STAFF WELFARE
359. The office staff employed in the main Government Offices block enjoyed the amenities of the communal canteen on the lower ground floor, and the recently opened Waterworks canteen at the Bullock Lane Depot proved popular.
Sports, Picnics, etc.
360. Teams from the various sub-departments competed in local football and athletic competitions as well as for departmental trophies, including the 'Littlejohn' Trophy for table tennis, the 'Mirams' Challenge Shield for Football and the 'Woodman's' Challenge Cup for miniature football.
361. Probably the most successful was the Electrical and Mechanical Office, which won the Third Division Championship of the Hong Kong Football Association without incurring a single defeat and as a result was promoted to the Second Division. This same office entered three teams for the 'Littlejohn' Table Tennis Trophy and again had the honour of winning it with their crack 'C' team, the runner-up being the Port Works Office.

Welfare Officers
