RECEPTION AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE

If the weather is bad tomorrow (Wednesday), the reception at Government House may be curtailed in view of the large number of people invited. However, a final decision will be made shortly before 11 a.m.

If those who have been invited are doubtful whether the reception

will be held, they are advised to listen to Hong Kong's broadcasting and television services between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., when an announcement will be made at intervals on whether it will take place as scheduled.

Alternatively they can telephone their City District Office

or their District Office in the New Territories.

Note to Editors:
