“...A FEW WORDS FROM THE CHAIRMAN Constitution As no formal objections have been made to the proposed changes to the CSA Constitution it becomes operational from 1 st November 1991. Have you ever played that game in which a word is called out and you shout out your immediate association with it? I have found that most Chefusians when you mention ‘Lighthouse Island’ recall the bank of sand down which they rolled on the annual picnic there, over and over until they reached the bottom. There was something satisfying in this blissful moment of forgetting all else and rotating downwards on the warm soft sand. There is perhaps scope for the psychologist to analyse this phenomenon. In actual fact when our Chefoo group, led by Arthur Smith, went to the Island in 1984 the bank of sand had sadly gone with the passage of years. The beach is now level, and in the sand were stones and seaweed. I think that the reason why rolling down the sand bank gave such satisfaction was that momentarily such Chefoo...”

“...elite typewriter with a murky ribbon’ which was found to be 'dismaying' and ‘disheartening’ with a very poor standard of proof reading. The fact is, I am a nurse and have no idea about printing methods. Having been press-ganged into typing out the items on my Amstrad Word Processor which has a dot matrix printer, the cheapest and quickest method I could find of producing the magazine was to have my sheets of A4 typing reduced to A5 and copied. This is what I did. I thought that I was doing the Association as service (having burned the candle at both ends of my normal working day) by producing a magazine at all. Apologies and I hope that I have done better this time. I may as well make the most of my position and ask if any one out there can help me in establishing a family tree on my father’s side. He was Dr George Arthur Cox who sailed for China, from India, with CIM in December 1887 on P & O Steamer Brindisi. He married Miss Lily Thomas in October 1891 in Shanghai Cathedral. They worked in...”

“...THANK YOU THANK YOU At the Reunion (Great Britain) I was called to the front and presented with a cheque for £462.50 (Sterling) donated by many members of the Association in recognition of my forty years as Treasurer. Belatedly I had discovered that a letter had been sent out so I was unable to stop it, but the amount on the day left me dumb-founded and any words that I said then were totally inadequate. Chefoo has, of course, meant so much to me and to our whole family in successive generations so I have been very happy to do this task which kept me in touch with so many over the years. What should I do with this very generous gift is the question I am still sorting out. A few days before the Reunion my fifteen year old freezer finally gave up and as a bumper crop of raspberries were fast ripening in my garden a new freezer was a priority. My next purchase was a good up-to-date atlas as overthe past decades there have been so many changes in once familiar names and boundaries. The balance...”

“...Ophthalmologist, retired in 1988. He has built eight boats, grows all his own flowers from seed, is deep into computer life, but most of all serves God with me in our Baptist Church. He excels in Bible Study and is also past president of the Canadian Bible Society in our area. I myself am very involved in our Church also in community work - am on the Board of Directors for Anson House - a Senior Citizen’s Residence.

My sister MARGARET did go. Had a great time and got some good pictures of...”

“...year of ministry with the Bible Christian Union whose main branch outreaches are based in Europe. The recent changes in Eastern Europe present challenges and opportunities for Christian outreaches. My wife and I keep well. We welcomed grandchild number nine in 1991 and although our children are spread from Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Ontario, we have the joy of seeing them occasionally. We always anticipate the Chefoo reunions in Toronto and wish the very best for our Association. ALAN STEWART (1947-48) Writing in January 1991 Alan tells of his work with radio ministry to the Middle East through Impact Communications including their new venture ‘Contact Conversions’ which is ‘a regularly scheduled print ministry to pick up where the former radio programme left off’. They have been encouraged by the response of this. ISABEL TAYLOR (1911-22) My sister GRACE HARRIS and I continue to live at ‘Fellowship Towers’, a Seniors' Residence in Toronto. We enjoy the comforts and convenience of living...”

“...blessed (I think) in having a ‘Jehu’ for a driver, and made the distance in 3 hours. Over half of the road is now a divided highway and this certainly helped. The other sections of the road had us on the edge of our seats much of the time, as we frequently had two or three trucks dodging swarms of bicycles converging towards us at break-neck speed. On reaching Chefoo, we were given a warm welcome by Mr Yang, Chairman of the Yantai Municipal Committee of the China Democratic National Construction Association, and before we knew it we were in the midst of a 14-course banquet. • Settlement Hill, Chefoo page 42...”
