GENERAL
THE work of the Information Services Department mirrors the activities and the interests of Hong Kong: a busy modern city dependent through its trade upon its links with the rest of the world. So the department is concerned on the one hand with affairs inside Hong Kong and partic- ularly with its large and vigorous press and its growing broadcasting industry and on the other hand must play its part in maintaining and promoting Hong Kong's image abroad in support of its trading policy.
2. These two functions which are inter-dependent are not functionally separated. The department's Press Division, while it deals mainly with the local press, has also wide daily contact with the international press. Although the Publicity Division is deeply committed to programmes in support of overseas trade and the maintenance of the Colony's image abroad it is equally involved in publicity work on the local scene rang- ing from explanatory films and posters about census-taking to intensive publicity on behalf of public health projects.
3. The events of a year therefore so far as they are reflected in the work of the department are a kaleidoscope of achievements and prob- lems, anxieties and pleasures-in other words a fairly true reflection of life in Hong Kong.
4. The events of the year under review culminated undoubtedly in the visit to Hong Kong at the beginning of March by Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon. The Royal Visit coincided with the opening of British Week in Hong Kong and attracted a great deal of attention in the Colony and abroad as well as providing the department's Press Division with one of its largest tasks for the year. The Royal Visit and British Week represented one aspect of Hong Kong's international trade. The stimulation of our own exports represents another in which the department and particularly its Publicity Division is deeply involved. During the year under review preparations were being made for the re-organization of Hong Kong's export pro- motion activities and the Director of Information Services was a member of the committee which made proposals to the government. Such close consultation with official and unofficial bodies concerned with trade pro-
1
motion enables the department to gear its overseas publicity work to their needs.
5. Another mark of the development of Hong Kong's already sophisticated communications industry was the granting in January 1966 of a licence to a Hong Kong company, Television Broadcasts Limited, to establish and operate a wireless television service. The licence is valid for a period of 15 years, subject to renewal at the end of each five-year period and carries with it an exclusive right to broadcast commercial wireless television for the initial five years. The service is expected to come into operation during 1968 and will be additional to the wired tele- vision service which has been operated by Rediffusion (Hong Kong) Limited since 1957.
6.
All newspapers published in the Colony must be registered with the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs. The fee is $100 a year. In addition, the applicant must deposit $10,000 as surety or provide two acceptable guarantors in this sum. This deposit is a form of protection for the public to ensure payment of fines, damages or costs of a libel action in which a newspaper or publication may become involved.
7. There has been no change in the number of newspapers-55- which cover almost every shade of political opinion. Hong Kong news- papers, all but four of them Chinese language, include large dailies run- ning to 24 or 28 pages a day, some with circulations of over 100,000. Leading Chinese newspapers maintain high standards of foreign news coverage by subscribing to the services of international news agencies. Among leading newspapers the Wah Kiu Yat Po, Kung Sheung Yat Po and Sing Tao Jih Pao publish both morning and afternoon editions. These three papers and the Sing Pao Daily News which does not publish an afternoon edition, are generally non-partisan in politics. The Sing Tao Man Pao is the widest circulated Chinese paper in Hong Kong.
8. Orthodox Chinese Communist policies are voiced in the Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Pao and the New Evening Post while the Hong Kong Times speaks for the Nationalist regime in Taiwan.
9. Several new Chinese daily newspapers began publication during the year. These are: King Post, Afternoon News, Sun Sun Daily News, World Evening Express, Tien Wong Evening News and Seen Sing Pao. An English-language weekly paper, the Asian Weekend, which is the Sunday edition of the Star, also made its appearance. Amony the papers which closed down during the year were the newly-published Sun Sun
2
:
Daily News and the English-language weekly, Hong Kong American. The Seen Sing Pao has since been renamed Ying For Daily News.
