FIREMEN IN PASSING OUT PARADE

****

COMRADESHIP IS BASED ON MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT, THE CHIEF FIRE OFFICER (HEADQUARTERS), MR ROY WHEATLEY SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY).

CTING

SPEAKING AT A PASSING OUT PARADE AT THE FIRE SERVICES TRAINING SCHOOL IN PAT HEUNG, MR WHEATLEY TOLD 43 NEWLY-GRADUATED FIREMEN THAT THEY OULD APPRECIATE SUCH COMRADESHIP DEVELOPED IN THE IR TRAINING, IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

HE REMINDED THEM THAT THEY WOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE PUBLIC EYE WHILE AT WORK, AND WOULD NOT ALWAYS RECEIVE THE APPRECIATION THEY EARNED AND DESERVED.

+BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE PERSONAL SATISFACTION OF KNOWING YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE, IN WHATEVER OR HOWEVER SMALL A WAY, OF HELPING THE CITIZENS OF HONG KONG TO PARTICIPATE IN A SAFER LIFE, MR WHEATLEY SAID.

+YOU HAVE CHOSEN A PROFESSION WHOSE HISTORY CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE ROMANS AND YET MOVES FORWARD WITH THE SPACE AGE, EACH ERA LOOKING FOR MEN LIKE YOU WHO SEEK A JOB WORTH DOING, AND WORTH DOING HELL, HE SAID.

YR WHEATLEY KELCOMED THE RECRUITS AND WISHED THEM A SATISFYING AND WORTHWHILE CAREER.
