Casual Demands Unwanted To the Editor of the form-Cuwa Dany News"
Sm,—With the Chinese New Year coming around in a few. days most foreign homes and business offices are being approached by postmen, delivery boys, apartment house coolies amd many others, asking for gifts of money. Knowing something of human nature I feel sure many of them will be successful, I in no sense begrudge them these small gifts but would it not be a real kindness on the part of foreigners who have donations to make to place them in the hands of individuals definitely in need of even the smallest offering?
If it is impossible to handle these gifts personally—for "many of us it Will be—then there are many worthy organizations equipped to do this, Bonny POWELL.
