Much more could be written on the celebrations of Sunday for the occasion was of outstanding importance. When some thousands of people know that their homes and crops are made reasonably safe by this reconstructed sea-wal]l, small wonder that they rejoice at the successful carrying through of this work. Here is a record, in stone of the ce-operation of Chinese and foreigners and a valuable contribution to the work of famine prevention. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that there is a 40 Ji stretch of the sea-dyke (quite a distance away from Chinhai) badly needing repair, and, with commend: able zeal, the Chinhai people would like to rebuild this and so give the people some distance away the same security they themselves enjoy; indeed, this Association is now appealing for funds for this purpose and all contributions can be sent to the Chinese-Foreign Famine Relief mittee, 3 Hankow Road, marked "Chinhai Sea Wall."
One cannot praise too highly the ce-operative efforts of the Chinese and foreigners in the Ningpo Chinese-Foreign Famine Relief Committee for the prevention of famine throughout Ché- kiang. In these efforts, Mr. F. W.° Carey, Commissioner of Customs at Ningpo, is the recognized leader and on Sunda; both officials and people paid most remarkable tributes to Mr. Carey's efforts for Ningpo and Chivhai and the whole of Eastern Chekiang.
