W.D.MUDDITT afc 5fe jfc * * * * * * sfc afe * * * # jfc IN MEMORIAM ESTHER WILHELM KLETT (Ruling 1947 - 1950) My dear friend ESTHER KLETT is now with the Lord. ESTHER you know was married and had three small daughters. When expecting the third little one, cancer was discovered and she was operated on. Everything seemed all right, but several months ago now, the cancer recurred. We received a lovely letter from Papa and Mutti Wilhelm telling how ESTHER was a shining testimony right to the end. ESTHER wrote personal letters to each member of her family while on her death bed, urging each one of them to accept the Lord as their Saviour or to go on with Him faithfully, as the case may be. How thankful I was that I had seen her while on furlough - and one day will meet again. WANDA HUMBLE (nee Hazelton) IN MEMORIAM HAROLD KIDDER It is my sad duty to inform you of the passing of our...”

“...future, and he took care of everything for the convenience of his wife and two daughters. He had the sensitivity of both an artist and a musician and was very careful of details. His wife has a good position in the public schools, and the oldest daughter will be entering the University of Connecticut this fall, so they will be staying on there. One can always see the hand of a kind Providence in everything, and we are so grateful that the end came suddenly and he did not have to suffer long. His pastor remarked about his tremendous faith and courage. He was greatly admired and loved by many of his students, because he knew how to be a friend as well as a teacher. J. EDWARD KIDDER (HA ROLD' S father) IN MEMORIAM DR. FREDERICK DREYER (known to his contemporaries at Chefoo fifty years ago as "Cheshire") died in Allenton, Pa. in August 1967. IN MEMORIAM MRS. LILIAN MONA WAINWRIGHT We are grateful to her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Arnold, who has written us this brief account. "I thought you might...”

“... S. A. , has for some time been trying to retire. The committee has again and again succeeded in getting him to reconsider. The time seems to have come, however, when it is clear that now he really means business. He certainly has earned his retirement. CARRINGTON'S name as the distinguished and pioneering head of the department of Far Eastern History at Columbia University, New York, his extensive knowledge of China and things Chinese, his many books on the subject, and his deep interest in Chefoo make him hard to replace. We thought impossible. For many reasons, the committee felt that the chairman should be an American, and that New York is an excellent and central location. (Yes, I know it is anything but "central" geographically, and I know what else you mean also, but you know what I_ mean. ) Followed considerable correspondence and firm long distance telephone calls. (My telephone bill for the last month is shocking). But long distance telephoning, perhaps because it catches the...”

“...Asheville, N. C. , U. S. A. "At Christmas my wife and I drove down to Miami, Fla., and took plane for Guatemala, C. A., where we were met by our daughter Grace and family, who are working under the Presbyterian board. They drove us some 400 miles to visit most of the Presbyterian stations in Guatemala. After Christmas we attended a get together of the Eastern workers in Guatemala City and on New Year's day the western missionaries in Quezeltenango, where we met Dr. Don Sibley, son of NORM4N SIBLEY of Chefoo. This last district is 8000 feet up and surrounded by the steepest cone mountains, cultivated and terraced by Quiche and Mam Indians. Presbyterians and Primitive Methodists have a joint Bible Institute and a large industrial training work and agricultural program among these Indians. Now we are back at Ben Lippen School where we both work. Our other daughter, Rosalind, continues her work at the University of Michigan Health Center as pharmacist.

“...records as a means of entertainment only. However, the messages on the records, if taken seriously, have implications that are hardly entertaining.' But we are glad that members of non-Christian families come asking for these records, and pray that in God's time, the message may sink in and some who hear may come to know the Lord and put their trust in Him. " EDITH ANDREWS (a doctor), adds "Brother JOHN (Chefoo 1922-26) has now retired as a full colonel after 30 years in the U. S. Air Force. He and his wife and small son and two black poodles have a small home near Washington. D. C. EGBERT (Chefoo 1917-27) and his wife are due to come home on furlough in a few weeks. They are missionaries in Formosa. The rest of us hope to congregate on the East coast in August when my father will be 90 years old, and I might add, a very spry 90. I am now working as a medical consultant for the Pa. Bureau of...”

