HONG KONG ANNUAL REPORT, 1952
During the year 516 visits were made to young persons between the ages of 14 years and 18 years employed in industry to ensure that regulations regard- ing their employment were being observed. Five hundred and ninety eight young persons already registered reached the age of 18 years and their names were consequently removed from the register; 721 were newly registered bringing the total on 31st December, 1952, to 1,045.
In September, October and November, through the kind offices of the Principal Youth Welfare Officer, Social Welfare Office, an opportunity was given to a number of young persons in industrial employment to have a holiday at the Boys & Girls Clubs' Association permanent camp at Silver Mine Bay, Lantao Island. One group of girls and three groups of boys spent a week at the camp and their enjoyment and the benefit to their health, shown in increased weight and generally improved looks, is a source of much satisfaction.
