“...PRESIDENT MR. HOWARD F. JOYCE VICE PRESIDENTS Miss E. Marjory Broomhall Mr. L. Carrington Goodrich Mr. S. Gordon Martin X aXX zi'XX XXVsXX Postscripts on 1981 Chefoo Tours: Reflections on changes in China from 1972 to 1981: Alfred Crofts - Chefoo 1909-1919—(2424 Iliff St., Denver Colorado 80210) In 1972 I was among 30 Americans invited into China following Pres. Nixon's visit to Peking. The Cultural Revolution was then at its peak. Mao's messages were everywhere. Around him had developed one of the greatest personality cults in history. In October 1949 backed by Chou En Lai's diplomacy and the military skills of Lin Piao and Chu Teh, Mao Tse Tung set up a People's Republic of China which acted swiftly to nationalize 1....”

“...death in 1976 his policies personified in his wife and the Gang of Four were repudiated. They were replaced by a counter-revolutionary pragmatist cabal led by Teng Hsiao Ping. I returned to the People's Republic of China m Sept., 1981 with the first of the 'Chefoo' tours. I noticed many changes - e.g. clean white shirts in place of Mao jacket and slacks of peasant blue - no more Mao buttons-Ping Pong only an occasional past time- acupuncture regarded as a medical fad. Only one portrait of Mao remains, over the gateway to the Forbidden City, acknowledging his place in China's timeless history. Education was reorganized. There was no trace of ideological bias in an advanced English text which I examined in 1981, whereas readings in the schools of 1972 bristled with attacks on imperialism. In 1972 the Temple on Chefoo's Temple Hill had, instead of the former idols, huge dioramas showing cruel landlords exploiting their tenants. Now the dioramas have disappeared and the Temple has been beautifully...”

“...is a tantalizing hope that off shore petroleum and gas will solve all problems. They could not only make Socialism workable but end the hegenomy of Europe, making Pacific Asia the workshop of the world. POSTSCRIPT ON TEMPLE HILL Joe Dunlap - Chefoo 1920-27. 420 Riverside Drive, #12G New York, N.Y. 10025) In her admirable account of our centennial trip, Irene Rouse caught the spirit in which Group B returned to the land of our youth and the excitement of actually seeing and moving about in Chefoo once more. I should like to add a postscript for Chefusians for whom Temple Hill was more than a temple, a hospital and a source of day scholars . Those of us on the tour who had lived there were able to visit the Hill twice during our three days in Chefoo. 3....”

“...teaching and working with students in association with the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. After a year's home leave he sailed in 1950 for Taiwan where he served for the next three decades. During the 1950s he was in Taipei in the north of the island working with students, teaching in Universities and Colleges, organizing Bible study classes, conducting and preaching at Sunday services. In 1957 he was appointed Director on a part-time basis to organize the Missionary Language Institute of Taiwan. During the 1960s he moved to Kaohsiung in the south of the island to engage in church planting, and in due course established several congregations. He was engaged in this work when in 1979 as the result of a number of strokes he was invalided home to U.S.A. Now this able and faithful Christian missionary has left to join the Church Triumphant. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth, and by two younger sisters both of whom graduated from Chefoo: Henrietta (Chefoo 1933-1936) who is now in Mexico with...”

“...Margaret(Thomson)Brown - Chefoo 1907-1913 - died in Victoria, B.C. on May 8th 1982. Most of her life, after leaving China, was spent in Victoria, where at first she worked as a stenographer. In 1924 she took nurse's training in Clifton Springs, N.Y., and later married Dr. Arthur Brown. After his death in an accident in Illinois she returned to B.C. and worked in the office of St. Joseph's Hospital in Victoria. She was one of the first to qualify in B.C. as a Librarian of Medical Records, working in this department of several hospitals in the province, and even after retirement did special work in this line for doctors in Victoria. In August 1968 she had a massive coronary but bravely carried on in her own apartment, in spite of great physical handicap, until March of this year when she had to go into hospital. She was always full of love of beauty in all the arts and in nature, and very creative. Her love and appreciation of music began with her piano lessons at Chefoo, which were the highlight...”

