BOOKLET TELLS ABOUT SHA TIN BOARD WORK

*****

A 16-PAGE BOOKLET OUTLINING THE MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE SHA TIN DISTRICT BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS HAS JUST BEEN PUBLISHED.

PRINTED IN ENGLISH AND CHINESE, THE BOOKLET HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY THE SHA TIN DISTRICT OFFICE AT A COST OF $50 000, DRAWN FROM THE LOCAL DISTRICT BOARD FUND.

IT GIVES A SUMMARY OF THE WORKS OF THE BOARD AND ITS NINE COMMITTEES BETWEEN APRIL 1982 AND DECEMBER 1983.

THE NINE COMMITTEES ARE INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE, CULTURAL AFFAIRS, TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT, FINANCE, RECREATION AND SPORTS, DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING, HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE, SOCIAL SERVICES, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT.

THE DISTRICT OFFICER, MR DONALD TSANG, SAID THE BOOKLET WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL VEHICLE IN ENCOURAGING RESIDENTS TO TAKE PART IN THE COMING REGISTRATION OF VOTERS AS WELL AS NEXT YEAR'S DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS.

+RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK OF THE DISTRICT BOARD AND ITS ACHIEVEMENTS WITHIN A SHORT SPAN OF TWO YEARS, HE SAID.

COPIES OF THE BOOKLET, TOGETHER WITH A COLOURFUL POSTER FEATURING A CARTOON HORSE, WILL ALSO BE DISTRIBUTED TO LOCAL ORGANISATIONS, MUTUAL AID COMMITTEES, VILLAGE OFFICES AND SCHOOLS.

+A HORSE, WHICH SYMBOLISES VITALITY AND NOBILITY, IS BEING USED IN OUR LOCAL REGISTRATION CAMPAIGN, MR TSANG ADDED.
