red paper containing the sets of clothing to be burned as part of the sacrifice. The Temple is backed against the hill side. Two steep stairways give access to the terrace before the main door, and the st reets below the edifice are lined wit11. stalls.

' We had had a nice game of Canasta and just about supper-­ time, we decided to call it a day. We offered the fellows a lift home. As we reached our gate, there was a "Whoosh!" of the engine, but no corresponding increase in the momentum of t he famlly stage coach. We dashed out, leaving all four doors a~ape, sprun~ the bonnet catch, hauled out a flashlight, and without the fain test idea of what we expected to see, we s trung ourselves a round the fend­ ers and peered like a group o.f s tudent medicos at the engine. my _pause of investi~ation with an 'oh' or an 'ah', turn a screw here or adjust a spring t here, and I could see that I had a keen bunch of apprentices behind me. Then I noticed that a small rod was !nging loose. I had been .i,lav a poker hand with mv ~udi nee, and now at last ;~ seemed that I might :vet win ~rough. I toyed with it, crying­ fti more than one ways to get the connection. Then it came. It was the connection betwee:i the carburettor lever and the g'.ls pedal. Of course I didn't know ;t then. To me it was ius t a niece 0f metal that had fallen out of posi . tion. I saw that the lever and the rod were a ball and socket set up. I noted t hat each extremity of Lhe rod had a socket with a sprin ,: and an adjustino- screw. Thing~ beg-an to make sense then. I took up the screw driver from the t0ol kit, and seeing light now, I calmly went along explaining the whole system o.f the gasolene feed , bringing in a bit about the part played by the spark plugs which I had overheard some short time before. The closing remarks to my lecture went something along these lines. "So you see it is important, ,f YOU own a car, to get at least a workit:.~ knowled~e of things .

The firs t of these was held a t the Junior cen­ t re of the Insti tute of Jamaica. and comprised Lhe work of a brother and sister. Miss Leonor Fernandez and Mr. Ernie Fer­ nandez, a very youthful pair. The paintings and drawings done by these young artists are full of a n immense promise since the merit they hold coupled with. t he ages of the pair make one rea­ lize that t hey are cer tainly above the average. Outstanding in t he exhibition a re drawir,gs of statues in black and white by Emle and a por­ trait of this artist done by his sister. There is much of real beauty of form and colour among the fif ty pieces shown, and the casual observer leaves this displaJ with a feeling of satisfaction that talent and beauty can stm be 1.:ombined so nicely. The other Art Show is being held at the Institute of Jamaica :\ l'L Gallery . and ls the combined .,orks of Hector Whlstler, well known English art ist, and Ralph Campbell, Jamaican. This Show comprises many outstanding por- raits of person alities . such as Lady Huggins , her daughter Di­ ana, Mr. Hugh Springer, and Mt­ Tony Dale, son of the Lord B1- .·hop of Tamaica. Both artists are excellent, por t,rait painters. In addition to the portraits there are many other interesting and attractive pictures.

FLOWER IN THE NEWS The annual Flower and County Show of the "Evening News" which opened in London last week has been-; gra'ced by some of Jamaica•~ loveliest blooms, which were flown across by BOAC in good order f0,r the exhibiiion . This ex~ibi t was sponsored by lhe "J am'lica Daily Expre s", the ~elecLion of flowers being made by Mr. G. C. Gunter, and packed by Lhe Pomeroy Nurseries. The Chamber of Commerce has recommended thaL flower vend­ ors who now vend their colourfui and sweet-scented wares in the open on the pavement outside the Supreme Court buildings be provided with suitable booths tor housing t heir delicate goods . While this institution will de­ prive the passer-by of a full vie~ of the lovely assortment of blooms now available to him. th eir protection from the intense heat should gratify him, and if th e booths are tastily arranged at their entrances the sight should still prove a picturesque and refreshing one to the ey .

