Actually three-quar ters of the estimated 2,500,000 people here are refugees In one way or another. Nearly all refugees come from Red China. Not all of them came here penniless as refugees usual ly are. Most of them are, how ever. Some came down with millions. All of them are facing a bleak future in hand-to-mouth liveli-. hood. They seem to prefer that to a life under Communism. The Catholic Sunday Examin er said there are at least 19 camps hero caring for more than 000,000 refugees. The Journal said "some 300,- 000 refugees live in tin and tar paper shacks. Some 200,000 share crowded quarters and sleep In shifts with 10 or more people living in six-foot-square ooms. Another 10,000, includ ing families, sleep on streets, in alleys, in doorways or on roofs of buildings. Tuberculosis rate in some of these areas is as high as 70 per cent." Missionaries Help The Sunday Examiner said some of the Catholic missionar ies expelled from China by the Chinese Communists are now helping to organize work among the refugees to relieve their suf ferings. Among the missionaries doing this work now are Mary knoll Fathers Howard D. Trube and Stephen B. Edmunds. Refugees living in crowded wooden huts are vulnerable to fire. Two disastrous fires during the last six months leveled down about 5,000 of their squatter huts and an estimated 30,000 refugees wore made homeless. Some 20,000 refugees segre gated in one isolated camp made headlines with their strong anti Communist activities and senti ments. They are mostly former Nationalist soldiers or officials, including more than 100 gener als. Thus far, the refugees here have not yet received relief as sistance from the United Nation! or any other international orga nization. Their plight is gener ally believed among the worst in the world. Champion Walker Dons Hiking Garb Obcrlin, O. ' U.R) Andrew Fenn, champion walker in these parts, is back in his customary hiking garb of tee-shirt and shorts for his daily five-mile stint. During the winter, Fenn dres ses like everyone else but now that spring is here he sheds the cumbersome garments of cold weather, grabs his walking stick and out into the sunshine. Basing his experience gained from his 82 years and more than 60,000 miles of walking, Fenn said, "walking is the ideal exercise. It's a natural buildup and the exercise Is evenly dis tributed." His wife, Mrs. Edna Fenn, who was reared In the gentle south, doesn't follow her hus band's vigorous hobby, "but we learn to humor men down there," she said. Woman Convinced Her Place in Home Baytown, Tex. (U.R) Mrs. W. F. Whltten has decided a woman's place is in the home-definitely. When she returned from wor one evening here is what she found: Her husband, sick abed, had tried to start dinner and put a chicken on to cook. Smoke began to fill t h a house and choked him as he lay In bed. He called a neighbor, Pat Corbett. Corbctt began sear ching for the fire. Ho went into the attic, then fell through the ceiling without finding a fire. Whitten called the fire de partmcnt. A fireman found the two red-eyed men groping through the smoke-filled house. He went Into the kitchen, turn ed off the kitchen stove and threw out an over-cooked chicken. DISBURSEMENTS: Bond Redemption ESTIMATED BALANCE JUNE 30, 1953.
