Members of the Auckland Chinese Young Men's Club have contributed some £200 to bonds for the assistance of their homeland in its struggle against the Japanese invader. There are now sixty-two members of the club, some of whom are shown above. They meet weekly in the Mawson Memorial Hall, Cook Street, where short lectures are given in their own language and Chinese national games are played. Newspapers and books in Chinese are available and there is a good
English library. From time to time the members hold a musical evening, when the typical haunting music of the Orient is played, though European music still plays an important part. There was no social club for young Chinese in Auckland prior to the foundation of the present club in 1931, and it has since made steady progress! reported the organiser, the Rev. Y. S. Chau, to-day. Mr. Chau also carries on the work of the Chinese Christian Church in Auckland.