“...My two older brothers, JOHN and WILLIAM who both went to Chefoo are now retired and living in Florida. " Dr. HAROLD BUCKLEY of Wapato Medical Center, 620 West First Street, Wapato, Washington 98951, U. S. A. writes: "I am still practising in this small rural community in Eastern Washington in association with two other Christian doctors. We are now blessed with a family of five children, the oldest being seven and the youngest over a year, two girls and three boys. We find excellent opportunity for witness both in our practice and in various speaking engagements around the community as well as actively in our local church. I hope that some day there will be a reunion in Seattle when perhaps it would be possible for us to break away from the practice and get over to meet old friends of many years ago. " STAN OLSEN is out of order alphabetically but for a purpose. "Can anybody give us any news about CHARLES A, BUTLAND, who left Chefoo about 1916? For years he was employed by the Asiatic Petroleum...”

“...8. as far as the Chefoo Mag is concerned. Perhaps younger brother BERTRAM BUTLAND could bring us up-to-date....And how about ALFRED and GEORGE HORNE, who left Chefoo about 1914-15, I wonder if EMILY HORNE LARSEN could tell us about their careers and present whereabouts. " BERTRAM BUTLAND, Correo Chapalita T, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, strangely enough answers this "Have been here in Guadalajaraf'Pearl of the West") Mexico since 1959 when we returned from Caltex Oil Co. Every winter thousands of "snow birds" as we call you from the North, America and Canada, come down here, so how about some Chefusians? I keep busy, secretary of our Masonic Lodge Shriners' Crippled Children Hospital, Salvation Army Auxiliary Orphanage, and various charity functions. I do not know whether this is news to you. Two of my old Chefoo school pals passed away. VICTOR HUNT (1918) , we called him "Auntie",died in California, in 1965; and I recently received a letter from Mrs. Carol Howell that her husband HARGO...”

Sister VERNA is still in Chicago, but hopes to move to her home in Florida. No Chefoo people around here of late, except ERNEST GRAINGER. VERNA adds "No news yet, but I'm hoping to see an end to my court case. " ALFRED: "My wife and I visited Canada in September; went to the very dock in Vancouver where I landed on the Empress of Japan from China in 1919. Unfortunately the Canadian rail strike kept me from seeing Jaspar Park and Prince Rupert. Also I was sorry not to meet any "Chefusians". I cited a number of recollections of Chefoo in speaking during January 1967 to the U. S. Air Force Staff College at Montgomery, Ala.

LOIS (GLAZIER) FULGHUM and her husband Tom are candidates under a mission board working in South and Central America. They have three children, Betty, Tom and Brian. Possibly this is confidential, but it was sent in as news: "The only news I can supply is that I am enclosing $2 for my C. S. A. fees - something I have neglected to do since you know when. TI-TI (COULTHARD).

Several children in my class (second grade) have professed their faithin Jesus Christ this year. It's a joy to teach in a school where the Bible is taught and Christian living is emphasized.

MARY RUTH HOWES Chefoo 1937-42 gives assorted Chefoo news. "I spent a week at Christmas in Tucson, Arizona, with my parents, and while there had a brief visit with JOY BRIGGS TRUITT, who was at Chefoo 1920-21. For all that her day preceded mine by a good many years, we found our reminiscence had much in common. WINIFRED EM3REY, GERALDINE LACK, ELSIE ROBB, CATHIE JUDD, SAIMA CROFTS, JOY GUINNESS, ASTRID TURNBULL, ALAN BROCK were some of her classmates, and I suddenly realized how long familiar some of these C. I. M. names had been. JOY lives at 5409 W Bar-X Tuczon, Arizona, 85713, and would very much like to receive Chefoo news. Her father went out in the C. I. M. from Australia, and her mother from the U. S. A. in 1893. Mrs. Briggs is now 98 and still going quite strong. A suggestion for the magazine:...”

We are planning a three weeks trip to England leaving Chicago on April 25. " ISABEL TAYLOR writes: "In my nearly three month trip home last year from Japan's 'Chefoo' to Canada, via S. E. Asia, Switzerland and Britain, among the several hundred friends I met were over 60 with Chefoo connections, (not including the 70 pupils and 12 staff of the present 'Chefoo' in the Cameron Highlands, Malaya). It was most pleasant to see them all.... 4 of my own former teachers, Miss Pyle, Miss Unwin, Mrs. Garwood (Miss Dix to us) and Mrs. Arthur T aylor, half a dozen who were on the staff with me in either Chefoo or Ruling, about thirty of my own contemporaries and over 20 of those I had taught .... the latter group of course grown, many of them, beyond recognition themselves, but often with their own children delightfully resembling them.

