Street Sleepers Shelter Society

At the third annual general meeting of the Street Sleepera' Shelter Society "held in St. John's Cathedral yesterday afternoon. Mr. R. Ashton Hill, acting Chairman of the Society, stated that`s even if they had ten shelters they would not be meeting "the need. They had a balance of only $2,000 and did not feel justi- fled at the moment in making any attempt to increase the num- ber of shelters from three to four. He would like, therefore, whilst thinking those who had subscribed to the work in the, past, to make for their continued and increased support. The work needed expanding, he said; and they could not expand unless they bad the money.

Prior to the meeting an "At { Home" was held for volunteer helpers of the Society.

Supporting Mr. Ashton Hill at the meeting were the Hon. Dr. R. H. Hotewall. Miss R Mow Fung (Hon. Secretary), Miss D. Lee (As- sistant Hon. Secretary), Mr. An- drew Cheung (Hon. Treasurer), Mr. Tang Shiu Kin, Miss M Blan- chett and Mr. J.-C. M. Grenham,

This gives me a chance to say how much this society owes to Sir Henry's interest in its work. From the very first he took his turn week by week as a volunteer worker at St. Peter's shelter and during the last two years the work which he has done for the society has been invaluable. The volunteers are the backbone of this society and it is a great encouragement to the com- mittee to have as chairman one
