Tribute to Mr. Ridley 
The Minister for Economic Affairs in the 
Federation of Malaya recently described Mr. Ridley’s 
life as one “dedicated to the discipline of natural 
science and its application to the public good” and 
added, “The name of Ridley is a symbol of an in¬ 
tangible trust of scholarship and learning from which 
both the spiritual and material progress of a country 
is deriving its strength.” 
Birthday Wishes 
It is right and proper that we should all remem¬ 
ber with gratitude Mr. Ridley’s great and varied work 
for this country, and join in honouring him on this 
happy occasion of his centenary and in wishing him 
Many Happy Returns on his hundredth birthday. 
Mr. Ridley’s Message 
I thank all my friends of Malaya for their good wishes, and 
honours they have bestowed upon me on my iooth birthday. 
It is a great delight for me to have lived to see Malaya so 
prosperous, and the Gardens the best Tropical Gardens in the 
World.