10. There are four English-language daily newspapers. They are: the South China Morning Post and the Hong Kong Tiger Standard, both published in the morning, and the China Mail and the Star, both after- noon papers. The Hong Kong Tiger Standard publishes a Sunday edition and the South China Morning Post Limited also publish the weekly 'Sunday Post Herald'.
11. Both Chinese and English-language newspapers are represented on the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong which has 21 members and three associate members.
12.
Overall circulation of the Chinese-language press is estimated to be in excess of 1.4 million. This indicates an availability of newspapers at the rate of about 37 copies for every hundred people as compared with an International Press Institute figure of 40 for every hundred people in Japan and only one copy for every hundred throughout Asia as a whole, excluding China.
13. Hong Kong continues as a base for the South-east Asian opera- tions of all the important news agencies and many international magazines, newspapers, radio and television networks. Although many correspondents have to leave the Colony to cover news events in other parts of the region, their permanent establishment in Hong Kong ensures regular and well-informed attention to Hong Kong affairs in newspapers, magazines and on cinema and television screens all over the world.
14. Mr. N. J. V. WATT, Director of Information Services, went on vacation leave on 26th September, 1965. During his absence, Mr. M. A. B. STEVENSON, Deputy Director of Information Services, who returned on 21st September, 1965 after vacation leave from 16th April, 1965, acted as Director. Mr. N. J. V. WATT resumed duty on return from leave on 11th April, 1966.
15. Mr. D. N. WILLIS, Chief Press Officer, and Mr. Robert SUN Yuan-chuang, Senior Information Officer (Press Officer), acted as Deputy Director of Information Services and Chief Press Officer respectively as from 16th April, 1965. Mr. SUN was promoted to the rank of Principal Information Officer on 23rd July, 1965.
16. Mr. R. W. MCLAREN was appointed Chief Publicity Officer on 20th April, 1965.
3
17. Mr. Richard M. LAI, Principal Information Officer, was on overseas vacation leave from 4th June, 1965 to 2nd September, 1965. During his absence on leave, Mr. David CHEN, Information Officer, was appointed to act in his place.
18. Messrs. P. F. Moss and D. A. MARCHBANKS were appointed Senior Information Officers on 20th June, 1965 and 14th March, 1966 respectively.
19. Messrs. James SA and O. B. TALIP, Information Officers, were appointed to act as Senior Information Officers on 16th April, 1965 and 26th April, 1965 respectively.
20. Mr. J. H. EVANS, Information Officer, was posted to the Hong Kong Government Office in London as Acting Senior Information Officer on 9th August, 1965.
21. Mr. Joseph CHENG Kwo-ping, Information Officer, was posted to Police Headquarters as Press Liaison Officer on 8th September, 1965.
PRESS DIVISION
22. The Press Division supplies news and information to newspapers, magazines and specialist journals and to both local and overseas news- reel, radio and television organizations. A round-the-clock news service in English and Chinese is maintained to meet the requirements of journalists who have to meet various deadlines. The Press Division has immediate contact with all the leading newspapers, agencies and broad- casting services by teleprinter.
23. The Press Division's objective is to facilitate communication between government departments and the public through the mass information media. Frequent use is made of informal press conferences and interviews with heads of government departments and other senior government officers.
24. The Division includes in addition to the press section a reference library and a Radio News Section preparing world and local news bulletins for Hong Kong's three broadcasting and television services.
25. During typhoons or other emergencies, the Press Division is manned continuously to provide a full service of public information through the press and more importantly at such times, over the broad- casting services which remain open throughout the night.
4
26. The heaviest single task for the Press Division during the year was the preparation for the visit of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret. Planning began months before with a view to providing the best possible facilities for newsmen. The visit attracted attention from almost every publication in Hong Kong and from very many abroad. Special arrangements had to be made to meet the requirements of the radio and television reporters and cameramen and newsreels. On as many occasions as possible there were no restrictions on the numbers of reporters and photographers attending. Where it was necessary to restrict numbers there were prior consultations with the various news interests involved. The best measure of the success of this operation was the very wide coverage which newspapers, radio and television stations and newsreels were able to give of the visit.
