BEST APPRENTICE IN GOVERNMENT WORKSHOPS

Presentation Of "Brown Cup" Tomorrow

This year's winner of the "Brown Cup" for the best apprentice in

Government Workshops is Mr. Tang Wai-keung of the Waterworks Office.

Mr. J.M. Pettigrew, Government Water Engineer (Mechanical & Electrical),

will present the Cup to Mr. Tang tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon.

The "Brown Cup" is awarded to an apprentice in Government Workshops,

who makes the best progress in any year either in practical and/or student class.

The Cup was donated by Mr. J.C. Brown, who served as a Chief Electrical

and Mechanical Engineer of the Public Works Department between 1948 and 1959.

Mr. Tang started his apprenticeship in November, 1967. His practical

work has been of consistently high standard throughout his apprenticeship.

His technical education has also been consistent and in the latest

mid-term examination he was first in his class.

At tomorrow's ceremony, the official signing of indentures of 28

apprentices will also take place.

Note to editora:

You are invited to send a reporter and/or photographer to cover the ceremony which will take place at 3.00 p.m. tomorrow at the Cinema Room, Civil Aid Services Building, Caroline Hill Road, Hong Kong.
