$1 MILLION GRANT FOR SUMMER YOUTH ACTIVITIES
The Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club has made a generous grant of
more than one million dollars for this year's summer youth activities.
Speaking at a reception this (Friday) afternoon, the Chairman
of the Central Co-ordinating Committee for Youth Recreation, Mr. P.B. Williams,
said this sum of money has enabled the Committee to recommend a sizable
percentage of the financial requirements necessary for the organisation
of the programme.
Mr. Williams said that publicity arrangements this year are
intended to reach young people from all walks of life.
Besides regular publicity through press releases, films, radio
slogans, stickers and advertisements, a special booklet will be prepared
to enable youngsters to locate the youth centres within their own district
and join in the activities of their choice.
A specially equipped mobile team will also visit industrial
areas to give out information of the programme to young factory workers.
Release time: 7.00 p.m.