These summer schools are promoted by Lhe Education De­ partment, Knox College, and the University College of t he West Indies. Tr.e advent of the Uni­ versiLy has created a wider sphere 1.nd a higher standard gene rally in those courses with which it i~ connected. This year th e EducaLion De­ partment is promoting two spe­ cial residcnlial courses for teach­ ers or ooth Lhe secondary and element l Y schools ; one of these at the University College of the w est Indies is a course in Bio­ logy; the other is a special course in Educat·on at th e Schoo 01 Home Economics, Carron Hall. School teachers will also be abk to take cla ses at the University College in Botany and Zoology. and Lhosc who are concerned with dowestic science may par­ Licipate 111 Lhe study of food aud d1emlstry between August ,11 and 20. From A ugus L 21 and the 31st, there is to be a special ad­ vanced -::ourse in .Spanish langu­ ::.ge and literatu re presided over by Pro.t'e.;sor J ose Otero of Wdy­ n sburg College, P enn .. form rly o.f Lhf' University of Madrid . Ti,l'l usual school of Drama un der t,Jw auspic ~ of the BriLish Cour.cil will thi . vec r deal with prod llC­ Lion and stagecraf t. An ou~ tanding feature of the summer :::chools: this year will be the participation in many of their schP.dules by Dr. Marga1et Read M !\ ., Ph.D., Head of tlH' Colonial Department of the Um­ verslty of London Institu te ot Edncation . Jamaican teachers who gain scholarships from the Governm~nt work at the In ti­ tute of Education at the London Universitv. Thus Dr. Read's pre ­ sence here is a wonderful gesture to bring to those who cannot go away som~ small part of t.he op- portunities granted the ones who win t hese scholarships. Tlle benefits to teachers who participate in these summer schools are numerous and varied. Their mP-eting with each other provides ·,he opportunity for an exchange of views for discussions on t heir various problems, anct for that future friendliness anct cooperation which only personal acquaint,ance~hip can bring. The knowleclg~ and practical experi­ ence whi:·h Lhey accumulate at these schools they take back with l hem to place to pract ical use in their responsible posts as teach­ ers 01' the youth of the ·country. Broaden~cl minds help to widen the narrow fi'elds in which' t,fi()y labour. It is being realized more fully that ed•.1cation consists not on ly in ~he technicalities of book learning i.:- uL in tho5€' acquire­ ments of genera l knowledge anct ,.ultural pursuits . For t his reason ,.ultural rctivi ties are being· in­ clud ed 1rore and more in the school curriculums of both teact,­ Prs and scholars alike, and in many ways are being offered freely Lo Lhe general public.

At least a dozen biers with their attendants were in the queue, whilst a constant stream of worshippers milled in, and out. Hot blasts from burning incense discouraged any loitering, whitle bundles of flaming clothing clear ed a path to the incinerator like magic. Representatives of Guilds bore the images of their patron Saint, some in glass fronted blackwoocl shrines, to be recon­ secrated before the Mother Di­ vinity . The entrance was decorated with red scrolls on the side pil­ lars, wit h birthday greetings to the Queen in coloured charac­ ters across the lintel. This is the temple's great harvest of the year and, as each sacrifice is laid before the Goddess a contribution to its funds is handed to the guardian , who enters the amount in a book which is signed by the donor. TO the south of the temple is an alley way, giving access to some houses, and the stairway leading to the west side of the terrace. This was packed with booths, ~nd infested with beg­ gars, for t he festivals are t heir great opportunity. All must be familiar with the story of th e importunate widow, for they follow their victims like bloodhou::1ds on the scent. Men­ dicancy is a subtle problem in China . fhe trade is highly or­ ganised with its proper Guild. He who never opens his purse to a beggar puts himself outside the pale of decent society, but some di s-::rimination in charity must be exercised. (ContinuP.d on page 17) '~-~ Diamond Rings p--"f/Q.

