This club, although with normal membership of only 150, can call on many friends for help in time of emergency, and has taken a most active part in relief work since the opening of hostili- ties. Its members include many prominent society women who dis- play qualities of leadership and initiative when necessary.
Deciding that hospitals Shanghai are better able to can- vass for supplies and comforts than those inland, members are working to make bandages, sheets, clothes and similar necessities to re sent to hospitals between Shanghai and Nanking. There are fewer women's clubs in those towns sufficiently organized to render adequate help, while in Shanghai. this club is able to enlist
many volunteer workers, including foreign friends who give their labour for making up these articles.
WARM CLOTHING They recently sent thousands of bandages to the front, and pro- pose to send more. Warm knitted

AN APPRECIATION
In connection with the Dinner Dance, held at the Hong Kong Hotel on October 8, which resulted in the sum of $6,016.85 being made available for relief work among wounded soldiers and needy re- fugees, the Committee of the Hong Kong Chinese Women's Soldiers' Relief Association wish to acknowledge their deep apprecia - tion and gratitude to Mrs. Violet Chan, who presided and was large- ly responsible for the success of the function.
MR. ALFRED HICKS' ESTATE
Local estate to the value of $68,400 was left by the late Mr. Alfred Hicks, Editor of the Hong Kong Telegraph, who died at the age of 54 at the Infectious Dis- eases Hospital on September 20, 1937. A petition by Mrs. May Hicks, widow, of Repulse Bay Hotel, for grant of probate of the will
of the deceased has been granted by the Supreme Court.
underwear is also receiving their attention, while refugee relief is another item on their list of pro- jects. Officers of the 18th army defending the Lotien sector have requested knitted woolen sweaters, similar to those sent already with a truckload of gifts.
The club has received much support from people who know their work, and many donations of materials and money have been given by various friends. One of the most recent donations is U.S.$500 from an American woman who heard about their
many charities, and remitted the sum through a Chinese friend.
Club headquarters are in a room of the Y.W.C.A. building, and as fast as articles are bought and made up, they are sent out in answer to numerous requests from people who are in need.
