CHAI WAN DEVELOPMENT EXHIBITION TO OPEN

A public exhibition showing the past, present and future

development of Chai Wan will be opened tomorrow (Friday) at the

district's Community Centre by Mr. B.A. Bernacchi, a member of the

Hong Kong Housing Authority.

The exhibition "The Changing Face of Chai Wan" has been

organised by the Housing Authority and the City District Office

(Eastern), and includes sections on the present Chai Wan, Chai Yan

in the future, work of the Social Welfare Department, Medical and

Health Department, Police, Fire Services and the Housing Department's

redevelopment programme in Hong Kong.

A special feature of the exhibition will be a life-sized

"mock-up" model of a typical seven-person flet in the recently completed

Hing Wah Estate (Stage II), which now towers over the old Chai Wan.

The model will be fully furnished and will give prospective tonents

an idea of living conditions at Hing Wah (Stage II).

Also at the exhibition will be video-tape film shows of various

problems in Hong Kong, including housing, social welfare, crime and

pollution.

For lighter entertainment during the 42-day exhibition there

will be a junior police call variety show, a karate demonstration, the

Cape Collinson Band and several other displays.

At the opening ceremony Mr. J.V. Williams, Deputy Director (Operations), Housing Department will present prizes to the winners

of a school-children's painting competition which has been run in

conjunction with the exhibition.
