Mrs. Selwyn-Clarke, Hon. Sec- retary of the China Defence League, announces a particular- ly generous contribution to the current Bowl of Rice Campaign for relief of refugees through Chinese Industrial Co-opera- tives.

In return, he was sent a single book of tickets for a Bowl of Rice han- cheon at the Ying King Res- taurant on Aug. 1 when the contributing restaurants in Hongkong will be open for all supporters of the Campaign with a siruple meal of chow fan and soup.
