THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1974.
ORDINARY SCHOOL PLACES WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, BUT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP AND OTHER PILOT PROJECTS OUTSIDE THE SYSTEM HAVE ALSO BEEN LAUNCHED.
THE SECRETARY FOR HOME AFFAIRS ALSO REVEALED THAT THE GOVERNMENT PLANNED TO SET UP AS MANY MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS AS THE CAPACITY OF THE HOME AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT ALLOWS. HE DESCRIBED THE MAC AS AN ORGANISATION WHICH WAS OF GREAT VALUE TO CITY DWELLERS.
EXPERIENCE HAD SHOWN, HOWEVER, THAT PEOPLE IN MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS HESITATED TO APPROACH EACH OTHER TO FORM MACS AND THAT A CATALYST WAS NECESSARY. IN THIS CASE THE CATALYST IS THE PERMANENT AND PART-TIME STAFF OF THE DEPARTMENT.
MR. BRAY ADDED THAT THE PROBLEM MUST BE APPROACHED WITH A CERTAIN DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT NUMBERS ARE NOT ACHIEVED AT THE EXPENSE OF QUALITY.
