A home town enterprise backed by national experience

An Advertisement of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company

THE Bell System is a home town enterprise in operation so that each community may have service that suits its needs. It is a national enter

prise in research, engineering and manufacture so that every telephone user may have the best that concentration and quantity production can achieve.

There are twenty-four operating companies devoting their energies to telephone problems throughout the United States for example, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company operating throughout lowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. It has 11,000 men and women friends and neighbors of the other people in their towns working to maintain in its territory the best standards in telephony now known.

InNewYork,in the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Bell Laboratories, are 5000 persons, including scientists, engineers and consultants in management, engaged in inventing better apparatus and discovering better ways to do things.

The Northwestern Company with its 11,000 employees has the use of all that this group of 5000 in New York discover and perfect. Likewise the other twenty-three operating companies. They are regional or ganizations adapted to local conditions, but behind every telephone in city or hamlet is the national organization for the development of the telephone art.

Dashing Bill Mann is now rated as assistant commercial attache, Department of Commerce, with the following haunting address, 35 Sharia Kasr el Nil, Cairo, Egypt. When Bill wrote in March the Duke of Hanover (nee James Campion) had just visited him, evidence enough that the Dartmouth institution needs no aid from the Rockefeller Foundation. Bill told us last year when he was in New York of an auto trip, Cairo to Bagdad. He took the same trip this year in an airplane.

Harvey Zuckerman is in New York studying for the ministry. Clifford Burrowes (Kip) Orr is manager of the Doubleday-Doran Bookshop, Wall St., New York.

We have Harry Liao's address as Chinese Legation, Tokyo. Is this correct?

Lawrence Campbell writes that Clayton Wilkin is living at 47 Fairview Ave., West Springfield, Mass.

Ken Caldwell is with Shea's Kensington Theatre, Buffalo, N. Y.

Phil Leighton is in Atlanta, Ga., steering a W. T. Grant store.

Phil Kimball lives in Columbus, Ohio, where he is district traffic superintendent for the Telephone Company.

Your old friend and college pal attended the annual meeting of class secretaries in Hanover the first week-end in May. An account of the proceedings of that meeting appears elsewhere in the MAGAZINE, and I would suggest reading it. While in Hanover I looked for Wilbur Bullen, but that worthy was out of town carrying the flag of Archie Peisch. I had lunch with Mr. and Mrs. James Hamilton and their daughter Shirley. The Hamiltons live in one of the new faculty houses off West Wheelock street below the gym. The Community Chorus gave the Pirates of Penzance that week-end, and Jim had a principal part, as Pirate King, and did very, very well. When Jim Campion sold out recently, Jim Hamilton was one of the three who bought in. And to round out his activities Jimmy has won a pewter set as highest scorer during the tournament held at Max Norton's new alleys.

Your hungry correspondent had dinner with the H. Wests, and inspected a raft of books that the Philosopher has been acquiring. Mrs. West, who takes part in various plays given in Hanover, is going to attend the dramatics camp at Peterborough during July and August. H. is going to work on the books in Hanover this summer.

Sunday dinner I had with the Carletons, the General being in town from Concord. His next public appearance was to have been in the Capitol at Washington in quest of tax favors for the state. John states that Ford's Laconia agent, Dick Bowler, doth flourish.

Bobby Bartlett, who will take his degree in June and then proceed to Harvard Medical, was observed as one of an all-star quartet in chapel. Bob must be pretty close to being the oldest living undergraduate of the College.

Your Secretary suggests a visit to Hanover to anyone who hasn't watched the changing physical aspects of the town closely. The Baker Library is quite beyond description. Doc Griggs is presiding over a building for his birds, embryos, algae, and larvae that stands where used to stand that bulwark of Dartmouth, the first and only. Any R. Van W. in the class who waits twenty years to go back will undergo a severe attack of pop-eyes.

We understand,, although not of course by direct word from him, that Doc Stetson had a grave emergency operation for appendicitis during April, but happily thwarted the bugs.

Pinney and FHH (broadcasting) had a long conversation with G. Busher, Bronx realtor, on the sidewalk in front of the Equitable Building recently, when suddenly without a warning our former wrestling manager whipped out of his pocket an elegant brochure carrying picture and description of the Busher Building, a ten-story building in that quaintest of Old World cities, the Bronx. Chick was willing to admit to a part in building it. Has anyone Pop Clewell's address?
