$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.
