MR. CHAM SAID THAT DURING THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS LOCAL RESIDENTS WOULD BE ENTERTAINED TO A TOTAL OF 80 PROGRAMMES INCLUDING ANTI-DRUG EXHIBITIONS, LECTURES, SEMINARS, COMPETITIONS, FILM SHOWS, VARIETY SHOWS, RECREATIONAL AND ATHLETIC EVENTS, AND VISITS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION INSTITUTIONS.
COLOURFUL ANTI-DRUG BANNERS AND POSTERS WILL BE ON DISPLAY THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
MORE THAN 50 000 ANTI-DRUG LEAFLETS AND BULLETINS WILL ALSO BE DISTRIBUTED DURING THE CAMPAIGN PERIOD.
+THE WAN CHAI DISTRICT ANTI-DRUG CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE HAS DEVOTED MORE THAN THREE MONTHS' HARD WORK IN THE PLANNING AND ORGANISATION OF THE PROGRAMMES AND HAS MOBILISED THE MANPOWER AND RESOURCES OF PRACTICALLY ALL LEADING ASSOCIATIONS, SCHOOLS, YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRES AND COMMERCIAL ORGANISATION IN THE DISTRICT.
+THE COMMITTEE, OF COURSE, WORKS CLOSELY WITH AND HAS THE FULL SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE FROM ACAN AND VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS CONCERNED WITH ANTI-DRUG EFFORTS.
+1 AM CONFIDENT THAT THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS, MR. CHAM SAID.
MR. PETER LEE, WHO WAS ALSO SPEAKING AT THE CONFERENCE, SAID THAT THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CAMPAIGN WERE TO APPEAL FOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND SUPPORT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DRUG ABUSE PROBLEM, TO DISSUADE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM EVER EXPERIMENTING WITH DRUGS AND TO URGE ADDICTS TO COME FORWARD FOR TREATMENT.
DURING THE CAMPAIGN PERIOD, INTENSIVE PUBLICITY WILL BE MOUNTED ON TELEVISION, RADIO AND IN THE PRESS TO GIVE A WIDER COVERAGE TO THE ANTI-DRUG MESSAGE, PARTICULARLY TREATMENT FACILITIES AVAILABLE AT THE MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT'S 20 METHADONE TREATMENT CENTRES CONVENIENTLY LOCATED ON HONG KONG ISLAND, IN KOWLOON AND THE NEW TERRITORIES.
HE SAID THE WAN CHAI CAMPAIGN WILL BE THE FIRST OF THREE INTENSIVE DISTRICT COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT CAMPAIGNS TO BE ORGANISED THIS YEAR (1979/80) BY THE ACAN.
+THE SECOND ANTI-DRUG DISTRICT CAMPAIGN WILL BE HELD IN MONG KOK, KOWLOON, BETWEEN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER AND THE THIRD IN TSUEN WAN IN THE NEW TERRITORIES BETWEEN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER.
+THIS YEAR'S CAMPAIGN WILL AGAIN BE TARGETED AT MORE THAN 1 000 000 RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE THREE DISTRICTS,+ MR. LEE SAID,
