Pearl Buck Speaks
On G-W Campus
Pearl S. Buck, winner of the 2,500 persons jammed into the
Nobel Prize and the Pulitzer Best Gymnasium at Gardner-
Prize for literature, asked over ‘Webb College Tuesday to ex
tend a hand of aid and un
derstanding to a “New Peo
ple” in the world.
The noted author and lec
turer directed much of her
talk to the plight of children
in Asia bom of American-Or- ■
iental i»rentage. “I do notxasV
judgment on anyone but I sim
ply realize something must be
done, for these “New People”
have no place to go in Asia
and they will turn to the first
group which accepts t

the
GARDNER-WEBB students and faculty have been mutually
fortunate in hearing a speaker of the calibre of Pearl Buck.
Miss Buck has commanded great audiences throughout the
world and her name is almost synonymous with understanding
between different cultures.

Wishes You A Joyous Season,
And Urges:
- DON’T FORGET -
Communists.”
The Pearl Buck Foundation
in Philadelphia is now admin
istrating a program of aid to
these “New people” who are
growing in number because of
the fact that millions of U. S.
servicemen and the service
men of other nations are sta
tioned in Asia.
A child in Asia is considered
the father’s child and unless
the child is registered by the
father cannot legally marry, go
to school, or have legitimate
children. .“One half of these
children die before they are
five years old but those who
survive are the superior ones
in intelligence and appear
ance,” Miss Buck stated.
“Our government has not fa
ced this problem and so today
there exists between the two
cultures of the world a new
people . . .if given an oppor
tunity they will become our
friends.”
She called the Far Eastern
problems an involved tangled,
jigsaw puzzle based on the his
tory of several centuries. Trac
ing this vital history in out
line form, the 76-year old Buck
County, Pennsylvania, resi
dent recalled many personal
experiences during her 40 years
of residence in China.
