the Editor of the "Nowmm-Curxa Dany News Sm—In your correspondence! column of Sept. 24, a writer under the signature Decomarep inquires why the S.M.C, and for that matter the Concession' authorities aswell, have seen At not to issue their medals to members of the Forces of the other administration, pointing out "That of course not ' everyone should obtain additional medals", therefore admitting that someone should have two medals (most likely. including himself)—one from SMC. and another from the Concession authorities and vice versa.
Since this question is raised again I wish to remind our City Fathers: that there are still groups of brave Jmen not decorated as yet, who dur-Ing last year's hostilities had render-_ Jed most outstanding services to the city and to the authorities concerned, Tam speaking of SP.C. Riverside Suicide Club "and the Yangtzepoo Waterworks Staff. As the matter of reference, the following is part of the "Personal Mescage to the Members of the Riverside Suicide Club" dated Aug. 28, 1937.

Petty Arguments 'To the Editor of the 'Nowrm-Cunxa Dany News'
Sin—These petty arguments which are going on regarding the 1937 Emergency Medal are too foolish for words.
We all did our bit and not, may 1 dd, with any hope for a decoration.
'That the Council should have thought fit to decorate only those who rendered services which were not part of their usual daily currie colum, i.e, in defending and keeping order in ihe Settlement under great aieultie', and left out those who merely carried out their duty under uncomfortable conditions was, 1 consider, a very just decision.
I take off my hat to the Public Ulllities Departments for sticking by their guns. I also take off my hat all the merchants who also stuck by their guns. We all had one other alternative and that was to leave our rance oe couldn't "have found another t perhaps Nor Decosarzp had at least six in view, hence his indigestion. Tough luck old boy! Take my advice and leave Town. There are no medals coming your way in your present job, 20 why not accept one of the other six you have in view. There are many men waiting to step into your present position who don't want to be decorated.
