A strong determination to resist any possible relapse into the habit of taking drugs is a prerequisite to his success in regaining his normal self again, and thus leading a happy normal life, like everyone else. Between 1961 and 1966, the Society had discharged a total of 1,113 drug addicts. During that period, the treatment centre could only accommodate 250 patients at a time. Today as a result of recent

(a) Hong Kong Society for RenabilitatiON

In a community such as Horig Kong where Industry flourishes, it is not uncommon to hear of workers engaged in industrial undertakings being injured or killed while at work. Although legislation has provided ways of protection for our workers, such as constant supervision of places of work by Labour Officers from the labour Department, industrial acundonte still happen from time to time.

If his injuries are not so fatal as to cauve him to be crippled for life, then an injured worker is handicapped for a time only. During this ~period of recovery it is necessary to enable him to -rogain his confidence and his former skill. Help and

sympathy are most neaded by him at this time. But who can give him help and sympathy?

It is to fulfil this function, that the

Hong Kong Society for Hehabilitation was formed in the . middle of 1959, and to this day, its work has since. been recognised as a vital contribution to the stability and development of our community.

The great number of advertisements in a

newspaper are our next source of guidance. We can

aich: fundamentally three

The first vital fumetion of a newspaper 13 to keep the public curately informed of hat is, and has been, going on in the compura ty. This function can eliminate any unwarranted misunderstanding between citizens and, more significant, between the people and the government.

Recently one nas propadly neard of the existence, of the "information gap between Government and the people, The Commission of Inquiry into Kowloon riots that took place in April, 1966) in its report has pointed out that the press can close this "gap" very effectively, not that local newspapers are not exercising this function afficiently, but that unay can do much more than what they are presently doing.

Information in a newspaper invariably comes to us in the form of local and foreign news. The latter is supplied to local newspam rs by international newa agencies such as Reuters, the Agence France Fresa and the Associated Press,

The Government Information pervices nas a18o the responsibility of releasing Government information to local newspapers so that through the latter the public, can understand what Government's policies are and the work that is now being done in our community.

There are many instances where the public can derive a wealth of information from a newspaper. Feature writers are often commissioned by a newspaper to write articles of topical and human. interest. Interviews of celebrities and state dignitaries are often published in detail in taa press.

The next vital function or a newspaper 18 to guide the public in the way they think and the way they react and respond to currant events and situations. A classic example of the way this function is fulfilled is found in the editorial which is a colum that appears in every issue. newspaper, and which is written by a senior experienced journalist, normally the editor #associated..