“...Milton C. Glittenberg - Chefoo 1934-1941 - was born in Shanghai on Feb.29, 1928. As a 'leap-year baby', fun-loving Milt, would celebrate his birthday twice - the 28th as well as March 1st. In August 1941 the family returned to the States. Milt graduated from high school in Chicago, and after joining the army, he became a paratrooper in Japan. He settled in Racine, Wisconsin where he was a male secretary. For years he was radio announcer for The Dairy Statesmen Barber-Shoppers with whom he enjoyed singing. Milt succumbed in Feb. 1981 to cancer and died at the Veterans' Hospital in Milwaukee. Memorial gifts went to the Institute of Logopedics in Wichita, Kansas, which benefits from Barbershop Choruses throughout the country. Their motto is 'We sing that they shall speak. Not having a family of his own, "Uncle Miltie" is not only remembered by nieces and nephews, but especially missed by his sisters, Ruth Starr and Carol Primuth, and brother Ken who ministered so faithfully through Milt's...”

“...Warren Knight - Chefoo 1908-1917 died in Melbourne in Dec.1981. He had a great love for the China Inland Mission and for Chefoo School. After leaving Chefoo he took medical training at the University of Toronto, returning to China as a member of the C.I.M. in 1928. In 1932 he married a fellow-worker from England, and after their honeymoon in Wei-hai-wei he enjoyed a return visit to Chefoo to play cricket for the Old Boys against the school team. Warren's missionary service (1928-1945) was spent in hospitals in Shansi province and after the Japanese invasion in Kweichow. After the war he and his family settled in Tasmania, where he worked as a medical officer in various districts of southern Tasmania and in the Hobart Repatriation hospitals. Fellow Chefusians Alec. Entwistle and Jack Burgess both helped him to get these jobs with the Tasmanian Medical Service. Alec, writes, 'Dover, on the coast of Tasmania was his joy, a mountain behind and a quiet bay in front, full of fish for breakfast...”

“...by his wife and daughter, and other family members, for his kind, gentle generosity. All was done so quietly, no one else ever knew of his kindnesses. He had been strong and apparently in good health, but there was a progressive hardening of the arteries of the brain and he had an aneurysm 10 days before he passed away. A.M.F. Ernest G. Thomson - Chefoo - 1905-1914 - died in Delta, B.C. on Nov.26th 1981. He was overseas with the Canadian forces in World War I. On his return from France he took a Business Course, worked for the Canadian Bank of Commerce and later for the Federal Civil Service. He suffered greatly with gastric ulcers in the '30's1(probably due to slight gassing in France in World War I) but stoically kept going. Even after retiring he took a course in Real Estate and was active in that business until shortly before his death. He never lost his sense of humour or his dignity. One of his step-sons said at his memorial service. 'His was an excellent example, and I hope to become...”

“...arranged a surprise party for her. She was expecting me, and was thrilled when 12 other relatives (mostly cousins), including her younger sister Rene Mitchell, joined the party. During tea many of the residents of the Strathallan Baptist House where Margaret has been for over 20 years, came to our table to give her birthday greetings. She still enjoys pottering round the garden and helps the crippled ladies to and from the dining room. She writes many letters and corresponds with several of her Chefoo friends...About himself Jack says, 'I have shown colour slides of my trips to China in 1959 and 1981 to several Church and School groups. 12 ....”

“...News from Britain: Reg & Eileen Bazire - Chefoo Staff - 1928-1945 - write from their home, 7 Grosvenor Park, Bath BAI 6BL to thank us (N. America C.S.A.) for their birthday cards -(for their 82nd and 80th birthdays respectively). 'We are both fit and active, though beginning to feel our ages. Our son Peter and his family live next door and keep an eye on us'. We have greatly enjoyed visits from Chefusians visiting this country, and would welcome more. It was good to see Irene Rouse and have a mutual exchange of pictures and photos of Chefoo. I still have all my sketches of Chefoo & Weihsien and Irene was actually able to tell me more about some of them than I knew myself!' Marjory Broomhall: (1902-1912 - Staff - 1925-45) is at Cornford House, Cornford Lane, Pembury, Tunbridge Wells, Kent TN2 4QS.

Committee in London, the very thought brings back memories of many happy days and of wonderful friendship.' Sylvia(Welch)Long: Chefoo 1935-1945 - writes in March from 104 Lyford Rd., London SW18 3JP, of a 'new direction' for her husband and herself. 'In November, instead of retracing our steps out east, we expect to return south, as Neville has accepted the S.African O.M.F. Home Director's position. Kathy(Judd)Lyall: Chefoo - 1913-1923 (13 Ferbies Close, Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.) in her 'Thank-you' for her birthday card, says, 'We have just got back from a week in Dorset county which we found very lovely.

