cording to a report to F. L. DeRosia,
County Director. Lincoln County
1 Committee, United Service to China.
j Described as a reclamation project
without precedent, the former river
1 bed is a vast potential dust bowl
stretching across what was once
l China's richest farm land in Honan
Province, the report states. About
2,000 refugees are returning daily to
begin life anew in the region from
which they were driven in 1938 when
China blew up the dikes in an at
tempt to halt the Japanese advance.
Most of the refugees return without
food, seeds or tools which they must
have before thev can reap their
first, harvest.
Contributions to the current cam

child care and social welfare, Mr.
DeRosia explained,
j Lincoln County's quota has been
