SOCIAL DISEASES.
COMM138ION'S TISK IN
HONGKONG.
LECTURES WITH CINEMA FILMS.
Meetings will be held during this week by the members of the Eastern Commission of the British National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases, who arrived in Hongkong some days ago, for the purpose of discussing with doctors, nurses, chemists, parents, and others the best methods of dealing with the problem.
The members of the commission
are Mrs. Neville Rolfe and Dr. Rupert Hallam. As a first step they will get in touch with the Govern. ment agencies having to do with the maintenance of the public health, and with their co-operation endeavour to have a local commission appointed to inquire into the prevalence of social diseases. They will urge the abolition of houses of ill-fame, and encourage the provision of free medical treatment for all sufferers from such diseases.
A series of lectures, illustrated by cinema films, will be given at the office of the Sanitary Board to-day, and on January 5, 7, and 10, at 6 p.m., invitations to which have been circulated by the Director of Education. Mrs. Rolfe, the Educa- tional Commissioner of the Commis- sion, has been asked by the Head- master of the Kowloon British School to address a meeting of parents in the schoolroom on Thurs
day at 6 p.m.
