PRISONS STAFF BACK CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN ****

MORE THAN 80 OFF-DUTY PRISON OFFICERS FROM STANLEY PRISON TOOK PART IN A CLEANING OPERATION AT THE STAFF QUARTERS AREAS IN STANLEY TODAY (SATURDAY) IN SUPPORT OF THE CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN.

THE VOLUNTARY DRIVE WAS LED BY THE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF PRISONS, MR R.W.B. HIGGINBOTTOM, AND SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT OF STANLEY PRISON, MR FRANCIS WONG. THE CLEANING OPERATION STARTED

AT 11 AM AND LASTED UNTIL 4 PM.

THE WHOLE CLEANED AREA HAS A POPULATION OF 3 000 STAFF MEMBERS OF THE PRISONS DEPARTMENT AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND COVERS ABOUT 2 900 SQUARE METRES, WHICH INCLUDED THE STAFF MARRIED QUARTERS, SINGLE OFFICER BARRACKS, COMMUNAL AREAS, RECREATION HALL, PLAYGROUND AND THE BEACH BEHIND STANLEY PRISON.

TO SUPPLEMENT THE EVENT, AN ESSAY COMPETITION ON HOW TO KEEP HONG KONG CLEAN WAS HELD FOR CHILDREN OF THE STAFF IN TWO AGE GROUPS, FROM NINE TO 12 AND 13 TO 15. ATTRACTIVE PRIZES WERE AWARDED TO THE WINNERS.

IT IS HOPED THAT THE CLEAN STANLEY DRIVE WILL ENCOURAGE OTHER SECTORS IN THE COMMUNITY TO DO LIKEWISE IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE MEANINGFUL TASK OF THE ON-GOING CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN, WHICH WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE END OF 1982, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE PRISONS DEPARTMENT SAID.

THE SLOGAN FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR IS +HONG KONG IS WATCHING, DON'T RUBBISH YOUR CITY, HE ADDED.
