LADY MACLEHOSE VISITS THE "LITTLE PAINTERS "
The heavy downpour this morning failed to dampen the artistic
spirit of about 100 youngsters who were taking part in the "little painters'
competition" in Kowloon Park.
And,equally enthusiastic was Lady MacLehose when she called on
the young artists to see them at work.
Despite the rain, they were keen in showing off their talents
by capturing the scenery of the park from various angles.
Lady MacLehose was delighted to see the high standard of some of
the contestants who are aged between eight and 14.
But she was more surprised by the imagination of a boy who managed
to paint a sun into the cloudy sky.
The children were painting from the corridors of a temporary store
room at the park.
Lady MacLehose was accompanied by Mrs. Helen Yu, City District
Officer, Yau Ma Tei, and kaifong leaders.
The contest marks the beginning of the summer youth programme jointly
organised by the Yau Ma Tei/Tsim Sha Tsui District Youth Recreation Co-ordinating
Committee and the Yau Ma Tei City District Office.
The competition aims at promoting artistic talent and fostering
individual interest in painting.
