Sunday, July 17. 1935 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNX FIVE Third Letter From Wests Tells of Formosan Visit (Editor's note: From Taipeh, Formosa, Dr. D. Kirkland West has sent the Mail Tribune his third letter dealing with conditions in the far east. Dr. West and his wife are on a "Ministry to Mis sions" world tour. He is pastor of the Presbyterian church here.) Medford the first two weeks of ; Text of the last correspon dence, dated Sunday, July 10, follows: " 'Formosa' means 'beautiful.' For once a place more than lives up to its name. Yesterday's trip made me homesick for the rocky gorges of the Rogue river. The mountains shot straight up from a roaring rock studded river to over 10,000 feet. Looking into the deep green water one could see trout swimming around just waiting for a competent angler. "We hiked up a steep mount ain path, by soldiers carefully checking our passes, and finally came to the little Christian church of the aborigines. These people were once known as the 'Formosa Head Hunters.' A man could not be considered a suitor until he had proven his man hood by taking at least one head. Changed - "Yet these very people had been changed by the Gospel and the little children sang 'Jesus Loves Me' in their native Tyal dialect. "At the foot of the mountain we met several soldiers who had been Chinese .Communist sol diers but who had been captured by our American troops. While prisoners they were visited by the Rev. Earl Woodbury, a Pres byterian missionary, and they re nounced Communism and Mr. Woodbury was decorated by both President Eisenhower and Presi dent Chiang Kai-shek. "Mr. Woodbury was with me and he called these soldiers over and we were shown the Chinese Nationalist flag tatooed on their chest-and on their left arms the marks 'Oppose Communism. Resist Russia.' These men will pay with their lives if ever they are captured -by the Commu nists. Yet here is the hope for the free world over 30,000 former Communists chose to come to freedom and Taiwan leaving home and family rather than re turn to Communism. Here is a story that should be told over and over Communism can be licked and millions under, the heel of Communism long to be free and will fight to the death to regain that fiedom. Answer, 'No' . 1 "Do the people of Formosa think they will soon return to the mainland? The answer to that is 'No.' They are quite real- DRUNK KILLS MOTHER Tampa, Fla. U.R Daniel G. McDaniel, 35, sobered up in jail and moaned, "I still can't believe it." While drunk, police charged Saturday, he had bat tered his 70-year-old mother to death. McDaniel was arrested Friday after the bruised, blood ied body of Mrs. Bessie Coken McDaniel was found in ' her home. Four rooms were disar rayed. . '. , fear that we will give in to the Communists and will sign over Formosa to them as we gave the Communists all of Manchuria and parts of Japan at Yalta. "One . very well informed American said, 'Why. do we al We could have defeated the Chi nese in Korea had we . been al ways throw away our victories? lowed to and . we could have saved China in so doing.' You may not agree with his position but it is one he holds along with many more who know the true situation. Today is Sunday and I have visited four church services al ready this morning and spoken at each service. This afternoon I have two more services at which I am to speak. "If I am to get this out by the 2 p.m. mail I must stop now. More impressions will be sent from Hong Kong where we go on Tuesday." :. , : Church Group Plans Benefit Card Party At Black Oaks Site The Auxiliary guild of Saint Mark's church will hold a bene fit bridge and canasta tea July 22, starting at one p.m. Black Oaks Conference ' cen ter on the Rogue River will he the scene of the affair. , Door prizes will be awarded.