PRESS ROOM
27. The Press Room is manned by information officers with working experience in journalism. They produce a Daily Information Bulletin containing an average of a dozen news items and articles every day. These range from routine announcements and statistics to major policy decisions and measures. About 6,000 press photographs were distributed locally during the year.
28. News items in English and Chinese are distributed through press boxes to more than 100 newspapers, agencies and periodicals. This system is supplemented by the teleprinter service, which is particularly useful to afternoon newspapers and foreign news agencies with publica- tion deadlines. The teleprinter system which services 42 subscribers, is also used to alert news editors to fires, landslides, house collapses, emergency aircraft landings and other incidents requiring immediate press coverage. About 6,500 items were sent on the teleprinter during the year.
29. The Press Room is constantly in touch with newspapers by telephone, answering press questions over the whole range of government activity. About 10,000 press enquiries were answered during the period under review.
30. Two hundred and fifty-eight interviews, ten press conferences and 14 press visits were arranged by the Press Section to enable journal- ists to meet senior government officers responsible for matters of public interest.
5
31. Daily Press Summaries, providing a digest of comments, news items and letters concerning government which appear in the Chinese press, are prepared by the Press Section for senior civil servants and Members of the Executive, Legislative and Urban Councils.
32. The Press Section distributed many photographs and news and features items on behalf of the United Kingdom Government to publicise the British way of life, new commercial and industrial products and achievements in all fields of endeavour.
RADIO NEWS ROOM
33. The Radio News Section prepares bulletins in English and Chinese for broadcast by Radio Hong Kong, Commercial Radio, Rediffusion and Rediffusion Television. The section is part of the Press Division but works to the requirements of the broadcasting organizations who are its customers. The main sources of news for radio bulletins are two international wire services to which the department subscribes. Reports about government activities are supplied by the Press Section while other events are covered by officers drawn mainly from the Press Section.
34. Ten news bulletins in English and eight in Chinese are prepared daily by the radio news staff. They range from full 10-minute bulletins to one-minute summaries. There is a 10-minute bulletin of world news in the morning, another in the early afternoon and one in the evening devoted to Asian and local news.
35. Daily weather information supplied by the Royal Observatory is transmitted to radio stations and newspapers. Plans were in hand during the year to install a facsimile machine to receive weather maps, diagrams and weather information in Chinese, from the observatory.
REFERENCE LIBRARY
36. The Reference Library provides a reference and research centre, not only for the use of the department, but for local and visiting journal- ists, other government departments and occasionally members of the public.
37. It maintains a comprehensive clipping service and a stock of over 1,500 books and hundreds of magazines, pamphlets and leaflets.

OPENALI
Comprehensive press arrangements were made by the Information Services Department for the visit of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon in March 1966.
Frequent demands are made upon the advice and services of Department's senior staff by visiting journalists, radio commentators and television personalities who come to Hong Kong in large numbers annually. Among those who visited the Department were editors of leading South Korean dailies (seen above). Mrs. Eirene WHITE, then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, arrived in Hong Kong on January 4th, 1966 for a seven-day official visit. On arrival, Mrs. WHITE held an informal press conference at Kai Tak Airport. She told press reporters and radio commentators (seen below) that the main purpose of her visit was to look, listen and learn'.
XOTIN-
HONG KONG FIRE SERVICES
FIRE PROTECTION ON LAND. SEA &
In July 1965 the Hong Kong Fire Services participated in the International Fire Con- ference and Exhibition at Olympia London. The stand, (seen above) designed by the Information Services, included features on the development of the Fire Services and Fire Prevention campaigns. A window in the entrance hall of Beaconsfield House has been adapted for display purposes. Situated as it is on a busy corner in Queen's Road, Central, it is a valuable site for displays about government, community or departmental projects. On this occasion, however, it was used to give Hong Kong people the latest figures in the British General Election.

