How truly the words apply to present-day Hong Kong.
I know that Rotary in Hong Kong, with its main
objective of "Service", will do all it can to help in
this campaign. One positive way will be to exercise your
civic rights and register as a voter in the next year's
Urban Council Elections. I am an Appointed Member and am
not therefore plugging for myself, but my elected colleagues
on the Council, with whom appointed members work in
close and generally amicable concert in Committee, need
and deserve the support of voters to help encourage
them in their work on the Council. If you have listened to
my talk, you must agree it is no mean task. The closing
date for new voters to register is 14th June and re-
registrations, 30th June 1972.
President George and Fellow Rotarians, thank you very
much indeed for your invitation and attention.
