THE interesting photographs on this page show the

young Chinese children from the North who are, at present, in the Colony under the cars of the Hongkong Branch of the National Association for the Care of War Orphans. Recently, these refugee children were enter- tained by Mlas Irene Ho Tung. Director of the branch, and later, they vixited Mr. and Mrs. Ho Kom-tong and their daughter-in-law. Mrs. 1o Sal-wah, at Ho Cheng. In Mount Davis.

These orphants arrived in the Colony on September B, having left Hankov on November 3 and stopped over la Canion for half a day. The children, of whom there are 63 girls, were accompanied by ten Chlaese boy scouts and four lady teachers from the parent association In Ilankow. Tho Canton Branch of the Association also sent another scout and a few workers to accompany the party. After their arrival, they handed the orphans over to the twenty ladles from the Hongkong Association who met them at the railway station.

The National Association for the Care of War Orphans was started In Hankow in March of this year. A scheme was worked out whereby orphanages would be established throughout China with about 500 children as a unit.

As ils name indicates, the main purpose of the organisation is to care for the unfortunate children who have become orphaned by the present Sino-Japanese hosti!!lics.

The Associations aim to care for 20,000 chlidren under the age of twelve. The children of soldiers and destitule* refugees are given first preference. The maintenance of each child is $5 (National Currency) per month.

The members of the organisation In Hongkong have secured a temporary loan of a Chinese charity hospital in Un Long, New Territories, to house the children. They have also been given the loan of the Old Government Clell Hospital "B" Block, through the kind co-operation of the Hongkong Government and of the Refugee Com- milice of the Tung Wah Hospital.

Already over 300 children are in residence at these homes. The Ass0* clation has also taken over a number of destitute children, refugees from the Nurth, who were at the Tung Wah Hospital Refugee Camp.

Mr. Aw Boon-haw visited the child- ren one day recently and decided to build them a permanent home. He also donated a sult of clothing for each child which has now become their uniform. As a rule they wear their eld clothes of varying shapes and alzcs contributed by well-wishers

They spend their mornings studying and their afternoons are given over to manual work. The staff living in on a semi- the orphanage work voluntary basis.

Benefactors are invited elther to make donations to help these ite children or to undertake to adopt or maintain

of any desired number children for a period of months or years, or until they are able to leave. the Instituttons. Names and photo- graphs of children will be supplied to donors if so desired.
