1964年，柏立基總督任期屆滿，準備離開香港。當日報章以顯著篇幅報道他的離任消息，並刊登相關照片，記錄這位香港總督任滿離港的一刻。
這則新聞除了是一次總督更替的消息，也反映了當時香港政府及社會在一個行政階段結束時的情況。
In 1964, Governor Black completed his term of office and prepared to leave Hong Kong. The newspaper gave prominent coverage to his departure and published photographs connected with the occasion.
The report was not only about the departure of a governor, but also recorded the end of an important period in Hong Kong’s administration.
內容｜Content
根據當日報章版面，柏立基總督滿任離港是本頁的重要新聞之一。報道配有照片，並集中介紹總督任滿及離港的消息。
柏立基在任期間，香港社會正經歷持續的城市發展。當總督任期結束，離開香港，報章自然將這次行政上的轉變作為重要新聞報道。
同一版面另一篇相關報道，以「解決香港問題即『人』的問題｜全在居民肩上」為題，內容涉及柏立基總督在離任前對香港及居民的談話。兩篇新聞放在同一頁，可以互相補充，讓讀者看到當時離任消息及告別談話的不同角度。
這張舊報紙所保存的，不只是「一位總督離開香港」的消息，也記錄了1960年代香港政治及社會生活中的一個時間點。
According to the newspaper page, Governor Black’s departure at the end of his term was one of the major local stories on the page. Photographs were published alongside the report, documenting the occasion.
During his time in office, Hong Kong was undergoing continued urban and social development. His departure at the completion of his term therefore represented a change in the administration and was given prominent attention by the newspaper.
Another related report on the same page was headlined “Solving Hong Kong’s Problems Is a Matter of People｜The Responsibility Rests with Residents.” It concerned remarks associated with Governor Black before his departure and his views regarding Hong Kong and its residents. Placed on the same newspaper page, the two reports provide different aspects of the same period: his departure and his farewell message.
This surviving newspaper page therefore preserves more than the simple fact that a governor was leaving Hong Kong. It records a particular moment in the political and social life of Hong Kong in the 1960s.

滿任 was a common administrative expression in historical newspapers, meaning that an official had completed his or her term of office.
