“...JULY, 1945.
Newsletter No. 35
Chefoo Schools Association
»Great Britain Branch.
Editorial.
The cease-fire has sounded in Europe ; and now we wait and .work for its sounding in Asia and the Pacific. We Chefusians, at least, are in no danger of forgetting that war still rages. The thought of those yet in captivity is too much with us for that—and the thought of our many friends and school-fellows engaged on the far-eastern battle fronts. Together we toil and pray for such an end of war as may make true peace possible ; and already we may take our part in laying the foundations of peace. Our Chefoo upbringing has given us a distinctive view-point and a peculiar obligation as citizens of the world, members of a Christian International. God helping us, we must be faithful to that trust.
This News-letter brings with it (as usual in these momentous days) mingled grief and joy ; but always it is joy which “ cometh in the morning ”. Don’t forget, if you appreciate receiving news of old friends,...”

“...The Future of the C.S.A.
Dear Members,
At the Chefoo Reunion in January last the affairs of the Association were discussed. Although no accounts were available the Treasurer reported that the cash position did not then appear to be so critical as had been feared.

The four following O.C.’s were elected for this purpose :
Doris Briscoe, Robertson Sinton, Mary Bird, Doris Rouse.
The “ Emergency ” Committee met in London early in June. Without a proper Statement of Accounts from the absent Treasurer it was not possible to review the financial position. The question of executive affairs was, however, discussed. John Green tendered his...”

“...serve as notice required by Article 22 of the C.S.A. Constitution.
Following the General Meeting, a meeting of the Great Britain branch will be held.
The object of all this is to start afresh with a new committee of members all of whom are in a position and wilfing to give active assistance in the affairs of the C.S.A. The meeting will be quite open for nominations to the new General Committee and I do hope that members will attend with the desire to do what they can for the future of the Association. It would be a pity to allow the C.S.A. to fade away owing to lack of support at this critical time.
Your General Secretary (pro tern),
H. F. JOYCE.
London Re-union.
The Annual London Winter Reunion was held as usual in the C.I.M. Hall on the afternoon of Saturday, 6th January. A score or more of brave souls met for a preliminary Reunion over a Chinese Chow, but the most enjoyable part of this gathering was the meeting of old friends and chattering. The Chow itself was not up to pre-war standard...”