The Film Unit was engaged on a major production during the year. The feature, starring Miss Nancy KWAN, is based on a local legend. Filmed entirely in colour, the 30-minute feature, entitled 'The Magic Stone', was made on location on one of the outer islands and at sea, and is designed for cinema release throughout the world.
PUBLICITY DIVISION
38. The Publicity Division is responsible for the planning and pro- duction of all visual forms of publicity both locally and overseas. It handles publicity campaigns for all government departments concerned not only with conveying information but also in promoting a better understanding between the public and the government. The division includes sections specializing in different publicity media: advertisement layout and design; the production of printed material; the writing of feature articles; photography; and film-making. Although more than 90 per cent of the population are Chinese, many campaigns are bi-lingual and the message must be adaptable to both the language and design elements. In most campaigns, Publicity and Press divisions work together to use news media as part of the overall coverage.
39. A Chief Publicity Officer was appointed during the year under review to co-ordinate and administer the activities of the various sections in the Publicity Division so that they are more closely integrated for maximum effectiveness.
EDITORIAL SECTION
40. The Editorial Section produces newspaper and magazine feature material for syndication in all parts of the world, supplies the text for publications for both local and overseas distribution, and writes the commentaries for many of the department's films. The section is staffed entirely by professional journalists and its highly successful syndicated feature service is run on exactly the same lines as commercially-operated syndicates.
41. Editorial features range in length from 500 to 3,000 words and cover every facet of life in Hong Kong. Each is illustrated by between eight and a dozen 10 x 8-inch black and white prints, and colour transparencies are also included where appropriate. The features are sent to agents abroad who translate as necessary and offer them for publica- tion at the best price obtainable.
42. It has always been the department's policy to sell its feature material overseas rather than give it away free and results have shown this to be the right approach-leading newspapers and magazines have made consistent and considerable use of the features since the service was started seven years ago. At the same time the highest professional
7
standards must be maintained both in writing and photography, since competition for space in overseas publications is exceptionally keen.
43. The emphasis placed on trade and industrial subjects has been reflected in the overseas feature service and in the booklets produced. Of 36 feature articles produced during the second half of the year, 14 had a direct bearing on trade and industry.
44. One of the Editorial Section's biggest commitments is the provi- sion of material for special supplements on Hong Kong now being produced by leading newspapers in all parts of the world. Supplements were published during the year by, among others, The Guardian, Financial Times, Washington Post and Sydney Morning Herald. A series of special supplements was produced for leading English provincial papers to coincide with a number of Hong Kong 'weeks' being held in leading cities in the Midlands.
45. Towards the end of the year, the section reached its full com- plement of writers for the first time and it became possible to increase the output of both editorial materials which endeavour to give a balanced picture of Hong Kong, explaining its achievements and its remaining problems to readers both at home and overseas.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY SECTION
46. During the year, the Design and Display Section created and processed publicity material for the Medical Services, Police and Fire Services, Marine and Agriculture and Fisheries Departments, road safety drives, civic amenity programmes, public health campaigns, and many other subjects of public interest. Included in the publicity material produced for these campaigns were over 115,000 posters and two million leaflets.
47. The section also designed and produced special advertisements for overseas newspaper supplements. More than a thousand government press advertisements, covering 9,000 insertions, were placed in local English and Chinese-language newspapers. These included the very complex Canton Trust Liquidation and Royal Visit full-page notices.
48. The Mobile Cinema Unit gave 146 film shows in resettlement areas to an estimated total audience of one million residents. This unit has proved to be a very valuable and popular means of public information.
8
PHOTOGRAPHIC SECTION
49. The Photographic Section continues to provide photographic material to a high standard for all official publications, publicity and trade promotion programmes. In particular, the colour photographs for the Colony's Annual Report received high praise from overseas. More than 400 different assignments were completed by the photographers during the year, entailing the production of 26,000 black and white prints and over 5,000 colour transparencies. The most demanding occasion for this section was the visit of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, when 47 assignments in seven days were necessary to give full photographic coverage.
