WORLD SCOUTING VASE ON DISPLAY

A commemorative vase which was presented to the Governor,

Bir

Murray MacLehose, by the Scout Movement in Hong Kong will be displayed at the

City Hall main foyer for a week beginning today.

The vase belongs to the classical design of the "Clermont" which

flourished in the early 20th Century.

A number of local supporters of the Scouts acquired the commemorative

vase, normally for presentation to heads of states, from the World Scout

Movement. It was later presented to the Governor, the Chief Scout of Hong

Kong, who asked that it be displayed at the City Hall as a symbol of the ties

which inspire the international brotherhood of Scouting.

Release Time: 7.30 p.m.