“...California Reunion Chopsticks and Chiao-tzus and a wondrous assortment of succulent Chinese dishes put everyone in a Chefoo mood at the garden party get-together of the Southern California Chefooites. For many it was the first reunion with schoolmates from a very distant past, a time for shared memories of names and places and customs we thought we had forgotten. We discussed lots of interesting things such as hoggie-doggies and cholera belts and the long run, handkerchief inspection, the breaking-up storm, and Butterfield & Swire. We even managed some brave, shaky verses of "Aedes Patriti", "There is a boarding school", "School that we love", Greet we the school", "The monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga", "How Great is the God we adore", and "Lord of all power and might". Sometimes there were several versions being sung simultaneously. Has anyone ever compiled a Chefoo songbook? The highlight of the evening was hearing Hester(Kiehn) Caldwell tell about her recent trip to China, a 21-day...”

“...daughter of the C.I.M. I merely tighten my belt and look a bit harder for odd jobs.' Dr. Eva Arendt-Racine - 1933-36 (1650 Cedar Ave., Montreal, Que. H3G 1A4) Our trip to Chefoo and China with my husband, Gaston, in Sept. 1981, was interesting. I have mixed feelings about it. We need to pray more earnestly for these millions in China. Perhaps we think too much of Chefoo and not enough of the needs of China. My sister Hetty got married in September '81. She retired from nursing at age 60, and inherited children and grandchildren. Her husband is an old friend in Montreal. Now she is Hetty Berry. Sam is becoming an expert at cooking Chinese meals. He won the Canadian trophy (as well as other awards)for the best red canaries. It is a hobby and he sells them all over North America. Anyone want one? We hope to have a Montreal Chefoo Reunion. 22 ....”

“...friends of Cathie Nicoll, so when she visited them last Fall, I had the pleasure of listening to her speak to some ladies on her recent trip to Chefoo, - quite exciting to say the least'. It was good to see Cathie again. I attended a meeting recently of the Canadian Bible Society and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the speaker of the evening, Rev. Daniel Racine, was the step-son of Dr.Eva Arendt-Racine'. It was also good to have a telephone conversation recently with David Clarke who lives in Montreal, not too far from Sherbrooke. I keep in regular touch with Muriel Irene(Trickey)Bourne in England, and Alice(Taylor)Forrest in Scotland, also Miss Ina Lucia in England. It was a wonderful thrill for our family to visit these friends 3 years ago. I have just finished reading Norman Cliff's book, 'Courtyard of the Happy Way' his account of Chefoo and Weihsien Camp - It brought back many memories. 23....”

“...Goodrich has not quite caught up to me! I have the latest Chefoo magazine ('Tours and Reunions') near my favourite chair and often look it over. Joe Dunlap sent me a package of pictures of the 'new Chefoo' (as seen by the Tour group in Sept.,1981). I am wondering where anyone wanting such pictures could get them. My parents both died of cholera in Chefoo in 1909 when I was 17 and in the U.S.A., leaving my 4 sisters and 2 brothers orphaned in Chefoo. Now our family or clan has grown to over 90 - scattered all over the USA. I keep pretty well in touch with them all. Mr & Mrs James McMullan(Sr.) were very close friends of my parents, and it was in their home that my parents died.

“...began my new temporary job as Guest House Hostess in Manila (Address P.O. Box 6, Valenzuela, Metro Manila, Philippines). This is an interesting place to be, with so many missionaries and visitors passing through. While my heart is still in Ifugao and I hope to return as soon as someone else can take over this job, I am happy to be available to meet this need. Virginia(Cooper)Davis - 1934-1937 (514 Shuttle Meadow Ave., New Britain CT. 06052) My sister Ruth(Cooper)Demarest and I were members of the Chefoo Reunion Tour of Sept., 1981. It was a remarkable experience. Although we could not approach our old home and had only glimpses of the school buildings, so much was the same, while so much was different. Sharing the visit with all the others, all of whom had been absent for so long^was very moving. I think if we had not all been together it would have been depressing, but together it was moving. All of us had bits of information about people and events that made so much seem real. 26....”