50. The Photographic Library maintains a comprehensive stock of 1,200 show prints, 7,000 issued prints and more than 10,000 colour transparencies covering all aspects of life in the Colony which are regularly used by visiting journalists and others requiring illustrations of life and activity in the Colony.
PUBLICATIONS
51. The Publishing Section is responsible for the design and layout of all booklets and leaflets produced for promotional purposes on behalf of government departments, and for planning their printing in conjunction with the Government Printer.
52. Publications during the year included booklets and folders in full colour for the Trade Fairs at Tokyo and at Sydney and for the Swiss National Fair at Lausanne. 'Made in Hong Kong', a 24-page colour booklet illustrating a range of Hong Kong products, was produced for the Tokyo Fair and subsequently printed in English for general trade promotion. This booklet will be used in Spanish and Swedish language editions for Trade Fairs during the coming year.
53. Another trade publication, 'Opportunity Hong Kong', had to be reprinted after the first 30,000 copies were sold within three months. A fully illustrated booklet on the textile industry was produced with a print order of 30,000 and also a fact sheet on the textile industry with a print order of 10,000.
54. Among several other publications produced during the year under review were 'The Port of Hong Kong', a detailed handbook, fully illustrated in colour, which has met with such demand that a second edition is already in preparation: and a descriptive colour folder giving
9
details, illustrations and statistics of the Plover Cove Scheme. 'Hong Kong for the Businessmen' was also in considerable demand and was distributed in co-operation with commercial interests.
55. The department was again responsible for the preparation, editing and publication, with the Government Printer, of the Hong Kong Annual Report for 1965. The Report, 350 pages in length, was illustrated entirely in colour and has been widely distributed and well received throughout the world.
FILM UNIT
56. The Film Unit continued the policy of making newsreel stories for release in Britain, the Commonwealth and elsewhere overseas. Thirteen such assignments were undertaken, of which four were in colour including items on aircraft engineering in Hong Kong, the furniture industry and the new industrial town at Tsuen Wan. In addition full coverage of the visit of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon was shot and sent to London for newsreel and television use throughout the world. This material was then returned to Hong Kong and a 9-minute film of the visit, entitled 'Princess in Hong Kong', was made and released to between 40 and 50 local cinemas a fortnight after the Princess's departure.
57. Trailers for release throughout the cinemas of the Colony were made to help campaigns against cholera, against indiscriminate use of firecrackers and to support the drive to keep the streets clean and tidy. Material was shot for use at the Lausanne Trade Fair in Switzerland and for television use in the United States during the visit there of two Hong Kong Police-women in connexion with another trade promotion drive.
58. The police training film 'To Serve', mostly shot during 1964-65, was completed and delivered to the Police Training School. A shorter version with a more general type of commentary in English and Cantonese was completed for public showing. A Cantonese commentary, including post-synchronized sequences, was made for a dental hygiene film on behalf of the Medical and Health Department.
59. The major production of the year was a short feature film entitled 'The Magic Stone', running about 40 minutes based on a local legend and starring Miss Nancy KWAN and Mr. LING Yuen. Shot in colour, it was mostly made on an outer island and at sea. Shooting was
10
virtually completed at the end of the year under review and editing and end processes will be completed during the coming year. It is designed for cinema release throughout the world.
FILM CENSORSHIP
60. At the end of March 1966, there were 88 cinemas in Hong Kong -five more than the previous year.
61. Films for public exhibition within Hong Kong are subject to censorship in accordance with the law and must be viewed by the Film Censorship Section which has two theatres for this purpose, one of which is equipped for 16 mm, and the other for 35 mm showings.
