MALARIA IN KOWLOON

TONG

BAD NEAR THE HILLS. NULLAH THAT

NEEDS ATTENTION

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTY

The question of malaria in Kow- loon Tong has been the subject of much discussion between residents in that part of Kowloon for some time past.

There are some who

hold the view that the disease is "non-existent in Kowloon Tong; others hold that there is far too touch of it, and when one goen into the matter, odd though it may seem, it would appear that both schools of thought are right.

In the lower sections of Kowloon Tong, near Prince Edward Road, no malaris, but there is little or when one gets further into the

lace, there is plenty of it.

Ir is gratifying to know that action has last been taken in the matter of providing playing grounds for Kowloon and poor children in other parts of the Colony. The meeting recently held at the Public Works Department, at which it was unanimously decided to inaugurate a Playing Fields Association, is a

the welcome sign of

changed attitude of the official as well as the non-official element towards this It would be very essential need. interesting to learn whether this decisive step was the result of articles in the Press, and dis- cussions at the Kondoon Residents Association meetings, at which the question, of the allotment of definite areas for recreational purposes was aired; if so, it came none too soon. It is curious how months, often years of agitation and propaganda are necessary for the introduction.

I called on the Malaria Bureau of of any reform; yet equally curious the Government Medical Depart is that the force, which some call ment and was very courteously in public opinion, accumulates and formed by the gentleman in charge grows until it has assumed such that there had been several com importance that officialdom is ob plaints about malaria in Kowloon lized to act, one way or the other.

He added, however, that in It is to be hoped that the many the bottom of this district, neai ether reforms and improvements Prince Edward Road, there was which Kowloon has been demanding practically no evidence of malaria thrge many years, will be introducut a stated shave, there was ed with similar expedition: "

plenty of it near the foot of the bill

One feature of the newly-formed Association which impresser us most favourably is the generous offers of financial support to the playing grounds scheme which have been made, quite spontaneously, by several sports clubs in the Colony, As we have pointed out in previous leading articles on this topic, some of the choicest land in Kowloon is held by private recreation clubs to which the public are not admitted and to which the poor and their children are not eligible for mem hership. The clubs in question have every right to this land, but it seemed a triffè unjust that no provision should have been made for those who cannot afford to be

ing to private clubs. No doubt the aluba themselves realised the position and it says a great deal for their sympathy and good-sports- manship that they should have made so generous a gesture. This spirit af service might be carried even further by individual members of the various clubs offering to build up

the game.. teams for children and generally helping them to acquire knowledge and pro- ficiency in sports. It is useless to turn the average child loose on a field without any rules or instrue- tions, and it is to he hoped that a sports instructor will be available na the ground to teach them the rudementa of organised gaines.

Recently, the disease was so pre- valeat in this part of Kowloon Tong that several complaints were sent in to the Medical Officer of Health who stated that he had passed on the complaints to the proper quar- ters for action.

In the course of a conversation with a prominent local medical inactitioner, I was told that there was plenty of malaria in Kowloon Tong, but he would rather not make any statement. M

send in a report to the Health Officer regarding malaria in Kow loon Tong. Dr. Sousa informed me that as far as he knew, the Kent flond district was the only part of Kowloon Tong affected by this dis- inse, and even then, only those people living in the houses border ing the nullah are troubled by malaria.

Dr. Seusa said that at one period he had se many as eleven patients living in this district and in each case the complaint was' malignant malaria. He accordingly rent a report to the Health Officer and has since received a reply that the matter was being taken up by the proper authorities who had already found out the type of mosquito that "thrived" in this district.

A Pernicious Nuilah.

I asked Dr. Sousa if he did not think it necessary to fill-up the nullah as suggested by one of the residents. but he replied that this could not be done. What could be done, and should be done, added Dr. Sousa, was that the nullah be properly drained, Another useful thing to do would be to pour a generous quantity of oil into the zullah as this would put a stop to the insects breeding.

Danger to tite District,

I sought the view of another eld resident of Kowloon Tong and this gentleman was very much troubled by this mosquito menace. He said that he had stayed on in Kowloon Tong for years in the hope that all the malaria would be wiped out, but year after year the same thing One resident told me that he had happens. If a stop is not rut to been so much bothered by mosquithis, very soon the value of the toes that he has had very little place would diminish and people

would fight shy of it. sleep during the past few weeks. Another said that he had been living in Kowloon Tong for the past five or six years and each year Bees a repetition of the past, so far as the inosquitoe nuisance is concern- ed.

Local Doctor's Opinion.

I sought an interview with Dr. Bernade Sousa on the mailer as I had been told that he subscribed his signature to the petition. Dr. Sousa denied that he was a party to the petition, but he added that sometime ago, he had occasion to

This gentleman was of the opinion that the mosquitoes came from the Taimoshan district and explained that the district praxitically at the foot of this mountain, geta' the full effect of it. He added that a great number of little pools can be found at the foot of Taimoshan and if the powers-that he would only organise A drive and clean-up the place, there will be fewer cases of malaria in Kowloon Tong and in time the disease might soon he non-existed. in what otherwise is a very pleasant residential quarter.
