Food Kitchen For Refugees BLACK-OUT

Opened By Welfare Centre

Near New Territories

On Thursday last, the food kitchen maintained by the Sham- chun Rüral Welfare Centre was opened at Wong Pui Lirig, a village -äbout 1,000 yards from the Naw Territories border, between Shunchur and Shataukok, and 800 persons, both young and old, are being fed

dally.

The kitchen was organised as the result of a request from the village elders.

BURDEN RELIEVED

in

As in order to support their families, the malė villagers, unable¦ to find paying work in their own! districts under existing conditions, have to seek employment Sheungshul and other, places on the this side of the border, the kitchen was stared in order to relieve them of the birden so that they may be enabled to stay in their dis- tricts and work their own fields.

A MEAL A DAY

One meal a day is supplied at the kitchen, and those eligible for food are babies and children under 18, nursing mothers, sick people, old men and women, women and children whose children have been killed by the Japanese and wives and children whose fathers are in the regular Chinese armies.

They are supplied with food -cards and bowls and chopticks are furnished to those who are too poor to afford those utensils. The organisation of the kitchen is such that even the smallest child can line up and secure his food with- out danger of being unnoticed or trampled on or in other ways hampered from getting his meal

FORMER SCHOOL

The kitchen is housed in the premises of the former village school. The elder of the village supplies the cook and the carriers. who bring the food daily from Sheungshui

The cost per meal per person is three cents." This is surprisingly cheap, considering that the meal consists of a big bowl of rice, bones, pork, eggs, ginger and vege- tables, and affords a rounded, ibalanced nutritive diet.

$720 PER MONTH"

The cost of feeding the 800 people is, therefore, $24 per day, or $720 per month of 30 days.' "Hongkong citizens who are desir- cons of seeing for themselves this. branch of the Shumchun Rural Wel- fare Centre's work" are welcome, and any donations or gifts they may choose to make will be great- ly appreciated.
