KONG'S POOR WORKING BOYS

Funds Needed To Help Association

A somewhat novel method of raising money for Ideal charity will be employed for the first time next Sunday. Through the kindness of the King's Theatre and Columbia Pictures, "an ar- rangement has been made by which a gala performance of one of the year's best Alms "Pennies from Hesren' will be given.

· The usual theatre prices will be increased to $3.00, $1.50 and 75 cents. The entire difference between these prices and the then- tre's normal price will to to the funds of the Boys' Club Asso- clation, thus movie fans will have the opportunity of, whilst en- Joying themselves, helping charity. The public will receive good value for their money. The band of the 1st. Ba. of the Seaforth Highlanders will render half an hour of topics! music including a selection from "Barry Lauder" etc.

The fim enjoyed a good run in Shang- hat.

There are approximately 400 boys (principally Chinese) selling newspapers in this Colony. These boys are all driven to work at as young an age as 10 by the poverty of their families. Many of them are supporting widowed mothers who have other smaller children dependent on them.

FUNDS URGENTLY NEEDED In addition to helping the boys with the problem of earning their livings the clubs endeavour by means of games, picnics, lectures, singing. and some instruction to give these boys an interest in life. This type of work has been grow-
