Chairman's Review Of Last

Year's Operations

Presiding at the annual general meeting of the Star Ferry Company, Ltd., this morning, the ilon. John Keswick disclosed that the design for the new ferry piers on the Hongkong side of the harbour had been officially approved. He added that the final plans, which were the responsibility of Government, had the full approval of the Com- pany.

Dealing with the Star ferry operations during the past year, the chairman said they had carried 364 million passengers, which was a slight drop on the number carried the previous year.

He paid a high tribute to the efficiency of the pier stuff and deprecated unfounded criticism.

Add casing the meeting the ilon John Keswick said:

Why we eny Here we go gathering nuts in May:

The apparent absur- dity of this saying lies In the fact that, of course, no nuts are to be found in May. But May (or hawthorn) is then flowering, and it used to be the custom to make knots of May for decoration. So the phrase should really be "here we go gathering knots of May.”
