“...2. President: REV. P. A. BRUCE Vice-Presidents: BISHOP F. HOUGHTON MR. H.F. JOYCE MR. W.D. MUDDITT PROF. CARRINGTON GOODRICH **************** IN MEMORIAM WILLIAM DAVIES THOMAS Born in 1914, spent a period from 1920 to 1931 at our old schools in Chefoo. He emigrated to Canada and joined the Imperial Bank of Canada at Toronto, and remained on staff except for active service in the war of 1939-1945. He became a bank manager and was attending to some of his duties when stricken with a heart attack, from which he died on January 3, 1968, leaving a wife, Violet, whom he met in England during the war and a son, William, born in 1947. BILL was a popular person, active in church, community and welfare work, and he was often seen at Chinese meals or other Chefoo social activities. He will be missed by all who knew him. W, A. S. R.

“...provision. She graduated from Moulton College, a private school in Toronto, and in the middle 1900's she and Mr. Brownlee with their son DANA left for one term in China in the province of Kiangsi. However it was as the gracious, and it seemed permanent, hostess of the Toronto C. I. M. home from 1917 - 1946, that Chefusians will remember Mrs. Brownlee. A great number of us arrived in Canada during that period. For most of us, and for many Americans and British also passing through, it was our first Chefoo-ish port of call. For the Torontonians it remained a sheet anchor and for these while Mr. Brownlee often kept a firm and fatherly eye on their finances, it was through Mrs. Brownlee that they got their first fascinated glimpse of, and made their first gauche adjustments to this very new world. Then after that introduction came reunions, as...”

“...and college holidays. To the Kiangsi crowd particulariv, and these were a goodly number, Mrs. Brownlee was a link — a most welcome link between the China world they knew and this strange other world they were about to explore. We can never forget her. IN MEMORIAM REV. PAUL DAVIS Rev. PAUL DAVIS (no relation to KATHLEEN DAVIS MOORE and PAUL DAVIS in Australia) of the C & M. A. died after a brief illness, but after a year or more of poor health, in Bangkok, Thailand, on Feb 9, 1969. He finished Chefoo in 1935. To his sister, Mrs. MURIEL SJOBLOM, also a Chefusian, and now a missionary with the C. & M. A. in Bangkok, and to his widow and 4 children, the C. S. A. extends their sympathy. **************** GREAT BRITAIN BRANCH GENERAL COMMITTEE OF C. S. A. (Acting also as the Committee for Great Britain Branch) Chairman: REV. J. H.

“...trees from which one can view the game and wild life - a fasinating sight. Then on to Mauritius, a very beautiful island where the swimming is superb. Then a 14 day sea passage direct to Melbourne - and here it was so good to see quite a good number of Chefoo people - Mr. Cyril EDWARDS, Wyn EMBERY, Mary MATTHEWS, Huston and Kitty EDGAR and quite a number more. A pity the time wasn't longer but I am hoping to return to Australia after seeing New Zealand. We are now on the way to Port Kembla (near Sidney) and expect to arrive in Auckland about Jan 24th. After a time in New Zealand I am hoping to visit Tasmania and also to see some more of Australia before beginning my journey back via Canada and the States.

An hour or more away by road, is Changhua, famous for its 72 foot Buddha set high on a hill and seen silhouetted black against the sky for miles away in any direction. David Landsborough (English Presbyterian) is in charge of the neurology unit, and his wife Dr. Jean, of the obstetrics department in the 170 bed hospital. The conversation at lunch time was of course centred on Chefoo. The tour ended with a trip up Mt. Ali, where they viewed a magnificent sunset over the sea of clouds and a radiant sunrise over Mt. Morrison, the highest peak in the island. 4. 30 a. m. was the rising time for those who wished to reach the vantage point from which the sunrise is observed. A few weeks later Wyn's furlough started off in a flight to Seattle, via Tokyo, Honolulu and San Francisco.

There was no time to visit all the Chefusians there but Wyn talked with Mrs. Brock (Miss Gordon of Prep School days) over the phone, had dinner with Merle and Stan Conway and saw Mary (Preedy) Howie so sorely bereaved of her husband at that time.

“...the top of an escalator in a tube station in Toronto because 'I looked like the IDENTIKIT of the Mad Bomber of Toronto.' Apparently this character had been nursing a pet peeve directed against the Commissioner of Transport by letting off bombs in the washrooms of that fair city's underground transport system .' All ended with general bonhomie all round as my apprehender turned out to have close relatives in Taranaki and Canterbury N. Z. .". Had dinner at a Greek Restaurant, (just to vary the Chefoo custom) with John Hoyte and his wife in San Fransisco. It was here to that I became the possessor of a 'FLUB STUB' - a dubious honour in the shape of a document resembling a U. S. A. dollar bill (well vaguely) and actually redeemable for $2 as 'we would be far too embarrassed for anyone else to see it'. It is issued by Western Airlines to any passenger on a plane actually recalled for engine failure - a rare event I was happy to learn '. Took a gamble on the weather by breaking my journey at...”

