9. Theatres showed a large Safety First Film at their performances. There are now two copies of this film. One was shown in Hong Kong and one in Kowloon, each theatre taking the film for one or more days to show at each performance. Safety First slides were also shown among advertisements in theatres.
10. The small Safety First Film, followed by a lecture, was well received by the public in open spaces at night.
11. School children were marched to theatres in the forenoons where the Safety First Film was shown and a lecture given. All schools could not be attended to this year, but this item should receive more attention in future.
12. There are no noticeable results of these campaigns at present, but it is believed that they have influenced younger people and the results will be apparent later on.
13. Valuable assistance was given by all theatre owners and managers, and by a few firms and individuals but a greater measure of public support is required.
14. The campaigns are of value. They require a greater expenditure of money, more organisation, more attractive posters and pamphlets. Intensive and novel efforts among the school and street children should be explored.
15. Silver Jubilee Celebrations.-On May 6th, 7th and 8th, Hong Kong, with the rest of the British Empire, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Accession to the Throne of His late Majesty King George V.
16. The Chinese population entered whole-heartedly into the celebrations and it was estimated that about 200,000 persons visited the Colony to view and/or take part in the festivities. No less than 83,588 persons were recorded as having arrived in the Colony by river steamers and junks at Connaught Road Praya from 1st to 8th May inclusive, and 34,064 were brought to Kowloon by the Kowloon-Canton Railway during the period 4th to 11th May inclusive.
17. Numerous long processions, organized by the Chinese community were held by day and by night, including Dragons, Playing the Lion and Lanterns. Some of these processions took approximately four hours to pass a given point.
18. Huge crowds, unparalleled in the history of the Colony, thronged the streets and various points of vantage to watch the processions, illuminations, firework displays, night flying displays and the military and naval review.
