Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES "China Doctor" Not Retiring At 94, Too Young! At 94 the famed China Doctor, missionary Harry W. Miller, almost decided to retire. But he's going to stick it out one more year (at least). Dr. Miller had announced plans to retire and return to the States in July. He had his plane ticket on China Airways, for San Francisco, releases had gone out with pictures for which he had posed, his office at the Hong Adventist Kong Seventh-da- y was out. cleared all hospital But after one last walk around the city he loved, among the people he loved, Miller changed his mind. He just couldnt leave. For 70 years Miller has served the Chinese people as a medical missionary. He began his work in the days when China was ruled by local war lords and bandits. He was the first medical missionary to make his way by river raft and foot into the province of Honan in central China. At one point his river raft was attacked by bandits and the doc- duced the machinery and the process for creating soymilk from the soybean. Since then hundreds of children have been saved through the use of this produce. He helped to establish soymilk plants in strategic areas throughout the Orient, wherever his church had institutions. The use of the soybean as a source of other protein products has, since then, become common knowledge and a big industry in America, with companies like Miles Laboratories turning out soy products. Dr. Miller is a member of the board of the International Nutrition Research Foundation at Riverside, California. He founded the research organization in 1951. In his first announcement of retirement, he had pinpointed Riverside at the place where he would retire. That may still be the place in 1974 if he really does retire then. The missionary doctor is responsible for establishing 15 hospitals in the Far East, the most modern recent being the 150-be- d near Hong Kongs facility Peak. Others are in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and, of course, mainland China, where he spent the major portion of his life. Two months ago Miller performed his last surgery a goiter operation. Goiter is a common ailment in China, and Miller has performed hundreds of such operations. Who knows? He may yet add to that number before he finally plants his feet again on his native soil when and if he does retire. tor carried off. At his first post Miller adopted the Chinese costume, even growing a queue, as was the custom among the Chinese at that time. He later packed a hand press into Honan and, though he had. never been a printer, succeeded- in getting it operating, with locally hand-carve- d type. mission the doctors Early in service he was appaled by the malnutrition suffered by infants in China. There was little milk available for them. He 'turned his attention to providing a substitute, and came up with His inventive genius pro soy-mil- k.

A bored and whining child can make the vacation less than , Page Three FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1973 relaxing. When traveling by car with children it is a good idea to bring along a toy that has movable parts, has sound, stim ulates involvement, and keeps little fingers busy over an extended period of time. This kind of toy will not only keep a youngster happy, but it will also save on the wear and tear of the rest of the family. The Farmer Says, a Mattel See N Say talking toy, is typical of the talking learning toys that make for great traveling as it is light in weight, hbs a handle, requires no bat- teries, and is fun for any child. There are twelve familiar animals illustrated on the face of The Farmer Says. The child turns the farmers arm in the direction of one of the animals and pulls the r - cord. A voice identifies the animal arid does an imitation of the animals familiar sound. The youngster is not only amused but learns while playing. See 'N Say talking toys are among the best toys available for traveling they have moving parts, sound, are colorful, and keep the most inquisitive child busy for many hours. Other See 'N Say talking toys that, also make for fun include: Mother traveling Goose Says, The Bee Says and Count With Colors.. With any one of these toys a traveling child can. be kept amused and happy for hours, which will make for a happy driver and for a happy family vacation. One final tip to fathers going on a family vacation: even if your wife is mostly in charge of caring for the children around the house, try to split the job equally on the road. The wife you save may be your own. pre-schoole- rs , ence. More than one million of the current press run is earmarked for the West Coast, to fill existing orders, Forquer says. The writer of Steps to Christ has been considered by many people to have been a prophet, though she herself never so claimed. She was a prodigious writer. A current index of her writing lists 54 volumes exclusive of hundreds of magazine articles.