For Chefusians present, read the children at Country Acres, the Toronto O. M. F. Hostel. It has become the custom to invite this current crop of Chefusians to our reunions. For the dinner, it was ample even by the standards of old China hands, and by the same standards, it was good. VIVIAN GONDER had arranged a showing of documentary films which took us across Canada "from sea to sea"...”

“...Mr. & Mrs. DAVID WICK (MARGERY JOYCE) ROXIE WILSON (nee HANNA). NORTH AMERICAN NEWS Reports from successor "Chefoo's" Nanae "Chefoo School", Hoddaido, Japan "Birthdays fulfill various needs. Auntie MARY (School nurse, MARY WELLER) celebrated hers on Sept. 2nd, but we had a final fling for her last night just after school opening, with a weiner roast on the grass to help folk over that lonely feeling after parents left. Not only weiners but bread and even birthday cake appealed more to some folk after a roasting over the charcoal. DONALD THOMSON and JOHN NETLAND were so busy fixing a booby trap for Auntie MARY that they missed their cake. (They had ice-cream compensation later). The trap was successful too.' with everyone crowded round the bigger boy's bedroom, Auntie MARY walked in first, and down crashed a box of presents from above. (My recollection is that Chefoo booby traps were usually a little less innocuous. Secy). The small boys' room was rather tearful last night, but RICHARD ABRAHAMS...”

“...trip to two Koala farms. Unalphabetical but perhaps the logical place for this Chefoo foot note. A pamphlet published by the Pioneers' Association of South Australia, crossed the far away desk of MARGARET BUNTING, Gifts and Exchanges librarian for the Metropolitan Toronto Public Library. Glancing through it, on p. 9, her eye caught a reference to Paradise of Dissent by Professor DOUGLAS PIKE - our Chefoo DOUGLAS PIKE? If so, as someone has already remarked it's a small world - also with Chefusians scattered all over it, linking the continents. Or are there two Douglas Pike's in Australia? - destroying this beautiful coincidence. Australia please comment. ARTHUR ALLEN writes: "We are happily settled in our little home, and would welcome any Chefoites coming this way.

“...Citizen's groups, church groups and is an ardent do-it-yourself fan. I am in the process of retiring, as the doctor says I have mistreated my heart too long, and it is talking back to me. So I can only work part time, no more floor duty for me, so I substitute for the switchboard girls on their days off, and thus work four days a week only. MORRIS is still living in Beaumont Texas. We four were in Chefoo. I left in 1919, and HERMAN, MARGARET and MORRIS in 1920. The other three BURKWALL's did not go to Chefoo. I saw Mrs. PAUL ABBOTT, who was one of those who used to entertain the American 'minority' in Chefoo on July 4th to make us proud of our heritage. She is living at Westminster Gardens, where we had a good visit together one afternoon while I was there. DAVID H.

“...to have visitors. There's more yard than I care about, but at least it's gotten me outdoors to work on the roses. My Chefoo news is mainly that DAVID HARRIS (about ’42) looked me up on a recent trip, and told me about MARY CULPEPPER WALKER who also lives here in Waco, so about a month ago MARY and I got together and reminisce: She was about 5 years ahead of me, but we knew some of the same people. We enjoyed old pictures of GORDON YORKSTON, the Long Race with "Pa" BRUCE, the girls' rowing team including ANN BRYAN, ROBERTA HAZELTON and others. And then on my way down I met a lady who had lived in Chefoo in the 20's MARY McCRAE WEST never attended school in Chefoo, but her brothers TRUMAN and WALTER and her sister JENNIE did up to 1925. Her parents, the Tully F. McCrea's were Southern Baptist missionaries in Chefoo. She would love to hear from some people who were in Chefoo about that time.

“...teaching in Arkansas. Four of my sisters, SARAH, ESTHER, RUTH AND HARRIET and our three sons, ROBERT, CHARLES AND GEORGE all attended the C. I. M. schools in Chefoo at various times.

JOHN KAUDERER, a most faithful correspondent reports successful detective work locating old Chefusians and hearing from distant ones. "I received Christmas greetings from Table Mountain as viewed from Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, sent by CHRISTOPHER FAIRCLOUGH telling of the delightful time he had visiting friends in Rhodesia and South Africa, and expecting to arrive in Auckland, New Zealand some time in January, 1969. Meanwhile, I have established contact with my classmate, JAMES ORR in Otahuhu, Auckland, New Zealand. You see I remember one summer at Chefoo, when I had gone to the Second Beach by myself and saw a boy in a yellow oilskin casting into a boiling sea. The wind was up, the sea was high...”

“...24. Out of order alphabetically but here's a note about JAMES ORR. A letter to JOHN KAUDERER could be summarized as "messing about, just messing about in boats", but this in the intervals of fishing, (as in Chefoo), shooting, building boats, as well as a house which entailed long negotiations with the Borough Council due to the originality of its construction. Besides these avocations he holds his responsible position with a meat processing company that at its peak period of production accounts among other items for 20, 000 lambs a day. (I can hardly think I am reading those figures rightly, but that is what it says. Secy) JIM pays the farmers for their stock a total of $3 million a month - a full life.