DAN KUHN is now a lieutenant and at this moment is on his way to Vietnam. RAY FRAME is there already, in a medical group or rather a field hospital. He says that no one there is safe. His unit, though a hospital, was bombed. JOHN JEFFERY is with the Peace Corps in Santiago, Chile. Frank Wuest took a very interesting set of slides on the Chefoo School in the Cameron Highlands.

JOE SPRINGER is a senior in Wheaton North High School. He plans to attend Knox College next year.

“...MICHELL is at present on furlough from Malaysia. AUCKLAND REUNION REPORT The annual Chefoo Reunion this year was held at the home of DR. and MRS. HOWIE, Epsom, on September 16th 1967 at 5. 45 p. m. There were 16 present. This year we met for a "Chinese Chow" prepared by MARY HOWIE and helpers. After we had eaten, we sat round the table reminiscing while drinking Chinese tea.' After clearing up we sat around the fire chatting and looking at old Chefoo photos and past copies of the "Chefusian" brought along by ERIC THOMPSON. These were edited and produced in Chefoo in the early days and dated back to the 1930's. There were roars of laughter as we listened to school howlers and other amusing anecdotes.' After a short business session at which the President and Secretary-Treasurer were re-elected we were led in Family Prayers by Dr. Howie at which we sang the Chefoo Anthem and The Lord's my Shepherd to the Chefoo tune. This was followed by supper thus bringing to an end a most relaxed and enjoyable...”

“...evening. They were coming with MARJORIE to celebrate Mrs. Douglas's 86th birthday the next day. The latter still lives alone and "does" for herself, and showed me one of the earliest G. S. Chefoo school groups there must be, recalling many interesting events to entertain me. MARJORIE is still doing some teaching, IAN is totally blind but carries on his business with his wife's help. After such a wonderfully long holiday, I still had August to spend with BEA and DOROTHY in Tunbridge Wells. We often visit Comford House, and there saw MRS. ARTHUR TAYLOR, who was happy to have let MARY and HENRY GUINNESS go East with the O. M. F. while she is so well cared for in the Home, and is glad that, although not very mobile, she can still knit squares. (Any odd balls of wool welcome). MISS A. C. COLES of Ruling and Chefoo is also there, and we had great times reminiscing about the day of "the fire" (1915) and the halcyon days before. A disc, which could so easily have slipped out while I was in the north...”

“...25. have masses of room for visiting Chefusians. A friend of mine here is very interested in writing about Chefoo. He says that he is amazed that so small a place should have had such an impact on so many people. Has anyone any idea what happened to Jimmy Moore after our liberation from Weihsien? Also, if anyone has any histories, stories, pictures and/or anecdotes, could we borrow them please? A little news of the present Chefoo School: Mr. Fred Collard writes from the Chefoo School, Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, Malaya to the Treasurer of the G. B. Branch: "We have just received notice of your very kind gift to the school and wish to thank you. From time to time we have received gifts and those from Old Chefusians we have kept particularly for the children's own recreational use. Two years ago we had saved up enough to put up a climbing frame, see-saws and swings. The following year we added a slide and now we are preparing to add climbing ropes and something for the older children....”

“...26. that land prices soared and developers made the landlords too handsome an offer for us to match it. So the old house of many happy memories is to be tom down and a block of 15 flats erected instead. Norman Pateman is leading the search for a new home, and many suggestions have been made but so far nothing suitable has come to light. Younger children are coming home, and we need a house to take 20 children plus staff, with adequate playing room outside, and convenient for shops and for the schools we use. Most vital of all is the need for fellowship with a living church, as we have had here. So we confidently make our needs known to the Lord, sure that he will lead us to the place of His choice. " We are looking forward to hearing the next instalment of this story as it emerges. It will be most interesting to hear about the place to which God is leading them.

Rickshaws claim the party, T ake them to the San, Where a welcome hearty W arms the inner man, Then they ask direction; To the School they seek, And the parent humble Takes his infant meek. By and by they chatter To the school's kind friends, And they hear a clatter Clatter which ne'er ends. How hard-hearted teachers Do not understand, Treat the dears like creatures, Feelingless and bland. One day passing quad-ward On their ears there fall Sounds that neither of them Understand at all. Is this not a Boys' School? Yet an "uncle", "aunt", "Cat" and "doctor" meet them Understand they can't. London Zoo in Chefoo Surely this must be, Animals around them Everywhere they see.
