COLLEGE CONDUCTS ACTIVITIES OF INTEREST
Famous Chinese Flier Gives Talk at N.J.C., Visits Shop
Miss Lee Ya Ching Tells of United China Relief in Chapel Session
In an informal address before the student body of New Jersey College for Women yesterday at Voorhees Chapel, Miss Lee Ya Ching, Chinese aviatrix, described the work of United China Relief in her country and the manner in which young Chinese students are still carrying on their education after moving universities hundreds of miles to escape bombing,
Miss Lee quoted statistics on the work of United China Relief with war orphans and told the small sums necessary for their upkeep.
China may help the United States more than one expects, the indicated, because the Chinese, after their years of war with Japan are aware of Japanese treachers and the manner in which the enemy works. She cited Chinese devices for counteracting the Japanese. Wireless sets are distributed near Japanese air bases, she said, so that Chinese cities know of imminent attacks three hours before the planes can reach them. Meanwhile Chinese planes may take to the air and force the Japanese to drop bombs over useless objectives. Miss Lee stressed the value of the cooperative movement in China. Groups are loaned money to start factories, she related, and in a year they repay the money, which can be reloaned. Besides increasing production, the Chinese thus learn the value of cooperation, she said.
After her N.J.C. visit, Miss Lee called at the United China Relief shop here at 47 Paterson street, where she was greeted by members of the local committee.
