Missionary Sister Safe In China,
Tunnelton Woman Is Told

Mrs. John S. Graham, Tunnelton,
West Va, has received word from her
sister, Miss Julia Bonafield, for nearly
fifty years a missionary in China, of
her safe arrival in Foochow, which
was her destination when leaving this
country year ago, after visit to her
homeland Miss Bonafield was delayed
in getting to Foochow after being de-
tanned at Picking and Shanghai be-
cause of the war in China.
Miss Bonafeld is well known in this
section of the country and has spent
much time at Mountain Lake Park
during her periodic visits to her home,
where she was a guest of her niece,
Mrs. Bruce Falkenstine.
At Foochow Miss Bonafeld, at the
time she wrote to her sister, was dom
iciled with her ward, Dorothy Lee, a
Chinese girl, who accompanied Miss
Bonafeld to America several years
ago.
The following are excerpts from her
letter: 81 have been in Foochow for
three weeks. Have been welcomed by
receptions, dinners and programs and
am already into my old jobs of run
ming a small hotel (hostess), business
agency (buying for six inland sta
tions), and property inspector IRE
pairs, etc., and getting in touch with
our older graduates. | am not planning
to take up any teaching.
eve have few steamers calling here
now as the river is closed to all but
small craft.
"True to my experience in Picking
and Shanghai, Foochow had her first
bombs ten days after my arrival. The
air field, two miles from us, was thor
oughly torn up, but there were no air.
planes on the field. Twenty people in
a nearby village were killed by shrap-
mel.
'In Shanghai we had no sirens or
dugouts, but here the epeople are
trained to run to cover when the siren
sounds. Foochow is not a military post
and should not come into the fighting
zone"

STATUS OF CHILD RESCUE
HOME IS NOW UNCERTAIN
Institution Which Aided Chill
dren For Seventeen Years, Now
Hindered By Welfare Laws
is HOPEFUL OF FUTURE

Because of recent laws passed by
West Virginia and Maryland requir-
ing license for certain welfare agen-
cies to operate, the Maple Grove Child
Rescue Home, in Preston county, w.
Va, nine miles south of Oakland, and
near Gnegy church, is having its diff
ficulties. The Home was organized in
1921, since which time many children
have been given care, its support COM
ing from free will offerings. The Home
has sent many well trained citizens
into the channels of industry and
commerce.
Now, however, the Board of Direc-
tors is uncertain as to the future OF
the Home but is hopeful of favorable
consideration by the Board of State
Aid and Charities of Maryland.
The West Virginia State Depart
ment of Public Assistance at the board
meeting on April presented the State
license for the operation Of the Home
for one year. The presentation was
made by Mrs. Lulu E. Dixon, represen-
tative. The Maryland Board has
agreed to consider the request for Ii
cense this month.
While the Child Rescue Home is
owned and controlled by the Church
of the Brethren, it does not confine it
self to caring for children of this par
ticular denomination, but cares for
children of other churches as well.
Since the Home has been in opera
ton 1853 children have been its wards,
and of this number 81 have been
placed in approved homes, which is the
ultimate aim of those in charge. Many
of those received into the home have
been Garrett county boys and girls.
The Home was Incorporated under
the laws of the State of West Virginia
on October /, 1886. 1t was purchased
bv the First and Second District OF
West Virginia and Western Mary
land. which comprises the Northern
half of West Virginia and Garrett and
Allegany counties, in Maryland. Three
directors from each district are elected
and these nine elect a superintendent,
matron, general manager and secre-
tary treasurer.
Emra T. Fike, secretary-treasurer'
states that the atmosphere OF the
Home is made as much home-like as
possible.
There is a farm of SO acres on which
the boys are taught general farm
work and the girls are taught to do
house work.
The children are given proper tram
ing and have their religious needs
well cared for.
The Home property cost $4,000;
$1,000 for machinery and stock; $500
for the farm, and $4,000 for the house
and other buildings 1t has been sup
ported by free will offerings of the
people.
"The Home has appreciated very
much the support Of the people OF all
churches and will continue to appre-
ciate in wonderful way the continued
interest and support of its friends, as
in the past" Mr.. Fike said on Monday
when he was interviewed by Repub-
lican writer.
