PICNIC FOR BLIND
(To the Editor, "China Mail."] Sir-In past years the St. Peter's Church Group of the V.D.M.A. have: undertaken the responsibility of arranging a yearly outing to Shek-
O for the inmates of the Blind Home at Pokfulam and for a visit
to the Home at Chinese New Year when each girl is given a present. In view of the fact, that St. Peter's Church is now closed, the Kowloon Tong Group of the V.D.M.A. have taken over this responsibility, and It is earnestly hoped that the public will give its same generous supporti both as regards donations and loun lof cars.
The outing to Shek-0 this year is
fixed for Saturday, October 27, and I shall be very glad to receive donations and/or offers of cars.
