The kindergarten teacher had

"What would you say we need
most of all in this room," she
finally asked, "what do we need

hand. "Could it be television?"
She inquired.
At the time of entering the

"Singapore Sling," well known
here in Canada. However, much

Previously mentioned.
Later on in the evening, we
had the opportunity to visit
the notorious Lavender Street
section in company with a police
inspector. Bedause of his thor-
ough knowledge of the ways of
the underworld of this vast city,
we succeeded in gaining admit-
tance to •several opium dens and
were surprised to see the opul-
ence of these establishments.
What we saw within, however,
is not very printable material,
but we will say "for ways that
