NEW CRECHE FOR INFANTS OF HONGKONG Patent

GENEROUS GIFT BY

MR. LI PO-CHUN

THE generous gift of a house in Clarence Terrace by Mr. Li Po-chun for a period of two years, to be used as a creche for the infant children of working mothers, was reported at the monthly meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the Society for the Protection of Children, held under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall.

It was further reported at the meeting that Mr. Li had promised to donate a sum of $100 per month, for the same period, to help in the expenses of managing the insti- tution.

The creche, which is to be named the Ling Yuct Sin Creche, in memory of the donor's mother, will be in the hands of the Canadian Sisters, who will be in complete control, but who will consult the Executive Committee of the Society on questions of finance.

Admission will at first be restricted to the children of mothers sent by the Society's inspectors to the creche, and the babies will receive such food, medical attention and other care as may be re- quired. The responsibility for outlay beyond the financial provision made by the donor will be that of the Society.

It was stated at Monday's meeting nominal rent of per month.
