The Deputy Director of Social Welfare, Mr. Thomas C.Y. Lee,

joined Mrs. Marden in congratulating the recipients of the certificates of

merit for their public spirit, and he hoped these "trail blazers" would

as "serving to confirm the Government's determination to provide adequate

welfare services for the disabled in Hong Kong.
