Among those sailing the same seas from June of '24 is Peanut Eaton. He continues in the 343 Madison office of the Air Reduction Cos.
Flood news as it effected the Cincinnati area would have been welcomed, but the following from Otie Jackson, written before that disaster, bears quoting. "Thewestern brajich of the Jackson family (Eastern branch represented by Dick Jackson,7iow in Hanover) is rapidly becoming wellburdened with fruit. Our fourth child,Eleanor, was bom last September 28. Iasked Coffin whether any of the Chicagogang could compete with us, and I stoppedhim cold. He hasn't uttered a word. Afterour trip East last summer we moved intonew quarters here in the parish house nextto the church (St. Mark's Episcopal, 4019Gilmore Ave.). We designed most of it ourselves, and are very happy in what we feelis our best home yet. We'd be delighted tohave callers. Just now we are in the midstof redecorating the church. This too is agreat source of satisfaction to us, becauseit is all paid for in advance and marks theend of a five-year struggle to free thechurch from debt with the bank."
The board of the American Unitarian Association, holding its meeting in Boston a short time ago, nominated the Rev. Everett M. Baker, minister of the Westminster Unitarian church of Providence, as one of the three administrative vice presidents. Ev is serving this year as secretary of the Rhode Island Dartmouth Association.
The Mechanics National Bank of Worcester is losing a trust officer this month, when Cleve Poole shifts his investing proclivities to the Phoenix Bank in Hartford, Conn.
Florida's Dartmouth sleuths uncovered the signature of Elliott Hill on the register at Hill's Travel Service, St. Petersburg, who in turn informed this column that he used to live there, returns now to visit, but is still connected with the New York Tele- phone Cos., married, and residing at 2 Marine Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.
Red Newell, a news pillar if ever there was one, sets down a few remarks about Shanghai and the National City Bank. "Fromyou and Stan Lonsdale, I have a gratefuland vivid picture of the 1936 footballseason as could have been gained onlythrough rose-colored glass (probably FourRoses). Heaven knows when I shall see another football game, as the next leave is duethis spring. However, '39 is a big spring forus, and I shall do all I can to be on deck forthe Fatiguing Fifteenth. The idea of being in Hanover either spring or fall isgood for a thrill anytime. Clara, (February10 was our first anniversary) is beginningto weaken in her defense of U. of California vs. Hanover. Perhaps her defensewill go up when she sees me after the Fifteenth, but I'm not worried about thatyet.
"We just returned to the 'factory' afterthe Chinese New Year's holidays, duringwhich we took a motor trip to Hangchowand environs, about 140 miles out ofShanghai. With long hours at the officeand wintry weather, there hasn't beenmuch chance to exercise around here.Manage a bit of bowling now and then,but this can scarcely be considered bodybuilding, with the Haig Bros, and theAmerican Tobacco Company so active inthe game. Missed the championship by 5pins in g games last year, and hope to dosomething worthwhile this season. Manythanks for all the messages and my 'veribest' to the gang."

Chinee Allen and Rufs Miller staged one of Hanover's most popular performances of the year. A Worcester observer brought back news that it was a "sell-out." About the same time Chinee sent along the details as follows:
"Rufs Miller, assistant dean of the Medical School, and I gave a joint talk to theundergraduates on the much publicizedtopic of syphilis. Rufs showed some moviesthat were not at all softened, and whichcaused a few of the less rugged to leave andat least one to faint. I followed up with ashorter talk on the psychological side ofit, with particular reference to attitudestoward the problem of social disease campaign and the effects on the nervous system. We expected a handful of earnestyouths, but instead they packed the room,and even sat in the high-up-on-the-wallwindows. If I thought we could repeat atwill, I tuould take the movies and the talkon the road and build myself a house withthe proceeds."
Chinee also enclosed a clipping with a picture of Ed Voorhis' father, run in the New York Tribune with a story of his pioneering in New Jersey real estate. Chinee called attention to the tremendous similarity between father and son. Ed died the first year after graduation. Chinee also announced in his letter that he was taking a sabbatical the second semester next year to study some psychological factors in methods of treatment of the insane at the State Hospital, Concord, N. H.
