With the cooperation of local church leaders, the first 10 thousand
copies printed were all sold to primary school children on a non-
profit making basis. With this encouraging start, the Committee is
now in the process of printing the second 10 thousand copies. It
is our hope that these cartoons may become popular among school-
children not only in Hong Kong but throughout South East Asia, and
help these youngsters to become good citizens.

b. Display of photographs on "Good Citizenship” among middle schools
After a photographic contest and exhibition held in last March,
one hundred photographs were selected for future display. Several
leading schools have started Citizenship Weeks and have made good
use of the photographs in their respective schools.

c. Christian Citizenship Sunday The second Sunday in July was selected
as Christian Citizenship Sunday. Many churches are observing this
Sunday .

attending are as follows:

Dates Attendance

April 28 192 (representing 17 denominations)

The institutes gave opportunities to hear lectures on Christian
belief, on work with children and with youth. There was a time for
learning new songs, a devotional period, and fellowship around the supper
tables. At one of the sessions, a book display was presented by the
Council on Christian Literature for Overseas Chinese.

On November 30, the Committee invited a number of leaders in
Sunday School work to a luncheon in the Chinese Y.M.C.a . A lively

This will be held in the True Light Middle. School, Hong Kong on one
Sunday in each of the months, April to July.

3• Committee for Co-Operation on Church Development & Planning
