DOES SPLENDIDLY AT THE BIF
Many Enquiries For Textile Products
{FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)
London, May 11. Hongkong exhibitors at the British Indus- tries Fair may be well satisfied with the business they have done at this year's Fair. Hundreds of enquiries have been made at their stand and valu- able business connections made with buyers from all over the world.
Cotton yarn, cotton piecegoods and other textiles have been in the greatest demand throughout the two weeks that the Fair has been open. The fact that the Earls Court section of the BIF this year is mainly devoted
to showing British textiles has not taken any business away from the Colony. On the contrary, the proximity of the stand to the British textile display has probably

Garden Road Hazards
as
A
correspondent recently drew atten. tion to the unsatisfactory facili- ties for pedestrians in Garden Road just below the Peak tram terminus. The point was well taken. The lower end of Garden Road serves as an im- portant highway for children attend- ing St. Paul's and St. Joseph's the Kennedy colleges as well Road junior school and the military school. It is also used by hundreds of commuters between the mid and upper levels and the city. In short, that particular part of Garden Road is not only a motor highway, but a pedestrian thoroughfare. Yet it caters quite in- adequately for the pedestrian. pathway exists on only one side of the road and this, of narrow-dimensions. And, apart from the Queen's Road entrance, it possesses no pedestrian right of way lane, nor are any traffic control policemen on duty except at the junction of Upper Albert Road and Kennedy Road and at the foot of the hill. Most of the pedestrian traffe crosses Garden Road from and into the grounds of St. John's Cathedral, but a safety lane at this point would not be ideal because it would directly con- nect with the entrance to the Head- quarters Command road-a thorough- fare perpetually receiving and dis- gorging army lorries and other vehi cles. The most effective traffic control. point would be situated between the Volunteer Headquarters and the en trance to the Cathedral, running directly across Garden Road. But, even this would present dangerous hazards.to pedestrians unless a proper pathway is constructed on the western side of Garden Road. Provision' of a
footpath involves one of two things: either it is constructed at the expense of the existing width of the Garden Road motor highway, or the Cathedral surrenders a strip of its land for the purpose. It is suggested that the Cathedral grounds at this point could well afford to sacrifice a strip, five or six feet deep from where the grounds adjoin the Volunteer Headquarters, to the Garden Road entrance. A footpath on that side of road would enable pedestrians to congregate in safety to cross while awaiting their turn through the safety channel, and if constructed on part of the existing Cathedral grounds, would have the added advantage of not encroaching on the present-width-of-the-Garden Road. motorway, Garden Road is a source of constant danger to pedestrians and to car drivers. It is a thoroughfare that is becoming increasingly busy and- must be considered one of the major roads on the island directly connect- ing with the city levels. The children who have to make use of Garden Road particularly need protection and it is one that can easily be afforded them by the Introduction of a safety, right. of way and the provision of a footpath between Volunteer Headquarters and the Cathedral grounds. It is an under- taking which we consider Government should study and put in hand without further delay. Meanwhile the posting of a traffic control policeman at strategical point between Lower: Al bert Road and the entrance to the Cathedral grounds would be of tem porary assistance in reducing the risks of accidents, between pedestrians and vehicles.
