ROTARY TIFFIN ADDRESS:
ENGINEER TELLS OF HIS TRAVELS IN CHINA AND OTHER PARTS OF WORLD
An interesting account of his travels in China and other parts of the world was given yesterday by ROTARIAN D. W. MUNTON, addressing the weekly tiffin meeting of the Hongkong Rotary Cluð.
"Wanderings of an Engineer." when he spake on the theme:
Rotarlan Manton said, in part: 1 was born and spent the early part of my life in the Himalayas. I mention this fact as it probably had some bearing in the decision my father came to as to what he considered I should do in order to earn a living. His views and mine did not coincide bat he won and so eventually I joined that band of hardworking individuals known as engineers.
