Thomson, Washington bus ness executive, who was born Shanghai and speaks Chinese, chairman of the Building Committee. The old three-story building, once the home of the McKay Smith family, is just above Scott Circle. The home already contains a small chapel and this will be enlarged to accommodate 300 persons. The new occupants will make such other changes in the in- terior as may be found necessary. Not only will the old residence pro- vide a church home, but it will be used as a social center for the congre- gation and also will afford facilities for sports and recreation of Chinesc youth. A large recreation hall will be established in the basement. The Chinese Community Church has been holding services in a room at the Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church South.
