ST. JAMES' SETTLEMENT VISIT
Note to Editors:
Mrs. G.T. Rowe, wife of the Director of
Social Welfare, will visit the St. James' Settlement, 98A Kennedy Road, Wan Chai, on Monday, October 2 at 10 a.. She will be accompanied by Mrs. Evelyn Doe, Principal Social Welfare Officer. The Settlement is run by the Church Body of the Chinese Anglican Church. It was inaugurated at the end of 1949 to provide recreational, literacy, and practical training facilities for children in the Wanchai district. From a small beginning, it was extended as the need arose and the funds became available. The workshops were completed in 1961, the main building in 1963, and the Stone Nullah Centre in 1969. The Settlement has been receiving a
Government subvention for many years. You are
invited to have the visit covered, and your news
team should arrive at the Settlement by 9.45 a.m.
