NO GAITERS
BISHOP OF HONGKONG MAKES - NEW MOVE. London, Saturday. The Rev. Ronald Hall, newly-ap-pointed Bishop of Hongkong, refusea to be bound by tradition. At a farewell gathering in his parish at St. Luke's, Newcastle, he took a stand against wearing gaiters and an apron, and "even at times I may discard the clerical collar," he said. What I do is my natuval way. ' Bishop Hall declared "A Bishop is gaiters looks like Pickwick at a funeral. "As to' the apron, it would be far better if bishops wore a towel with which. to wash the feet of others. I refuse to bow down before convention. A Christian should not care two hoots 'about what anybody thinks."
