Description
"Frame 23 -- In the winter of 1935 - 1936, 16,000 refugees came to Tsinan from the flooded districts of southern and western Shantung and were quartered in guild halls and public buildings throughout Tsinan. The provincial government fed and housed them
the cost of drugs and supplies was borne by the China International Famine Relief Commission
and medical care was given by the Cheeloo medical staff and students, working in teams which included senior and junior physicians and members of each medical class. Vaccinations against small pox, de-lousing, and prevention of vitamin deficiency diseases were some of the activities in which faculty and students engaged. (This work has been reported by Dr. Struthers.)" [now Jinan] A group of Chinese people in warm clothing, sitting on the floor of a house. The floor is covered with rushes.
