Thanks for the Motor

Ride!

A prominent Danish resident here had ar interesting experience at the Hungjao Road barbed wire crossing at about 5.30 pin. yesterday, when he was stopped by a Japanese officer.

Having been: in Japan for several years and being able to speak Japanese, the resident learned that the Japanese officer stopped his car for the purpose of getting a lift. To this the resident consented and the Japanese officer was taken to as far as Fraser Road.

Here the foreigner was asked to halt. Before leaving the Japanese officer handed to the foreigner 20 cents—big money!
