“...others would be affected by our example.
News Editor. It was a great joy to the General Committee when Miss Doris Rouse consented to become our News Editor. She has done excellent work, behind the scenes, in the past, and I know that she will be a great asset to us in her new capacity.
Address Book. We are proposing to have a new Address Book printed and all paid-up Members to date, will receive a copy—probably G.B., with their December Magazine.
C.S.A. Publicity Drive. The membership of the Association is not yet increasing. We must each make every endeavour to win back all lost members and welcome any new ones whom we may be able to enlist.
In closing I would just like to add that...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE
liitcMUke to Australia
li To stretch the octave 'twixt the dream and deed, ah ! that's the thrill."
'THE idea of “ adventure ” has always -*■ appealed to me, so when chance gave me six months to spare between demobilization and going up to Oxford, I decided to try and “ hitch-hike ” to Australia. I joined the Youth Hostels Association, bought a sleeping bag, collected a passport, a certificate of vaccination, and travellers’ cheques and French francs to the tune of twenty pounds. Into my pack I stuffed khaki shorts and slacks, underclothes, shirts, socks, tie, shoes, toilet gear, razor blades, shaving cream, soap, washing soap, darning outfit, iodine, first aid kit, penknife, mug, knife, fork and spoon, anti-mosquito cream, cold cream, torch, atlas, writing case, pencils, a few books and the New Testament. I was joined by an Army friend—Oliver Tod, and on April 13th, 1949, we embarked on the cross-channel steamer, Dover to Calais.
After passing the Customs at Calais, we...”

“...them all. The whole visit I found very stimulating and interesting. Since returning home, I have heard from FRANCES HENDERSON (nee CECIL-SMITH) and got further Chefoo information so I feel properly up-to-date again ”.
LINDA and DAVID SERGEANT are still in Cambridge. David has been spending a second year researching in the complicated, if rather unusual, field of animal glands and breeding seasons ; a monomania, he says, which has been varied by some teaching work in a Workers’ Educational Association group, and fending for himself in a bachelor flatlet assisted by a pressure cooker ! During the summer he hopes to work for a time at Utrecht in Holland, and visit Norway and Sweden, travelling by motor-bike. Linda is now in her last term of Nursery School training at Homerton College, Cambridge, and starts teaching next September at the Edith Cadbury Nursery School, Birmingham. -She heard from SARAH (nee BRYAN) ERWIN in Texas recently. She and her family are well.
Mrs. DANSEY SMITH is now...”

“...Button) who used to play March tunes on the piano hours on end, while first her beau, then her husband, made us prepare for exhibition drills in the hot quad. The night they dined with us Bolling Reynolds and his wife came too ; this produced another burst of recollections. At noon the next day Mr. Taylor led the service at St. Paul’s Chapel of Columbia University (several former Chefoo people being in attendance) and afterwards spoke informally to a group of members of the Student Christian Association. He has lost none of his old sense of mission, and entertained and instructed the present day college men and women in the same way, no—better than, he did us thirty years ago.
The C.S.A. knew better than approach Kenneth Taylor for this information, and the large Taylor contingent at the convocation all proved equally and unhelpfully modest. However this progressive magazine had established its own non-Taylor listening post at the McMaster convocation and here is its report of what was said...”

“...HOUGHTON and ELIZABETH EDWARDS are now (May 3rd), after months of waiting in Shanghai, in Hongkong (which they reached from Shanghai via Tientsin), and by the time this News Letter goes to press should be on their way to England and Australia respectively.
Fifteen or twenty other children have left us within the last eighteen months as their families have left China. We trust that these will link up with the C.S.A. in the countries to which they have gone, and always remember with affection their association with the School . . . however short that may have been. LJ.T.
ARNOLD CLARKE writes :
I am kept busy with the usual missionary activities, chiefly a dispensary five afternoons a week. Though restricted a little during the last months we are glad to have the opportunity of having sixty or more patients under the sound of the Gospel so regularly. During last summer I was able to make a few trips into the country to a part where there are large numbers of Miao tribespeople who have never been reached...”
