What does Belafonte attribute his success to. "I think some artists can attribute their suc- cesses to a particular popularity of a special art or for instance,

Then he answered impatiently...."Look". he be gan, "the one thing that annoys me is that men like Governor type of song.

Mr Belafonte spoke adamant ly but without bitterness.

"Now you may think that it is strange that such big masses of people can find out how I think about them, but none the less it's true."

Mr Belafonte as the King of Calypso, what now do you put as your ambition?

"First of all, the monetary side does not enter the question at all. better films and sing better songs "Simply my ambition is to make and satisfy myself and my public in doing this.

With all your singing and acting do you get time to do anything else?

"Yes I study." What?

"People-the most interesting study of all.

"Right now I'm dying to get out into those streets and see the Chinese people.

I have tried to explain but it has never come out pro- perly in paint so what's the use? Then for a moment Belafonte began un get restless. He Blashed a look at his watch.

"Do you know we've been talking 60 minutes,

"Sixty minutes well spent but I got to gee something of The people."

With that we both rose, shook handla and parted.. Belafonte to see his people.... and me to write about one of the most intelligent persons I have ever met.

WAS CHALLENGING THE GIANBLED, ROCKED RACE AT SARATOGA GAME

·Hongkong's population problem was graphically illús- trated by Sir Sik-nin Chau in a pre-recorded broadcast on Friday night in which he appealed for funds for the Hongkong Family Planning Association.

He said:

"When the Colony was liberated In 1945. It was estimated that the population was less than half a million. Today it is ecmewhere in the region of 3,000,000 and possibly when the census is completed, I may well prove to be much more.

"What does this mean in effect? It means that today we have 6 children looking for school places for every one seek- ing admission to school in 1945,

"It means that for every hospital bed in 1945 we need 6 now to provide the same proportion of in-patient treatment for the sick,

"It means we need six times the amount of housing, six Limes the amount of water, six times everything if we are to ensure for our people at least the same standards' us prevalling in 1945.

were

"Well, you might say to yourself, surely we are doing that and even mare now? Everywhere we go we see blocks of flats being put up and the buildings get higher and higher; we seem to read almost weekly of a new school being opened; and we hear all the time of new and bigger hospitals,

"Yes, loo true. Government, public bodies and private enterprise are all concentrating on doing what they can to meet the needs of the community, but as fast as we build, as fast as we expand, we find our population growing even faster. "Just take the case of water. I remember when we were planning for the Tai Lam Chung reservoir being told by our engineers that it would provide as much water as all, our other reservoirs put together, and we naturally assumed we would enjoy twice as much water, have twice as many hours

of water supply as we had been accustomed to.

"Fer a short time our expectations were realised, bui where are we today? Right back where we were before the Tai Lam Chung scheme came into being. This graphically Illustrates my point,
