ROTARY CLUB BACKING SCHEME.
COMMUNITY SERVICE.
The Rotary Club of Hongkong intends to put into effective prac tice its motto. "Service before Solf," and is to do so by support- ing a scheme for the provision of two new playgrounds in Victoria.!
In the interest of community service, the Club yesterday ogroed to proposals to make application for the use of Blake Gardens and part of the Praya East Reclama- tion for this purpose, and to tunke itself responsible for the equip- ment of such playgrounds. The expense in this connexion is to be borne by the Individual membara of the Člab, upon whom will be imponed a levy.
In a report on the subject the Community Service Committeo stated that in the Central district there are 8.000 school boys, ond in the Eastern district 5,000, without playing facilities, although in both districts there are small playgrounds available. What is Beeded 18. that some organisation should takoquip the management of them. In addition to school toys there are thousands of less for- tunate children who iнo facilities for play.
