A city-wide movement has been slarted-by the Chinese community in: Shanghai for the purpose of assisting refugees and entertaining refugee children in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. Statements issued by relief bodies asking people to save part of their amusement funds for refugees have been much publicized by the Chinese press. Regulations governing the feeding of refugees by public-spirited individuals on monthly basis were issued yesterday by the Shanghai Refugee Relief Society.
Interviewed by a representative of the "North-China Daily New yesterday, relief workers were unanimously of the opinion that they should do their best to amuse the 60,000 refugee children here during the festive period although they ad-n.itted that they were unable to do so on a large scale as in previous years due to financial stringency. Christmas parties, however, will be held in -practically every refugee camp.
The Chinese Y.M.C.A. has sponsored several Christmas parties for children especially the refugee children. The No. 6 Refugee Camp in North Honan Road, near Haining Road, where more than 700 refugees live will be the meeting place of at least 300 refugee children who will enjoy plays, stunts and candy bags at a Christmas party and the 400 refugee children.in a camp in the Robison Road Y.M.C.A. centre will have the same privilege. Christmas songs will be sung and many games will be played under the leadership of refugee camp directors and teachers.
