DYSENTERY SCOURGE

(Continued from Page 1)

should have thought it better journalism to have gone to the greatest trouble locally to ascertain what the people's reactions were before troubling about what people in safe London thought.

However, it has been stated that no protests have been lodged at Home concerning the manner in which the Administration has treated the public over this dysentery outbreak. I have every reason to believe that through Naval and Military channels protests are being made in the right quarters, and it only needs a little backing in this Colony to see the creation of a Com- mission of Inquiry, –

I would suggest that you, in your official capacity as Editor, send the relevant sections of your paper to the Colonial Office. I know that many residents have been sending Home clip- pings of your vigorous comments and informative reports on the progress of this trouble, but a file coming ometally from the Editor of a newspaper which fully recognises its responsibility to the public would have a very good effect

Yours falthfully,

"Start On A New Policy"

[The Editor. "Hong Kong Daily Press."]

"FOLLOW-UP.”

Dear Sir,--Most of the letters on this dysentery outbreak are of an adversely critical nature I have read very Httle of a constructive nature, but as far as the Administration is concerned.

I have read much of a vindictive character, mainly directed against one or two medical officials. Suppose we recognise that it is in the nature of things buman to err occasionally?

Now, what of the future? Surely that's the point. If a blunder has been made, then wipe the slate clean and start on a new policy. I presume that is the purpose behind those searching questions which the doctors on the Urban Council will ask it to-morrow's (Tuesday's) meeting. I hope for everyone's sake that the replies will be prompt and explicit.

Yours sincerely.

* FAIRNESS.”

"More Modern Method Of Administration” ·

[The Editor, "Hong Kong Dally Press."]

Dear Sir,-Perhaps on the surface it does not seem that the rumpus caused over this dysen- tery trouble will go very far, but to my way of thinking it has started a train of thought which will lead to definite agitation for some mare modern method of administration than that which we tolerate.

To put it mildly, it is as at present feudal."

it

This dysentery, scourge has taken seven lives that we know of; it has been almost three weeks since the outbreak was detected; yet the Governor elects to wait for a meeting of the Legislative Council before the public can be told what their "servants" have been doing to trace the cause of the trouble.

This sort of thing would not be tolerated for one moment in a Dominion. and it is when we take this treatment without public protest that it is understandable why so many people in. the Dominions refer to "Colonials" with a slight speer.

Yours truly

“SAFETY

Week. Let a Safety rear be the real aim-and with it a big re- duction in road casualties.

The efforts of the authorities to

undertaken

educate the Hong Kong public in developing a "road sense;" adopted a concrete form yesterday when "Safety First". Week was initiated under the supervision of the Po- lice Department. Elaborate, pre- parations have been during the past few weeks in order to launch the campaign which is directed against both motorists and pedestrians alike. The drive is the most comprehensive one to be staged in the Colony.

CINEMA CAMPAIGN

TWO

cinema films have been prepared to illustrate Safety First lessons. The first or these is of 16 mm width and will be screened out of dooTS at public plares about the Colony. The film was produced by the Sking Kam Moy- ing Picture Company. The other film is being shown at all local theatres on various dates through out the week and the following programme of showing has been arranged: Cheung Lok, Dec. 1; Oriental, Nov. 23; Grand, Nov. 28; Pei Ho, Nov. 26; Ming Sing, Nov. 28; New Kowloon, Dec. 1; Man Ming, Nov. 30; Koon Chung, Nov. ; Kwong Chee.

Arrangements are being made to show the im at later main theatres at the dates.

I

As in previous campaigns "post-

concede they are he works of art. It must be remembered that s large portion of the working com-

munity is bliterate. Such people can be reached by illustrations. gathered So when a group is round one of these posters we can help by explaining ita messe. We can also help by checking people from destroying or inter- fering with these posters.

Handbills with various slogans and directions will be distributed by Police on duty. I ask pedes- irians to take due note of them.

SCHOOL ASSISTANCE Short lectures will be given and a short Safety First Film exhibited in schools. I ask senior scholars, whether boys or girls, to make it their business to help younger boys. and girls understand rules of the
