TYPHOON RELIEF

Although at the present time the capacity of the charitably minded' to relieve the sufferings of their fellows is already severely taxed, we wish to make an urgent appeal to all citizens of Hong Kong, both Chinese and others, on behalf of the sufferers in the recent typhoon disaster.

The extent of the sufferings of the poorer Chinese may not be perfectly known or fully realised No by many of your readers. fewer than 1,178 junks and sam- pans "were totally lost. and with the boats was lost the only means of Hvelihood of so many of our fishing population and of so many of those whose work it is to help in the Colony's carrying trade.

It is our sincere hope that, while the Colony lends its ald to the war sufferers ад generously as it is doing, a thought may be spared for the victims of this cataclysm at our doors.

The resources of the existing charitable institutions are already severely strained, but it is never- theless naturally to the Tung. Wa Hospital, as the leading Chinese organisation of the kind in the Colony, that one looks in the first instance for assistance. The funds collected for this relief will be placed in a special fund to be administered and distributed by that Hospital in co-operation with the Secretariat for Chiness Affairs.
