Evangelical Wisecrack On Call For JARDINE, MATHESON & CO., LTD.
Hong Kong Spitting Habit Peace
'(Contributed)
*
A young missionary arriving in Hong Kong for the first time was heard to remark, "Well, if It's true that there was universal expectation all over the Orient at the time of the Birth of Christ it certainly is true of the present time that there is universal expectoration"" There is only too much truth in that would-be evangelical wisecrack. Promiscuous spitting in public places is so prevalent that it is almost taken for granted. It may astonish readers to know that spitting is prohibited by law in Hong Kong! True! It's a fact! I am not joking. Section of the Summary ed in by most of the people Offences Ordinance rents: passing. "Every person shall be able
