Stressed By Education Director

The Director of Education, the Hon. D. J. S. Crozier, stressed the importance of character training in schools when ho addressed the Wing Hong school at its seventh anniversary and graduation ceremony this morning.

Mr Crozier said: "Knowledge, of course, is essential if we are to succeed in earning a living. But we must also know how to apply that knowledge and how to use it for the benefit of others as well as of our- selves. That is where the development of personality and the training of character comes in."

HK Catch Goes To America

by J. P. Prettejohn THERE is more money in catching

prawns and a more ready market for this kind of sea-food than other kinds of fish, in spite of the fact that almost a million people in Hongkong oat fish every day.

This claim is made by a newly developed in- dustry which freezes prawns, packs them and sends them to the United States to feed, millions of people who have suddenly come to the 'realisation that shrimps are less fattening than other sea-foods.

One who is in the new trade sald this morning but at the present moment almost 30 firms were not get engaged in the business and they could enough prawns to supply the huge American de- mand.

This businessman said: "There is a bigger market for frozen prawns in the United States than has been hitherfo realised and once the fishermen become aware of this demand, they will go in more for prawn catching,"

UP-TO-DATE PLANT

This trader, who is running one of the large coll storages in Hongkong with the most up-to-date. American quick-freeze planta, said his firm was able to send about four tons of frozen prawns to the States whenever there were shipping facilities.

He believed others were not much ahead of his plant.

One reason why his firm was not sending larger consignments was that other bidders were offering far too high a price in the open market for shrimp catches.

He said the total, Hongkong consignment of frozen shrimps or prawns to the United States amounted to almost five per cent of the total Ameri- can consumption.

The United States stopped importation of prawns from Hongkong some months back when it was discovered that some traders were purchasing prawns from the China mainland and repacking them for the United States market.

However, agreement had now been reached whereby the United States would permit the im- portation of frozen prawns purchased from Hong- kong registered fishing junks at a supervised public nuction at Government Fishery Department centres.

IDEAL TYPE

Large shrimps or small prawns three or four Inches long, after dressing and with the heads cut off, were the ideal type for the US market.

After purchase at the pubile nauction, the prawns had to be washed, dressed," packed in colourful boxes and deep frozen. At present this businessman sold his plant was producing two sizes of packages, The 16-prawns-to-a-pound box, for home con- sumption and the 5-lb size for restaurant use.

He said that a quantity of prawns bought and taken back to the plant about. 11 o'clock in the morning, was dressed and deep frozen at 8 o'clock the same evening.

"There is a big future in this trade," he added.
