Estimates were based on the Prefect's report that 4,000 homes had been ruined or damaged con- siderably.

He said the chief concern Now was providing shelter for the homeless and tents for them had been asked from the American Red Cross.

"Today the peace of the world remains threatened: International clouds oppress mankind and dictatorship is striving to force others under its rule. Nations have still to arm themselves preparing, as they have prepared for centuries, to save themselves from the ambitions of others.

Every Cent to the Fund

Although the work of the Hong- kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association is planned to meet the needs of this particular community, it is also part of the world-wide effort to eradicate tuberculosis. It is only by extending treatment to a greater number of sufferers that the vicious chain of communication by which tuberculosis is spread, can be broken.

The future development and exten. sion of the work of the Hongkong Association depends very largely upon the Annual Appeal for funds, and it is good to remember that every donation represents investment in health protection for our children and for ourselves.
