South of Ningpo are Kinhwa and Lishui — the latter known at first as Chuchow, which was field headquarters for Scarboro mission bands. The priests and sisters, and also their thousands of supporters across English-speaking Canada — kept in touch with one another chiefly by the popular Scarboro publication China — soon became acquainted with Lishui/Chuchow and the names of numerous mission stations, among them Lungchuan, Sungyang, Pihu, Tsingtien and Dolu. In 1940 the adjoining region of Kinhwa was added to the Chuchow/Lishui area earlier entrusted to the Scarboro priests.
