Phila Inquirer 11/14/41 FASHIONS FEATUR 24 adefg THE WOMEN'S CLUBS Chinese Girl Flier Appeals to Clubwomen Tells Meetings That Her Country Will Fight Japan Until Victorious By Mary Padgett China will never give up until she wins her war with Japan. This opinion was emphatically expressed yesterday by China's first woman to pilot an airplane, Miss Lee Ya Ching, who is now on a flying good-will tour of the United States on behalf of the United China Relief Campaign. The young Chinese beauty, who gave up a motion picture career for flying, spoke informally at two women's gatherings yesterday. Miss Lee was a guest at a luncheon in the Warwick given by Mrs. Benamin F. Pepper, chairman of the Women's Division of the United China Relief Campaign, Philadelphia Chapter. The luncheon was attended by leaders of the woman's unit in the forthcoming drive to raise $250,000 - Philadelphia's quota in the national goal of $5,000,000. Later, Miss Lee was a guest at a tea given by the Woman's Club of Germantown, 6306 Germantown ave. Miss Lee declared that China, today, is better prepared militarily and economically than she was when the war started in 1937. For this reason, she expressed the hope that Ameria would not become actively engaged in the Far East conflict. "But China does need humanitarian help for its 50,000,000 refugees who fled into the interior from invaded areas," she said. ASKS MEDICAL SUPPLIES The Chinese flyer also appealed for American medical supplies to relieve the suffering of an estimated 5,000,000 Chinese who are wounded and sick. Miss Lee wore a Chinese dress at the luncheon, and later changed into a native afternoon frock for tea. The afternoon dress was purple and green, of floral design, and she wore purple high heel shoes, with matching purple bag and gloves. The daughter of one of China's first motion picture producers, Miss Lee starred in a Chinese film at the age of 16. Today, however, she is an expert air navigator with transport training. WON'T REVEAL AGE Just like her American sister, the demure Chinese beauty does not like to reveal her age. She speaks excellent English. Mrs. Carl W. Feninger, chairman of special events of the Woman's Club of Germantown, arranged the tea. Assisting hostesses were Mrs. J. Howard Fell and Mrs. Alan R. Boyd. Among members who received were Mrs. Charles C. Heyl, presidents; Mrs. Charles C. Smith, president of the junior section, and Mrs. William C. Otter, chairman of program. 8 GROUPS IN APPEAL The $5,000,000 which United China Relief hopes to raise in the Unites States--the campaign to be launched beginning Nov. 25--will be distributed by eight organizations active in relief work in China.

Thomas, baritone (a native of Wales); there was singing by the Philadelphia Welsh Choral Society and by the entire audience; and there was a mniature Eisteddfod (singing contest). The Eisteddfod perhaps held the greatest interest because of its competitive nature. Three youths and three young women finalists competed for two $25 awards with silver cup or vase.
