Mr. Wang also urged that a Council for Physical Recreation be

formed immediately.

He envisaged such a Council to be not just an addition to the

organisation already in existence, but rather an essential means of enlarging

tremendously important for Hong Kong's young people.

of the aged should take first priority. Aged people in need should be

granted better public assistance than the others, and not merely on a

subsistence level.
