STREET SLEEPERS
ANNUAL REPORT REVEALS
GOOD WORK DONE
More good work is being done to provide shelters for poor and destitute Chinese, according to the second annual report of the Street Sleeper Shelter Socioly, just Issued.
St. Peter's Church WAS used during the winter, and the in- mates were given special prayer on festive occasions such as Christmas Day.
The report
in states
part: Owing to the fact that during the year. 1933 to 1934 we had to re fuse admission to numbers of men because of lack of accommodation we felt that it was imperative that we should open a second Shelter and after careful reference to the census kindly taken by the l'alice in March 1934, it was decided that the Society should endeavour to open another Shelter in the Upper Levels District, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Hollywood Road and Po Hing Fong, where it was found there were most Stree: Sleepers. It was not easy finding suitable accommodation in this area but we were fortunate even- tually in being able to rent from the Tung Wah Hospital at $100 per month a three storeyed house in Po Yan Street -almost opposite the Tung Wah Hospital.
There was a full house and some had to be turned away.
Statistics
At the West Point Shelter, the total number of sleepers from December 1, 1934 to April 15, 1935 waa 17.156. Analysis shown that #23 men used the Shelter. eight of these coming every night for the whole 136 nights. Eight men came for 135 nights; four for 14, 133 and 132 nights, two for 131 Bights; three for 130 nights: 18 for two nights and 13 for night.
one
At the Po Yan Shelter the total number of Sleepers From Decem- ber 15, 1934 to April 16, 1935 was 16,269. Analysis shows that 364 men used the Shelter, five of these coming every night for the whole 122 nights. Three men eame for 120 and 118 nights.
The total number of registra- tions for both Shelters was there fore 33,425 and the total number of men who used the Shelter was, 687.
A good proportion of the T11 were elderly and it was pleasing to see some of the same old men turn up on the opening night at West Point Shelter. One felt that they really did appreciate what was being done for them. A good number of "odt job" men came tomen who cannot find regular work but do any odd job that they can find. This means they
feed themselves on the few cents they earn but have not enough to pay for a bed, so would otherwise sleep In the streets.
Thanks are expressed to many doctors and nurses, the St. John's Ambulance Brigade and Deep Sea Scouts for their serviccs.
During the Reason 206 enses were sent to hospital and 1,602 were treated at the Shelters.
Cases Assisted

The behaviour of the inmates was very good, apart from a "little serap one night at the Po Yan shelter, which was soon settled.
There were over 140 names on the volunteer roster, there being any from Scouts, Sen Scouts and Tac H. and the warm gratitude of the Committee is expressed in the
yport.
The report adds: In conclusion, the members of the Executive Com mitter feel more and more that the experiment has proved worth while and are greatly encouraged to go forward and increase the number of Shelters. There is no doubt that the men do appreciate what is being done for them and we look forward to the time when Sheltere there will be permanent in each district arcommodate all those who are low pour to afford the price of a bed in the winter.
The Society is very grateful to all subscribers, especially to the anonymous docor in Kuala Lum pur of $500,
