SOCIAL WELFARE AT AGRICULTURAL SHOW
The Social Welfare Department stall at this year's Agricultural
Show will stress the theme of departmental services and facilities in the
New Territories.
The department will be among eight others taking part in the Show.
The group will be joined by about 30 commercial organisations, making a
total participation of about 40.
The Social Welfare Department's contribution will be in two parts.
One is a stail where items produced by trainees at various homes
and centres will be on display, along with photographs illustrating departmental
activities such as family services, rehabilitation, public assistance, and
probation and corrections.
The latest mobile library to operate in the New Territories will
form a separate display. The Group and Community Work Division maintains
such vehicles, and their task is to bring simple books and the pleasures of
reading to the young in remote rural areas.
י.
Together, the two exhibits will convey the message that the department
is as active in promoting social welfare among the needy in the country as in
the town.
The Agricultural Show, from December 8 2 11, will be held on the
Sek Kong Airstrip. It will be officially opened by the Governor, Sir Murray
MacLehose.
The last show was held in 1969.
