A CULTURAL CENTRE

A

Whilst it is true that there are cultural agencies in existence in Hongkong, they Bre relatively few in number, and they are split up into numbers of email organisations, with little contact between one and the other. There Is the Art Club, various photogra- phle societies, the English Aa- sectation, amateur theatrical and musical bodies, and various other activities run in connexion with schools, religious bodies and aimilar organisations. Mr. Hunt would like to see all such interests meeting under one roof and thus bring peoples of all nationali- ties into closer contact one with the other. The Idea is one worthy of being explored to the fullcat extent. May we hope that it will not be allowed to pass into the aphere of well-meant but soon- forgotten projects?

Food for thought is provided in the suggestion advanced by Mr. J. II.
