of film and sound-tape information and entertainment for Hong Kong people living in Britain.
The Technical Services Division has local and overseas commit- ments, and it produces magazine and newspaper feature articles, photographs, newsreels, booklets and posters. Locally, the division is responsible for handling publicity campaigns for all government departments. The editorial section provides written material for a worldwide press syndication service and for most booklets and leaflets produced in the department.
The division continued to produce a weekly digest of events in the Colony, widely circulated to readers overseas. Other publications produced during the year included booklets on Adult Education, Youth Activities, Fire Services, Prisons and Tropical Cyclones. The Hong Kong Fact Sheet, revised annually, was supplemented by fact sheets on the Waterworks and Medical Services. A book commemorating the 19th Assembly of the International Press Institute, held in Hong Kong in May, was produced for selective distribution overseas, as was a photographic portfolio entitled City of Children.
