PLANS FOR FOR

WHAT ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS?

Here Are A Few Ideas

It is about this time, every year that the more fortunate among the office workers of Hong Kong begin to plan their summer holidays, and, it is not uncommon to hear of people talking about trips to Bagulo, Java, Shanghai, Japan or some of the Empire.

These summer holidays last from two weeks to a few months, and while a trip to some foreign place is always very beneficial, both as a rest cure and an education, it is surprising that more people do hot take advantage of the many holl- day spots within Hong Kong and the New Territories.

For the past two or three years the "Come To Hong Kong" cam- aign has been pursued by those concerned with the task of putting Hong Kong on the tourist map, and as long as the people of Hong Kong refuse to take advantage of the facilities offered here, it can hard- ly be expected that people from