THE PAGODA SIGHTS OF HONGKOl\JG­ THE HAU WONG TEMPLE Among the more than 150 Chinese temples, monasteries and nunneries in Hongkong today, none perhaps bears a more ro­ mant ic historical background as the Hau Wong Temple, near Grampian Road in Kowloon City . Situated at the fooL of a hill , the present picturesque struc­ ture was built long before the Colony was ceded to Great Br i­ tain. The original shrine was a matshed and t he circumstances which led to its erection about 700 years ago read like a tale from the Arabian Nights. The shrine was erected, ar­ corcling to an inscription outside the temple, in commemoralion of a Minister of the last Emperor of the Sung Dynasty, named Yeung Leungchit, who was th e younger brother of the Empress. At t he t ime he accompanied the Empe1✓or in the latter's flight from the Mong·o1 invaders in .about A.D. 1270, Yeung was a marquis (Hau in Chinese) of the realm, but after his death he was posthumously raised to the duke­ dom (Wong) because of his un ­ swerving loyalty and devot ion to his Emperor during the hazard­ ous journey from the nor th to Kowloon City. Yeun g was believed to have died while the Empero r and his entourage were encamped on a hillock (Sung Wong Toi) in Tokwawan , a few hundred yards from the temple. The body was said to have been buried on the s ite on which t he temple now stands and the natives of that time erecLed a shrine over the grave, giving it the name by which it is still known today the Hau Wong Temple. Sung Wong Toi Emperor Sung's Terrace ) was so named by the natives in commemoration of the Emperor who spent many anxious days resting his Royal par ty on the hill. Sung Wong Toi Booksellers, Stationers, Toy Dealers and Genera] Importers JUSTIN McCARTHY LTD. remained a landmark in Kow­ loon for many years unUl re­ moved by the Japanese durin g the occupation to make room for ex­ tension of. the Kai Ta k airfield . According to another story, deat-h struck again at the Royal party shortly after t h e passing of Minister Yeung. The Lime, the ElllperQr's younger sister suc­ cumbed to the t rials and priva- •.tions suffered during the flig·h t and it was said that the royal re­ mains were interred on Sung Wong Toi. A report current dur­ ing the Japanese occupation of Hongkong stated that during t h e removal of Sung Wong Toi, a workman unearthed an object which turned out to be a jade toad . Washing it in a nearby stream to see it the better, the workman found that the muddy waters of the stream instantly cleared, revealing clearly t h e objects under the water. He re­ peated the experiment at home in a basin of dirty water with t he same result. A Japanese gen­ darme passing by at the t ime was said to have appropriated it. This relic was believed to have been one of the minor heirlooms buried with the Princess, a custom still prevalent in China t oday. Hau Wong Temple is visited annually by thousands of Chinese during the New Year. Devotees u ually spend the day picnicking in the adjacenL hills and on such occasions the temple authorities provide meals and refreshments throughout t h e day. There are a number of oth r temples in Hongkong which have been in existence for over a cen­ tury. The more important ones are the Man Mo Temple (Holly­ wood Road), Kwoon Yam (God­ dess of Mercy), Temple (Hung­ hom), Che Kung Temple (Sha ­ tin), Tam Kung Temple (Shauki­ wan) , Pak Tai Temple (Cheung f. ~ -~BABY LOVE:s ' ~ U1e comic.rt ol Cutkun I --.·· Talcum Powder.

Nei­ ther m ed ical nor p sychi atric treatment is effect ive a one, and (C',;py:-iarht, 10;;0, Kins F~turcs S:;ncHcat.e. loc:.) dual often rests upon finding the disease before extensive damage has been done the lungs. And control of the disease depends upon finding the unknown cases which are t hreatening the health of other persons in the com­ munity. Another nineteenth century discovery :>pened the door to early diagnosis. This was the X-ray, discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, German phy­ sicist. This remarkable ray which has the power to penetrate opaque matter, has become the chief diagnostic weapon in the fight against tuberculosis . By means o1" the X-ray, doctors can ·ee th e lung and study pictures made of it . Progress made in the develop­ ment Of X-ray machinery in the past 25 years has placed this diagnost ic aid at the disposal of everyone. Today X-ray equip­ men t is included in every mo­ dern ho oital. Many physicians have X-ray machines in their priva t offices. In addition, mo­ bil X-r:iy units are operated by th e U.S. Public Health Service, stale health departments and vo­ lunt ary health associations in a va. na tion-wide campaign to find unknown cases of tubercu­ losis. Every dult should have a chest X-ray at least once a year.

Messrs Albert Chung, Joseph Lee, Wilson Leesang, Vincent Chung and Jimmy Lower were delegates sent by the Port Anto­ nio Keow-mln School Board to solicit funds for the erection of a building to facilitate the social and recreat.ional activities of the Chinese youths in Port Antonio. The result of their three day's work in Kingston realized a tidy sum of £438 2/-. The Chinese community of Port Antonio wish to express their appreciation to Messrs Lee Tom Yin, Chang Hon Gin, Wong Chew Onn, Lyn Jun­ knain, Lim Sule and others who assisted them. The names of donors will be published later. Joyce Chin, the secretary of the Association also spoke, while Messrs.
