Answers to Questions in Exercise, No. 15

Question: (1) How important is the Governor in relation

to his work and policies?

Answer:

The Governor is not just a figure nead, as the Queen of England 13. He is chiefly responsible for the progress, developmezit and improvement of Hong Kongin the fields of education, nousing, health, and economy; bels also responsible for the maintenance or peace and good order in dong Kong, as well as the maintenance of good:diplomatic relations with the netehbours of rong

The Governor rules Hong Kong on behalf of fer ajesty a

the Queeny for a period of five years, at re end of which he may be reappointed again, depending on his health and his popularity with the people of Hong Kong and those in the Commonwealth Office.

It is therefore apparent that if a person 13 appointed to rule Hong Kong and if he does not know, previous to his appointment; the conditions that exist in the country, he would turn out to be a useless. ruler.ts may even hamper the progress that has been. going on in the country since the administration of his predecessor.

The Governor formulates policies xor the country. His policies are primarily aimed at improving the lives. of the citizens by raising educational standards. seminating poverty and introducing employment opportunities and better medical facilities for everyone. As we do not expect him to possess accurate: and apecialized knowledge of all matters affecting hia administration, he is free to appoint eminent experta in verious fields to serve as his advisers. He pàs therefore a legal adviser (the Attorney-General), a financial adviser (tne Financial Secretary), a military adviser (the Commander, British Forces), an adydsen on Chinese affairs (the secretary form Chine se Affairs), an adviser on government affairs (the Colonial secretary) and 6 prominent citizens from The various communities. His advisers are grouped together. to form his "Cabinet", known as the Executive Council..

The policies of the Government are essentially the policies of the Governor. Should any policy prove to he bad the Governor is logically the person to whom all criticisms are directed, de alone carries the blame. Thus, aryone occupying the governorship of Hong Kong should be a man of great intellect, wisdom and anderstanding; he has to possess organizational and leadership abilities. It is he who leads the country from strength to strength. His importance is reflected by the great deference and respect the citizena give hin

The Governor makes laws for the country. It is - not wrong to say that the laws of Hong Kong are the Governor's Laws, Again he may need expert advice in his work as fong Kong's lawmaker, he has therefore tha Legislative Council to guide and assist him. If the Governor thinks that certain. things need to be improved. be may pass a law. For instance if the problem of juvenile delinquency in the country deteriorates, it is necessary for him to pass a law to introduce harsher punishment as a deterrent. The enactment of the Emergency regulations in 1967 because of the llsturbances that occurred in the year is another example of the necessity of passing a law, on the other hane, it may be necessary to repeal a law when it does not. serve the purpose for which it was originally passed, Again, we ses that in 1969. the Governor

repealed the Emergency Regulations, when there were signs of the: return of the community to normal conditions.

The Governor's policies are carried out by the Civil Service, that organization that is made up of the Government departments. His instructions are conveyed from his chief spokesmany the: Colonial Secretary, to the Heads of the various departments, and these heads, in turn, pass his instructions, dow. to their men. To ensure that his instructions are carefully and loyally carried out, the Governor has to review the work and progress of each department from time to time. He holds discussions with heads of the warious departinenta occasionally, and in so doing he also makes known his wishas and thoughts.

it goes take an interest in the work of the ordinary citizen, for the progress of the country does not depend on the work of Government alone, or any one individual, but averyone. Thus to show his interest in the work or everyone, the Governor will try to give as much encouragement to the work of the citizens. Of course f it is possible he would like to meet every citizen, but we know as well as he does, that he can't, so that the most the Governor can do is say attend axi exhibition at the City Hall, visit the Hong Kong University or make a speech at a public ceremony. In. the period of his rule, thousands of citizens in Hong Kong will no doubt be able to see him. Thus, we can say that the Governor is also an important social figure.

othout saying that the Governor mist

The Governor is also an important figure because It is he who has the greatest influence over the way pub.ltd revenue is to be used by the Government departments in careying out the various activities. The Governor can also decide whether there should be any increase in the taxes in accordance with the advice of the Financial Secretary, and also of course with the advice and consent of the legislative Council.

"moreover, is empowered by Article The Governor, LIV of Letters Patent to "constitute and appoint all such Judges, Commissioners, (and) Justices of the Peace, " whenever he thinks necessary. He, however, as to consult the Chief Justice on his appointment of these people to ensure that only the best qualified are appointed.

