We greatly enjoyed having Tom with us, and he brought us a little news of. the New York crowd. Tom has three sons at Saint Paul's School now. Pen Mower had a good deal of explaining to do, but he had many volunteer helpers. Matt Bullock told us a football story which proved true the following day. The grandfathers of the class, Lampee—Withey— Woodbridge—and Andrews, were represented by Andrews. Ralph Sexton spoke on the desirability of everyone's subscribing to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Bob Wing, our freshman visitor, gave us his Hanover viewpoint in a very interesting manner. We had a fine evening, perhaps the best roundup yet.
On Sunday, Oct. 13, there was celebrated at the Church of Our Redeemer in Lexington, Mass., the fiftieth birthday of the Parish. Rev. R. Eliott Zeus Marshall, sixteenth rector, recounted the history of the Parish since its establishment.
The Chicago Tribune of October 15 said, "Federal Judge William H. Holly yesterdayappointed Paul Darrow permanent trusteeof the Chicago Elevators Properties, Inc.,wholly owned subsidiary of the RosenbaumGrain Corporation." Paul had previously been one of three trustees of the Rosenbaum Corporation.
Louis E. Jig Leverone is to be congratulated on his recent election as Vice-President of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce. We missed Jig at the Boston Round-up.
Mrs. Norton and Dan have already gone to Florida for the winter, expecting the change will be helpful to Dan. I have a hunch he would enjoy hearing from some of us. His address is Dr. D. C. Norton, care of Mrs. M. S. Wallace, 302 Cedar Street, Clearwater, Florida.
On Halloween day, which is Mrs. Austin's birthday, we journeyed over to Saint Mary's in the mountains to visit Deborah. On our arrival, we were surprised to find Deborah at the steps talking to Sid Rollins. Sid and Mrs. Rollins had arrived a few minutes earlier to visit their daughter Sidney—Mrs. McLane of Saint Mary's provided tea and a surprise birthday cake, and the RollinsAustin families had a fine party.
Tinker Gale returned home on October 30 from Nojth Conway Memorial Hospital minus one appendix, plus a good recovery. He writes, "I now appreciate the value ofa good hospital and top hole physician andsurgeon .... as a Trustee of this hospital,I can tell you I am going to take my jobmost seriously in the future .... my stayin bed was made as endurable as possibleby the best of nursing and kindly thoughtsof friends and neighbors. It warmed myheart to get the telegram from '04 men at.Round-up .... expect to see Dartmouth Cornell game at Hanover As usualI expect to stay pretty closely at home. Havea swimming pond on my mind and a newElectric Refrigerator." .... It's a habit or a racket, someone else is going to operate on Tinker.
Squid Lampee has been outfitting Ned Willis' Bank with labor-saving facilities designed probably to double the number employed. The immediate result, however, has been for the Lampees and Willis' to spend some time together to their mutual advantage.
AMERICA'S TOWN MEETINGS
Do you know that the Town Meeting Hour, 9:30 to 10:30 Eastern Standard Time, WJZ, is a home product? The chairman of the Radio Advisory Committee having it in charge is Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, and the broadcast is under the auspices of the League for Political Education. Modeled after the old New England Town meetings, the League makes this statement in its invitation to speakers: "There are norestrictions to freedom of speech on thisdiscussion except that the meetings mustbe conducted in an orderly manner, and nolibelous or unlawful attacks on individuals,organizations or institutions may be made."
Following the first Town Meeting of the Air broadcast, which was mentioned in these notes last Spring, there was a flood of more than 3,000 letters of congratulations from men and women in all walks of life. Rather nice, isn't it, to know that one of us intimately connected with this very desirable use of radio? Some of us would be nght at home in a New England Town Meeting Ask us in sometime, Harry.
Major Burritt Havilah Rosie Hinman of 'he Judge Advocate General's Office, War Department, Washington, D. C. opines thus: his business transfer was accomplished August 3, and his office is in the Otis Building, 18th and H. N. W„ and the Hinman residence is 2250 No. Vernon Street, Cherrydale, Virginia. He reports a scarcity of Dartmouth men in Washington, but he occasionally sees Andy '03 Jackson who is with the Securities Exchange. Says Rosie—'"lhated to miss the dinner before the Harvard game. I want to assure you, had I beenthere, my conduct would have been exemplary on account of my having beenpromoted to Major this summer. The deportment of a Major must always be dignified, a fact of which you have never beenaware as about the only Major you haveknown is Sid Rollins Mr. P. Mower's marriage interested me greatly. . . . .It is needless to say that I miss Boston andthe association with the boys. I had a greattime during the nearly five years that Iwas there and will always cherish the memory of a gang which refuses to get old My presence in Washington has not as yetaffected any of the National policies; however, I expect that you will notice a changein the next few months. Best wishes to allthe boys through you."
The annual trip to New Haven was a very satisfactory one. As far as I have been able to learn, our group was represented by the Rollins', Logans, Austins, Ned Bartlett, Frank Doonan, and Mrs. Jackson and Delbert "Buddy" Junior. Considering Buddy's youth, he has a fair show to see us beat Yale once more and some of the rest have hopes. I think it may become an annual custom.
On our way home from the Yale game we * visited the Jacksons in Brookline. I spent a pleasant hour with Carl Woods who was in deep mourning because he had missed the game; otherwise he was as always the genial young man of the class, intensely interested in his job as President of the Alumni Council to which he gives much time and thought. The Woods family are all fine. Katherine is at Miss Hall's School at Pittsfield, Mass., and Jim is at home, in business with his dad. Way up in the top of the Post Office Building, Ike Charron looks after the affairs of the Circuit Court of Appeals and entertains his friends by the use of a pair of German-glasses of such high power that he is able to keep in touch with Trans-Atlantic shipping within a twentymile radius. Mrs. Charron and Lucille are well, and Ike is in pretty improved health. Had a sidewalk chat with Robbie on Winter Street—he is fine and had just completed arrangements for a Sears Gallagher etching to be sent to the newly-wed Mowers from the Round-up group. Entertaining an unwelcome visitor in the form of an arthritis Bug, Mrs. Robinson is quite uncomfortable but hopeful that the discomfort will be soon over. Betty, who graduated from Wellesley in June and spent the summer in Germany, is at home.
Matt Bullock writes, "Well we have atlast beaten Yale . ... I venture the opinion now that we will lick them, about asoften as they lick us. I hope the team canmeet Princeton without defeat and in goodshape .... though I appreciate the teamat Princeton, I am of the opinion that theycan be licked." Matt says further .... "Last June my boy took five of the CollegeBoard exams and passed with an average ofBsplus . ... I took him to Hanover tothe Norwich game and though he wasmuch impressed with what he saw, he stilldesires to go to Bowdoin and has been admitted there."
