Opened Today By Governor
Opening the atomic energy exhibition in the reading room of the British Council, Gloucester Building, this morning, His Excellency the Governor, Sir Alexander Grantham, said that new fuel may be available to Hongkong in the not dis- tant future for the promotion of local industries, "hence we are likely to be less dependent upon coal and oil, supplies of which must be regularly im- ported into Hongkong, and which are always sub- ject to economic factors beyond our control.”
The exhibition, which comprises photographs, coincides with the opening today by Her Majesty the Queen of Calder Hall, where the world's first large-scale atomic power station is situated.
The Hongkong display has day on which Her Majesty the been organised by the United Queen will open tho Calder Kingdom Trade Commissioner, Hall Power Station in tho Mr G. B. W. Harrison, who United Kingdom. welcomed the Governor at this morning's ceremony and invited him to
declare the exhibition open
Doing so, Sir Grantham said:

Calder Hall is tho first large-scalo atomic power station to be brought into 190 anywhere in the world, and it is in itself a most notable co- tribution by British Science to tho
peaceful ures of atomic energy.
Apart from the natural prido and pleasure which we can take in this achievement by atomic scientists, and the contri- bution which it will make to the power resources of the United Kingdom, Calder Hall has
# special significance for territories like Hongkong, since it means that a new fuel may be available to us in the not too distant future, for the promotion of dur local industries, and hence that we are likely to be less dependent upon coal
and oil, supplies of which must be regularly import- ed into Hongkong, and which are always subject to economic fac- tors beyond our own control
All the material for this exhi- bition has been organised locally, and I am looking forward partl cularly to seeing the demonstra- tion of some aspects of atornic - science arranged by the Univer- sity of Hongkong.
An Earnest
I emphasise our local share in the exhibition, because I regard it as an earnest of the part which Hongkong, with its unique position and experience as a trading centre in the Far East, can play in promoting the know- ledge of
this
new development in the industrial activities of the United Kingdom and the possi- bilities it
It opens up.
From what I have just said, I hope you will begin to ap- preciate the importance of this exhibition in the
every day life of the Colony, and that you will urge
your familles
and
friends to como along and penetrate for themselves, little way at least, behind the curtain which hás
