Description | Program of the 16th Rover Scout Ball in Shanghai. The cover features the insignia of the boy scouts, a fleur-de-lis with a horseshoe beneath. Charles Jordan, JDC's Director of Far Eastern Activities, took out an ad in the inside cover. From his Shanghai headquarters, Jordan supervised programs providing relief, rehabilitation and immigration assistance for 15,000 European refugees. Charles Klotzer, a German Jewish refugee in Shanghai, was the scout master of the 16th Independent boy scout group and organized this event. At the time. he was 21 years old and always interested in dancing, thus the event became a "ball". In Shanghai at that time, there was a cub scout group, a boy scout group, and the Rovers. The Rovers, the senior group was later recruited by a British Senior leader to contact the Allied forces and guide them through the city should they ever invade Shanghai. | |||