62. Films censored between 1st April, 1965 and 31st March, 1966 totalled 2,721 and details are shown in the Appendix to this report. There was a drop of some 27 per cent in Cantonese films submitted for censorship, but this was more than offset by an increase of 130 per cent in respect of Japanese films as compared with the previous year's figures.
LONDON OFFICE INFORMATION SECTION
63. The Hong Kong Government Office in London is administra- tively part of the Commerce and Industry Department but its Informa- tion Section works in close collaboration with the Information Services Department, on which it depends for the bulk of the photographic and editorial material which forms the basis of its operation.
64. The staff in London consists of a Principal Information Officer, an Acting Senior Information Officer seconded from the Information Services Department, a Librarian, two stenographers and an office junior.
65. Following a successful exhibition of Hong Kong products at the Bull Ring Shopping Centre, Birmingham, which ran from 5th to 17th July, 1965, a series of ten-day store displays was arranged with the co-operation of Lewis Ltd. at Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Bristol and Ilford.
66. The Assistant Director, Trade, and the Principal Information Officer served on a special sub-committee of the Hong Kong Associa- tion to plan the utilization of the Trade Centre in the basement of 55-58, Pall Mall, which was sublet to the Joint Public Relations Committee.
11
67. Towards the end of 1965 vigorous action was taken by the London Office to combat an outbreak of adverse publicity for Hong Kong products, including plastic ice coolers, plastic toys and Christmas tree decoration lights. Close liaison was maintained throughout the year with the Home Office on health and safety factors affecting these and other Hong Kong products.
68. Assistance was given to the Fire Services Department in the planning and mounting of a Colony exhibit at the International Fire Exhibition at Olympia in July 1965.
69. The Information Section acted as intermediary between Hong Kong Government departments and the organizers of the Common- wealth Arts Festival in connexion with the Colony's representation. The foyer of the National Film Theatre in London was specially decorated for the premiere of the Colony's entry, the Shaw Studios' production 'The Vermilion Door'.
70. Window displays at 54, Pall Mall during the year were changed frequently and included displays depicting the Port of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Fire Services, Ocean Terminal and Employment in Hong Kong. During British Week in Hong Kong a special window display was provided by the Central Office of Information.
71. Nearly 200 press releases compiled from material received from the Information Services Department were issued during the year as the basis of a continuing effort to keep the British public informed about Hong Kong and its achievements through the newspaper and magazine press.
72. Sixteen British Press Surveys, a digest of what the British press had been saying about Hong Kong, were issued. This survey is sent to some 150 organizations and businessmen in the United Kingdom and is also redistributed by the Information Services Department to interested people in the Colony. It also provides material for inclusion in a monthly programme produced by the B.B.C. for Radio Hong Kong.
73. The Information Section runs a small film library from which loans are made to schools, clubs and other private audiences, and the stock of several thousand black-and-white photographs and colour transparencies were in constant demand for reproduction by news- papers, magazines and publishing houses, as well as by authors, free- lance journalists, lecturers and commercial publicity agencies and broadcasting organizations.
12
74. The Information Section's Library was responsible for the sale in the United Kingdom of Hong Kong Government publications, including the Colony's Annual Report.
75. Other functions included the distribution of literature produced by the Information Services Department, the Department of Commerce and Industry and other government departments; briefing of journalists; arrangement of lectures by government officers on leave; and the answering of many thousands of enquiries received by letter, telephone and personal visit, from members of the general public, business firms, schools, etc.
76. The London Office, through its Information Section, continued to maintain the closest possible contact with the Colonial Office Information Department and other departments of H.M. Government, the Central Office of Information, Commonwealth organizations, the B.B.C. and I.T.V. and other agencies for the dissemination of information.
77. There was also regular and effective liaison between the Information Section and Campbell-Johnson Limited, the United King- dom Public Relations Consultants of the Hong Kong Public Relations Joint Committee, the Joint Committee's Brussels Office, and Curtis Greensted Associates Limited, the United Kingdom representative of the Hong Kong Tourist Association.
