China Needs and
Deserves Our 'Support
Against seemingly hopeless odds
China is continuing to resist. In the
trenches where men are fighting, and
in the hones and in the fields where
millions ase starving; in the numbing
winds, in the hip -high muck of flooded
wastelands, in .the bombed cities and
pestilence ridden areas of the inter-
iors; in the tents and the caves and
the houses, in the .bomb shelters and
Mountain paths ;in the river boats and
bamboo shacks; the mighty heart of
'China beats bravely for liberty.
This is the nation and these are
the people who march with Canada
on the soul -testing road of war.
They're people like us, remember.
They make bad slaves but superb
soldiers; like Canadians, they do a
lot of laughing and a lot of singing;
they won't grovel under any man's
boots; they believe in individuality
and the dignity of man. It's a big
country and they/re, a big people.
They're generous to a fault and they
aro tolerant of „the mistakes, and
meanness and cupidity of smaller peo-
ple. They are slow to anger and quick
to forgive.
But don't tamper with their free-
dom. Hands off their liberty! For
these they fight -at this point they
fight furiously and hard and down
to the last gasp!
A great people and a great gener-
ation deserve well of all of us, A
gallant Ally who has for five years
suffered war at is savage worst de-
serves the support of us all.
The need is today! The time to give
is today! Help China today!
The purchasing power of the Cana-
dian dollar in China is tremendous. To
appreciate what your gift through the
Chinese War Relief Fund will make
possible, consider the value of Cana-
dian money in meeting China's basic
needs: •
$500 will endow 20 hospital beds for a
year.
200 will provide 5,000 days of labor
for a work -relief project.
100 will provide emergency treat-
inent for 100 air raid victims.
50 will equip a field clinic.
25 will train a worker for active'
service.
20 will keep one refugee alive for
one year.
10 will provide clinical care for 100
refugees.
The News -Record will receive sub-
scriptions in support of the China War
Relief Fund and acknowledge by pub
listhing the contributor's name (unless
he prefers to remain anonymous) in
our columns. Official receipts would
be issued from Headquarters for in-
come tax purposes. If you wish to

ably enlightened by the reception of
a parcel.
Do you know, I've neglected also
to write and thanks you for the socks
which you gave mother to send me. I
am ashamed of myself but I suppose
itis a case of better late than never
Ron Peck and I were fortunate en-
ough to have a couple of days to-
gether last week. It certainly is good
to renew old acquaintances especially
so far from home. I've seen Willard
Aiken and Fred Ancon quite a bit too
and it is almost like good- old days in
Clinton when we three are together
again.
I'm not looking forward to winter
again in this country. It feels, so much
colder here than in Canada. Although
there is a fair amount of snow in
Yorkshire it doesn't stay long be-
cause the temperature seldom falls
below freezing, but it feels like 40
below all the time.
I'd better stop complaining and
close my letter. Once again Pd like
to say thank you so very much, for
the gifts and I hope that everything
goes well with all of your kindco-
workers and you.
Gratefully, Gordon Hearn.
