NEED FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO HELP IN CAMPAIGNS

Young people can make a significant contribution to the "Keep Hong Kong Clean" and the "Fight Violent Crime" Campaigns initiated by the government and the community.

Speaking to students at the graduation ceremony of the Ju Ching Chu English College today, the District Commissioner, New Territories, Mr. I.F.C. Macpherson, said he noted that the aim of the college was "cultivating useful citizenship."

"Your education to date will go a long way towards fitting you for employment in the community, but formal education in itself does not make citizens out of you," he said.

Mr Hacpherson urged the students to do what they can to support the two public campaigns "as a useful citizen should do in order to make Hong Kong a happier, cleaner and safer place to live in.'

agreed in principle to grant a free site for the project.
