Funds to The Interior

"To give relet to both refugee children of Shanghai and interior provinces simultaneously, the Association has recently appropriated $5,000 for Langchow, $2,000 for Sian, $1,000 for Chengchow and $1,000 for Loyang for their work. These funds have been disbursed through the local child welfare organizations for the relief of stranded children. The Association is now planning to send secretaries to the interior provinces to consult with legal child welfare asso-dations and voluntary organizations in pushing on the work for relief of children in war-torn areas.

"In addition, the Association has been maintaining its two demonstration centres. One is the Shanghai Child Welfare Home on Rue Lafayette with 107 orphans between the age of six and 12. The other centre is the Chapei Benevolent Home, which, as a result of the hostilities, was removed to 33 Wang Ka-sha Garden, Carter Road. Fifty-nine homeless boys, between the age of 12 and 16, are being taken care of by the Institution."
