BENEVOLENT

SOCIETY

Appeal For Funds

(To the Editor. "The Hong Kong

Bally Pres")

Sir,-Knowing'us We do the many and urgent calls upon your space we, the Executive and Com- mittee of the Hong Kong Bene- volent Society, yet venture to ask

your kind help in giving publicity to the parlous state of our funds at the present time.

Refugees may come and go and other unusual tunda may call for money that people readily subs- cribe, but it is important that the regular "Social Service" of the Co- lony should still receive support; the Hong Kong poor are always with us;

their numbers tend to Increase as our resources dwindle. We have a bleak prospect before us this winter and we hope very fervently that we shall not have to cut down upon our regular ap- pilcants, or fall to make their Christmas that little extra plea- sure that it has been hitherto and which mears so much In their drab lives.

Residents in the Colony know the work of this old-established Society well, and hare, supported it generously, but for the bene- fit of newcomers it may be well to state briefly the aims of the Society and the work it under takes..

It exists to help down-and-outs other than Chinese (the fatter having their own charitable in- slitutions) but the majority of our applicants being of mixed na- tionality many Chinese names ap-

pear on our books. Perhaps the most important work £5 done through education and in this we are greatly helped by those schools and convents which take our children at reduced fees. At the present moment the Society is educating 53 children, of whom only a mere handful are day boarders. Then apart from tem- porary relief, there are cases re- nelving monthly allowances; others have their rent paid; others again have their monthly compradores' books settled for them..

The Society maintains accom- modation in Kowloon where cases can be lodged and hoarded until rooms can be found, or until their crisis is passed If possible, work is found for men and women, but this part of our activities gets more and mare diffelt as time goes on. Voyages are paid and landing money given in a few cases, some- times in conjunction with one (or more) charitable societies. Cloth ing is given in every case and orders for shoes on a local firm If none in our cupboards are found to At

It must be pointed out that every case is subjected to the closest investigation and in this we receive invaluable assistance from the "Special Branch" of the Hong Kong Poller. There is also a Men's Advisory Committee of the Society, which meets when called upon to do so.

A word as to funds; the Society receives an annual grant from the Colonial Government, regular grants from the Sporting Clubs and Societies, income from certain bequests and from life member- ships, special donations and "In Memoriam" gifts: For all this our expenses this year have been such that we view with grave anxiety the two or three months that must

elapse before our annual appeals

go out..

The best way, in the long run, to help the Society la by becom ing an annual subscriber. But owing to the unusual circum- stances of this half year, we should be most grateful for donations now, however modest. The need is ur- gent.

A copy of the Annual Report for 1936 will gladly be forwarded on application to the Honorary Becre- tary of the Society, 11 Ice House Street Yours, etc.,

Immediately after the outbreak of hostilities in the Shanghai area the eight men were engaged in operations in Yangtazepoo, where they were cut off from their com- rades and were prevented from Joining them because between them and their comrades lay the Japanese Naval Drill Field, which was held by the Nipponese.

Their comrades heard heavy rifle and machine-gun fire where the eight men were believed to be in hiding, and it was assumed that they had perished.

Days passed and eventually a report reached the commanding. officer of the eight men to the effect that they had escaped death and were in hiding in a dwelling on the southwest end of Yochow Road.

The

officer was delighted but amazed, for it was known that the Japanese were in that area in large numbers and it was not be- lieved that so small a party of Chinese soldiers could hold out there for long. The report per- sisted and the commanding officer determined to attempt a rescue of

the men.

The call for volunteers resulted

every man responding. The officer selected a small party, which he personally headed. In the gloom of night and with a heavy rain falling. the officer, daringly led his men through devious alley- ways and lanes to a point near the home where it was believed the men were in hiding.

A lone Chinese soldier stealthily crept forward, gained entrance to the home and found the men, weak and suffering but alive. Two of the eight could scarcely walk, but ail managed to make their way from the place. They had almost gained the Chinese positions when Japanese sentries spied them and opened fire. But the night was dark and the Japanese alm not so good.

The eight men were then given. their first hot meal in many a day and are now as ft as ever.
