General Committee Notes
THOSE who scrutinize the back page of' the magazine will have noticed that Faith Ledgard has succeeded Keith Butler as Secretary and Treasurer of the Australian Branch. The news came as the last magazine was about to go to press, too late for a mention in the editorial columns. Belated as they may be, we send our thanks and best wishes to Faith, and to Keith our thanks for services rendered.
Mary Hoyte has resigned from the General Committee, which she has served for many years, including a spell as News Editor. Mary has resigned ow’ing to the uncertainty of her future movements, which may include taking up residence in the U.S.A. Our grateful thanks go to her also, for all her help. Her place is taken by Rosemary Lea, whom we warmly welcome to Committee work. Arthur R. Parry {Hon. Gen. Secretary}.
Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this issue of the magazine. 1 should like to thank particularly...”

“...IN MEMORIAM
Harold Judd, C.B.E., C.A., 1878-1961
ONE of the Association’s Vice-Presidents, Mr. Harold Judd, passed away in January and the following notes are taken from a tribute to him, kindly loaned by Mrs. Judd:
Harold Judd was born at Wuchang. He and his five brothers were the founder pupils of the Collegiate School at Chefoo, which he left at the age of fourteen, and his time there and very strict upbringing instilled in him principles which lasted a lifetime.
On coming to Britain he took digs in Glasgow at about 10/- a week and applied for a job with a Scottish Chartered Accountant—John Mann. A dozen years later, despite lack of capital and his very brief schooling, he was taken into partnership at the early age of twenty-seven. The firm grew rapidly and enjoyed great prestige in Glasgow and later in London.
It was the First World War, however, which gave Mann and Judd a chance to show what they could do in the field of accountancy and the Second World War which gave Judd the opportunity...”

“...teaching in the schools and for research in the laboratories. The American Institute of Biological Sciences estimates that 3,000 to 4,000 new jobs open up every year for beginning scientists.
A young person who goes into biology can have his choice of dozens of intriguing specialities. He can concentrate on microbiology and investigate viruses, rickettsia, and bacteria or molds. He can focus on cytology and study cells, or histology and delve into the structure of animal and vegetable tissue. He can be an ichthyologist, a parasitologist, an embryologist, a biochemist, a geneticist, an ecologist. Or he can devote himself to horticulture, husbandry, or one of the many other agricultural sciences. Actually he can find a special niche almost anywhere his scientific fancy lies.
Approximately half of the country’s biologists are on the staffs of educational institutions. They teach, and carry on all-important research. Many teach in high schools and some even in elementary schools, although teaching...”

“Chefoo” Todav in Melbourne
•z
I N the last twenty years the C.I.M. “ Chefoo ” schools have seen great -*■ changes. First, the change from Chefoo itself to war-time emergency prep, schools at Kiating and Kalimpong, and then the growth of these schools into the secondary schools of Shanghai and Killing.
Now, following the Communist occupation of China, the “ Chefoo ” schools are once again prep, schools, where lifelong friendships are no longer made and where social, cultural, and spiritual maturity cannot be attained.
There is an extension of the “Chefoo” schools in the homelands; this is in the form of hostels for teenagers whose parents are on the Mission Field. Here in Australia most of the foundation members of the hostel had also been at Ruling.
Mr. J. O. Sanders, whilst Home Director in Australia, was able to obtain a two-storey brick house in a residential suburb of Melbourne. This house was named “ Ruling ”, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kitchen offered to be house-parents;...”

“...see came slowly for their welcoming cups of tea and a fear seized at least one heart that if attendances became increasingly smaller, our reunions might cease to be. But perish the thought ’—and before long a good crowd had gathered and the fear was gone. It is quite impossible to tire of seeing the “ old familiar faces ”, or of living again for a short space on the sunbaked Chefoo compound, or the hard and stony field in leafy Ruling. It was delightful to see everybody and there was not sufficient time to finish half the conversations we began ! The presence of whole families who were never themselves in the Chefoo School, but whose father or mother were, spoke volumes for the loyalty of such parents and it was good to see them joining so happily in the games run by John Pearce.
Joe Liversidge showed pictures of a recent trip to Japan and amused us by his determination to get off the boat at the wrong port and practise his “ booky ”
Japanese ! We were also hurriedly rushed through several...”

“...HELS-BYS, and DITMANSONS.”
OLIVE CALLIS (GRAINGER) has abbreviated a letter from her brother, ERNEST GRAINGER: “This year’s trip was the finest of any I have made following God’s leading, in order to get the Gospel out to others.” Several friends helped Ernest, financially, to do the twenty-five days’ tour through Western Canada and the States. After spending one night at the Canadian Keswick Conference, where there were 400 guests, he kept moving on, contacting a variety of people. The first Chefoo contact was ALFRED BARHAM, then his cousin, EDITH HUTSON. Further west he met Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie (REID) and Norah and Eileen, their daughters. Mrs. Ritchie very kindly invited Ernest to stay the night and next day Norah and her husband took him by car to the U.S. border. He made many contacts and gave away Gospels and had an encouraging time. Ernest stayed two days with ALFRED CROFTS, whose daughter is with the Red Cross in Korea, son George in the Army, and young Alf at home. He had a wonderful...”

“...consecutive houseman’s jobs. Mrs. HOUGHTON is leaving the Parochial School in Clerkenwell and has a post at Hamilton House School, Tunbridge Wells, for September. This has come as a very wonderful provision from God, and in a remarkable way. They are praying for a suitable flat in the Southborough area and hope to move from Muswell Hill at the end of July. It was a great pleasure to them to entertain BRIAN TAYLOR for a meal recently and to attend FAITH ROWE’S wedding, along with a number of old Chefoo and Ruling friends.

“...are due to fly back to Formosa, and three of their family will be back with us then. Somehow, although we have enjoyed our * furlough it will be good to have the kids all back with us again. This big family stuff gets into the blood I guess. Our hearts keep enlarging to take in more and more children, and how we do get to love them while they are with us, yes, in spite of all their faults !
Next June five of our young people will graduate from high school, and by fall will all be away at other schools and colleges. RUTH TOLIVER hopes to enter nurses' training at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia. PHIL COX is applying to enter Philadelphia College of Bible, and FRED FREY and BOB AYTON are both applying to colleges, although it is not yet certain which one they will enter.

We went on to Hawaii also, where we found the story of the work of the missionaries (Congregational and Presbyterian without denominational labels) to be impressive and exciting in their impact on the life of the Islands. Perhaps more interesting, as to Chefoo, our older son John, a medical missionary of recent date, in Seoul, Korea, has met GERTRUDE SWALLEN (of Chefoo).”

Her address there is, Postbus 886 Paramaribo, Surinam, South America. I am sure, she too would be delighted to hear from any of her Chefoo classmates.
