Thursday, October 26, 1972

In the past four years, a total of 763 disabled were admitted into

the Centre for training or sheltered work, and 221 were placed in "open"

employment.

At tomorrow's ceremony, Mrs. Marden will present certificates of

merit to 12 manufacturers as a recognition of their community spirit in

engaging the largest number of disabled for their factories.

Many industrialists, commercial firms and government departments

have also taken on the disabled for a variety of tasks.

"It is hoped," says Mr. Ko, "that these awards will stimulate other

employers to do the same."

After the ceremony, the Centre will be opened to the public, from

11 a.. to 12.30 p.m., and then again from 2 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

Note to Editors:

You are invited to have the opening

ceremony covered. This is to start at 10.30 a.m. The Centre is located at 487 Kwun Tong Road,

junction of Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong.
