IT'S PRETTY GOOD!
Many Hongkong dogs and cats cost more to feed than British pets, a China Mail survey this morning showed.
A cable from London yesterday said that the cost of feeding a dog was 5/- a week.
In Hongkong dollars this would work out at $4 a week. The London cuble ulso said that British people spent about £10 million a year on specint pets' food.
A lady living in the New Territories revealed that she spent about $100 a month on four big dogs and free cats. On a breakdown of detalled ex-
penditure tils would work out at about $0 a week per cat and about $7 a week per dog-or almust twice the

'HK MIDDLEMEN ELIMINATED' NOW CHINA SELLS MORE
FRUIT TO SINGAPORE
China is now reported to be selling more fresh fruit to Singapore and Malaya because of "the elimination of Hagkong dealers as middlemen", fruit deaters in Singapore said yesterday.
According to a United Press cable direct trade and cheaper prices quoted by Chinese farmers and exporter had resulted in increased sales of Chinese fruit to the Malayan peninsula,
'China was making a strong bid to cest Australia, and South Africa an the leading suppliers of fresh fruits to Malaya and Singapore, fruit dealers mid.
SHARP RISE
The statements came as it was announced that for the first three months of this year frull imports from the Chinese mainland almost equalled the total amount imported from China last year,
From January to March 7,840 tons of trait valued at about MS5.400.000 were imported from the mainland. Total fruit imports from China last year were 8,580 tons.

New Evidence In
Appeal Case
Further legal submissions on whether addi- tional evidence should be called in an appeal case were given before the Full Court this morning.
The question arose out of an application by Counsel for the appellants to call evidence from a man who was described as not having been available at the hearing of a civil action.

Lee had entered a plea that he has been previously acquitted on a charge for the same offence with which he was now charged, and the Crown, represented by Mr Stuart Collier, Crown Counsel, this morning admitted the plea.
The case came before Mr Justico A. D. Scholes yesterday and was adjourn- ed to this morning to enable Counsel for the Defence to produce the Judges' notes recording the verdicts and of notes taken during committal proceedings.

THEFTS FROM CARS ARE ON THE INCREASE
Mr K. A. Bidmoad, Deputy Com- missioner of Police, this morning stressed the importance of taking all belongings out of unattended cars.
"Unquestionably there are a lot of dupli- cate keys about," he said.
The China Mail confirmed from Mr Bidmead this morning that there has been an increase over the last month of theft from cars not only of articles left in them, but of car accessories like head-lamps, wind- screen wipers, hub caps and even radiator grills.
Windscreen wipers were stolen from eight cars parked in Macdonnell Road last night, according to the Police this morning,
POLICE WATCH
There have been special Police assigned to watch, as far as possible, main car parks and the Police have been trying to trace the outlet for these stolen goods, according to Mr Bidmead.
"We are doing everything we can, but it is very difficult because the car parks are so scattered," he said.
The Hongkong Automobile Association also have their men watching at the main car parks, an official said this morning.
Insurance companies report that slashed tyres are becoming an increasingly popular claim.
RECOVERABLE
The insurance manager of a large firm said "Half our claims are from parked ears with slashed tyres or dents and other damage and bits and pieces stolen."
He said that thefts of car-parts were re- coverable under a comprehensive insurance.