The amportance of the Governors can chus be compared to that of the head of the family, for his policies and his work areaimed at improving the conditions of the country, as the family head works to raise the family in a happy and healthy environment

Question: 42) Give an account of the work and function

of the Social Welfare Department.

Answer:

Poverty exists in many forms and in many places Through the ages Stories of people hit by natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, fires and house:: collapse, of families whose breadwinner's are struck by tragedies, of people born crippled or deformed ara end less. The government of the country has to Look: after these people; failing to give all assistance possible to enable them to lead a happy, healthy life as led by normal people would bring strong criticisms from the community..

In Hong Kong, the' Social We rare ve partient existe to do just this and its work: is therefore no easy task, considering the fact that there are as many poor people es there are rich. There are three principal fields of work dòne by the social kelfare Department. They are child: and youth welfare services, specia). welfare services and relief work. and we shall tackle each in detail..

may hur series are run by the Child Weifare Section. inese nurseries accept children whose mothers have to. leave them while they go to work. In each nursery the children are taught, fed and brought up as they are at home. These children, in fact, grow up in a healtheir atmosphere as there are properly. trained nurses to look after them. They also learn to live study and plav with children of their own age.

: Children Found in public places are also brought to the Social welfare Department, whose case workers, with the help of the palice, try to trace the parents of these children. The Social welfare Department will also consider subsequent adoption of these children by decent. families. There are also voluntary organizations doing. similar work, end to ensure that there is no conflict or undue overlapping in the work dorie by these organizations, the Child Welfare Section has kept @lose contact with these organizations.

Youg women who have loat their homes, or who have been convicted of criminal offences, are of special interest to the Social welfare lepartent,"However bad 1 person is, he or she is capable of being reformed" is the firm belief of many a social worker and id is. this belief that has perhaps inspired their work, and when this belief turns out to be true, that is the way the social workers are rewarded, Thus, it can be clearly. sean that the establishment of the Social welfare

Department 18, among other deals, to develop a better society for all of us to live, and to enjoy a happy and healthy life.

Such women as we have described are gaven proper care and protection by the Women's and wirlsl Section: which runs training centres. Girls who have been immorally brought up; through their daily contacts with the "bad elementsy of suciety, notably the ateddy" bors and girls or members of "triady societies are patiently rehabilitated. They are shown how to lead a decent life; they are also given courses which will promise them a working place in society when they leave the centre. If these girls are homeless, the Social

elfare Department will try to arrange another voluntary organization such as the Y.W.C.A. or the ro Leung Kuk to accommodate them. Commercial subjects such- as typing, secretarial practices, stenography and certain trades like tailoring and laundering are taught at the day training centres.

Young people who are unable to attem scnçois, run the risk of not only wasting but also

apare time. They may turn to evt do their

and thereby

cause the problem of juvenile delinquency in Hong Kong to deteriorate. Thus the Youth Welfare Section: organizes youth clubs to provide educational recreations for Hong Kong's under privileged yourns. Sport's like badminton, volley-ball, basket-ball.: fending, athletics are organized for them. Organizations that provide similar youth activities such as the Boys and Girls Clubs Association, the Scouts, the Girl Guides, Y:M.C.A. and the Federation of Youth Groups, have kept close contact with the Youth Welfare Section, again to prevent any overlapping in their work.

Very often the magistrate in the court is undecided. about the proper course of action he should take when trying the case of a juvenile delinquent, He therefore geeks the help of the Social welfare Department. There are specially trained social warkers: known as probation officers who will, at the request of any magistrate or judge, write reports of the family background of the accused and the circumstances surrounding his crime

The probation officers can recommend to the court the proper course of action to take. Often these juvenile delinquents are placed under probation, which means that during a certain period the delinquent is assigned to a ̇particular probation officer who will try to reform him. Sometimes the delinquent, is sent to a reformatory school, run by the Probation Section.

: Anather section of the Social welfare Department, the Special Welfare Services Section, looks after physically handicapped people. This section assists and trains them to overcome their handicap, and often, the social workers are assisted by the Medical and Health Services Department which gives advice on treatment or therapy

Social weTare workers attached to the rmergency. helief Section offer assistance to victims of natural disasters. They register these victim, give them food. blankets and emergency shelter. The nesettlement: Department will later provide these viotims accommodation. The Outdoor Relief Section runs welfare centres which supply free meals for the needy and destitute people. Those who have their own cooking facilities are supplied with dry rations, At North Point and Morrison Hill are two relief campa which are run by the helief: Camps Section.. These two camps are home for the aged, the blind, the
