Question (1) Give an account or the work

and fuctions of the Uzban Services Department..

Answer:-

Public health is vitally significant. to everybody, for it ensures that our personal welfare and efficiency can be maintained. Sickness is not only pain ful to a person, but harmful to a person working efficiency. Thus to uphold the well-known doctrine that prevention is better than cure we have a Government Department in Hong Kong whose work and functions are related to this popular belief. This department is known as the Urban Services Department.

Services Department is • Por

area 01 forty square miles inhabited by over 3,000,000 people. About 6,000 scaveng→ era are employed to carry out this func- tion. Another 6,000 employees of the department are engaged in other aspecte of work undertaken by the department.

¿

The most obvious taek of the U.5.D. is cleaning the streets and collecting and disposing refuse and nightsoil. U.S.D. workers have to visit public cemeteries, public lavatories and bauni houses and carry out such supervision as required in maintaining cleanliness at all times in such places. At least thirty trucks are used daily to pick up refuse in the urban areas,

Marketé, abattoirs and hawkers also Come under the supervision of the U.S.D. There are two abattoirs-one at Ma Tau Kok and one at Kennedy Town, and these are strictly kept in hygienic conditions to “prevent spread of disease, There áre

roughly about 60,000 hawkers in the urban areas and these have to be superivised lest they would cause obstruction to traffic or spread of disease through their careless handling of refuse. The Hawker Control Force, with a strenth of 400 is responsible for this job. It goes without saying that market-places are the places that encourage the breed- ing of mosquitoes and flies. Thus U.S.D. employees are responsible for seeing that these places are kept clean and that flies and other pests are not allo- wen to breed.

Children's playgrounds, rest garden arks, beaches and swimming pools are 1180 places where refuse may be found. These

About 400 health inspectors, trained locally with an exceptional few sho have been sent to England for advan zed training, are employed in the U.S.D. to maintain standards of hygiene in food. premises (such as factories, bakeries. restaurants and sweet shops.) Food samples from such places may be tee tea For contamination of germs or poison and those who fail to keep their food

their stuffe safe, clean and fresh are prosec- uted. Health inspectors also visit houses and hear complaints.

Pest control is another important work of the Urs.D. Flies and mosquitoes

are a threat to our health and measuras have therefore to be adopted against them. This work is normally carried · out in the outskirts of the urban areas where malaria, mosquitoes and rats abound

Another important function of the Venïde la to administer the City Hall (which comprises the concert hall and theatre, museum and art gallery, Librar- ies including the Cambridge Court in Kowloon.)

The same type of work as carried on the urban areas is also done in the New Territories through a special divia ion which receives instructione direat from the Urban Services Department Head- quarters on Hong Kong Island

The Urban Services Department comes vance the supreme direction of the Urban Council, which, through its 15 Select Committees (each between six and twelv members,) plans policies for the U.S.D.

Question:(2) Account for the increasing

number of traffic accidents in Hong Kong and suggest ways and means to reduce these accidents-

Answer:-

Many factors are attributed to the appalling increase in the number of accidents on Hong Kong roads. In all- fairness, all sections of the community must take a share of the blame.

To pegain with, there nas never been the observance or practice or road" manners in Hong Kong. Our roads are no different to a bloody battle-field in Vietnam where every man is for himself." A little courtesy displayed by everybody goes a long way to reduce the death rate of one every day. Hong Kong people tend to be selfish particularly in the use of our roads. Take the taxi and the mini- bus drivers. They are often desperate and logically reckless. Time is vital to them, so they regard speed as the prerequisite of their daily earninge. The more passengers they can pick or even "pinch" from others within the it operational time, the more auspicious would be their financial rewards at the end of the day.

Lane-jumping is often the cause of multiple collisions or freak accidents. When one, is in a great hurzy, as does the professional driver, one's driving becomes erratic, you can see his car zig-zagging along the road. But non- professional drivers are equally guiltỷ particularly those who think that they are participating in the International Grand Prix at Monte Carlo,

Selfishnese is also reflected in another way. It is common for local motorists to regard one another as an "enemy and the result is that no consid eration is shown to each other, not to say respecte. To see one motorist wai ing willingly and patiently for another who has the right to pass is indeed; as räre sight. Moreover, motorists never appreciate the use of signals either manual or mechanical, Women drivers, unfortunately, are the worst offenders of this malpractice. Halting suddenly, or making a U-turn or getting into anot

er car's path unhesitantly, all done without any signale to show the driver'é intention, is the habit of many a driver

All too frequently one considers the acquisition of a driving licence as the glorious commencement of the interm- ittent violation of the fundamental rule of safe and joyful motoring. It would not be far too wrong to suggest that the licence is a "passport" to the land of Cimmerian darkness. Either the learner drivers, once they have passed their

tests, quickly forget what they have beei taught, things like proper signalling prodedures, observance of, the highway. code and traffic lights, or their instr... Bctors have failed to teach them such things as would reduce the average num ber of 27 road casualties each day. we therefore blame the learner drivers or the instructors? We blame neither one, but both.

Do

Most instructors, apart from teach- ing their pupils to start and stop the car and other allied matters, do not giv their pupils such hints as might help, to increase the pupils' future driving safety and pleasure. How many drivers have heard of the term "de-clutch" until after they have met a nasty accident while behind the wheel of a powerful sports car, for the cause of the accident. was that the driver was unable to get the 3rd gear to the 2nd one in time. Only the technique of "de-clutching". can do it, regardless of what type of sports car one in driving.

Have you

heard of a driverless car rolling down a hill and injuring, if not killing, a few helpless children? Why? Again, the cause can be traced to the carelegenees (or more appropriately. ignorance) of the owner of the car. Although he had locked the hand-brake, he forgot that it might slip into the "off" position when a slight pressure. was applied to the car, or some time a without the application of such pressure Positioning the front wheels pointing towards the kerb if the car is parked on an uphill slops and putting the gear in the first position, can prevent the bar from rolling backwarda should the

It is apparent that the standard of Iriving in Hong Kong must be improved.

rivers must use skill and not instinct in their driving, nor muet they be pers- laded to drive with speed risking their ives and those of others on the roads.

Mechanical failure or faults in ve- 11c1es are another factor which is resp nsible for our road accidents. Goods

ehicles and heavily-laden trucks espac- ally those that frequent the New Ter- itories roads are in very bad shape, mechanically speaking that is, and they normally hold up the traffic. Cara bou- ght from second-hand shops can also be
