TERRACE BAY NEWS We're wishing all our friends and neighbors all the gaiety of an old-fashioned Yule. CEBRARIO'S HARDWARE Schreiber - 824-2511 Terrace Bay - 825-3224 Phone 622-7079 NEW METHOD Insulation & Supply Phone 345-1277 Thunder Bay, Ontario DEAR FRIENDS OF CHINESE CHILDREN Greetings from Hong Kong. Please accept our sincere thanks for the used Christmas Cards that you have so kindly sent to the Chinese Children's Prayer League. ; These cards will be distributed to Chinese children who, otherwise, would not have such beautiful re- minders of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Not only do the children use the cards fo give to their parents, relatives and swap with their school- mates, but they use the pictures of flowers, fruit, etc., to make flash cards for use at school. They also make attractive plaques and othr handwork to hang up on the walls of their homes. Last December a raging fire broke out in the Squatter Area just two blocks from an Elementary School where thousands of cards have been distributed | during the past ten years. Almost 6,000 people were left homeless, among whom were fifty-two families of the students of this Elementary School . The following day, after the destructive fire, my son visited the.grea, and in the ashes of the ruins of one of the wooden, tin-roffed shacks, was a partially | burned Christmas Card, depicting the Nativity Scene around the manger. 'The outside edges of the card were framed in a crisp, burnt cardboard. Some Chinese kiddie had brought home a used Christmas Card, had kept it hidden for the coming Christmas ... but the flames had found the treasured possession and had devoured most of the card! : The used Christmas Cards, and other cards, that you send are a reminder to these children, that SOME- BODY CARES. On their behalf, let me thank you again for sending the. The Rev. John Bechtel, D.E., Founder-Director, 1957-70, Chinese Children's Prayer League.
