RECORD ATTENDANCE AT GOV'T PAVILION
More Visitors Expected Before C.M.A. Fair Closes
The Government pavilion at the Chinese Manufacturers' Association
Exhibition has proved to be a tremendous success as reflected in the
record attendance figures and comments and questions raised about the
various models displayed on Government's major plans for the future.
Up to last night (January 4), an estimated 1,300,000 people
had been to the pavilion the highest number ever -- and an estimated
100,000 more are expected to visit it before the Exhibition closes next
Monday.
The pavilion has acheived another distinction -- a silver cup was
awarded to it for being one of the cleanest within the exhibition compound.
As in previous years, a big attraction, especially to children,
is the permanent cinema in the centre of the pavilion showing films of
general interest about Hong Kong.
Visitors are also showing keen interest in the models of future
housing projects which illustrate the Government's plans in this field
over the next ten years.
In support of the current Fire Prevention Campaign, each visitor
to the pavilion is handed a leaflet listing some simple rules to help
prevent fires.
