Comment Of The

Day

Hair-splitting by Stevenson?

the face of it, Mr Adlai Stevenson's latest state-

ment of intentions means that he can be counted out as a contender for the

Democratic nomination. this WAS A But

clarification of an earlier ambiguity, it is rather sur- prising that he did not make himself crystal clear. "I am not a candidate," Says Mr Stevenson, "and i will not seek nomination." The inference is still possible that he could be a candidate if 2 large enough section of the De- mocratic Party asked him to.

A more likely conclusion, however. seems to be that Mr Stevenson and Senator Kennedy have come to an understanding that if the Senator wins the nomina-. tion and goes on to victory

COMBAT SUICIDES

"To be or not to be? That is the question hanging in balance before a person takes his own life-a wide-spread tendency in the Colony.

And here in this metropolitan city a movement was launched yesterday to tip the balance in favour of "to be,"

The Women's Group of the United Nations Associa- tion of Hongkong are organising teams on a Colony-wide scale to combat the numerous suicide attempts which are made every day.

"We are going to advertise a central telephone num- ber, something like 999, simple and easy to remember so that anyone in distress, or anyone knowing someone's life is hanging in balance may call up," said Mrs E. Elliott, Chairman of the Women's Group.

༑";

At the preliminary meeting at the UNHKA last night, a majority of the group expressed the opinion that pre vention is more important than relief in suicide cases.

Mrs Elliott, said the central number, could go a long way towards preventing suicides in the Colony which are happening at the rate of three to 15 cases a day..

"On receiving a call, our trained workers will rush over to give help and bring new hope into the life that would end itself if there were no such assistance," said Mrs Elliott,

Most of the suicides were due to financial difficulties, she said. "Often what a suicide needs is rehabilitation rather than relief a steady job will solve the problem more adequately than temporary relief."

Other reasons are health, love, and crime, she said.

"Failing prevention, the next best thing would be to give a helping hand after the attempt has failed.

To do this, "our organisation will keep in touch and co-operate with the social welfare and church organisa- tions, prisons, police and hospitals,

"At least 40 recruits are needed before any work can be started several weeks later," she said. ›

"

"At present what we need most is qualified social welfare workers who are able to train the new recruits.

"With their help, we can start brief training courses for recruits to equip them with psychological and other approaches to deal with, individual cases."

Mrs Elliott asked social welfare workers and citizens interested in the movement to attend the group's next meeting to be held at 7 p.m. next Tuesday at UNHKA, 2 Wyndham Street, second floor.
