Wiswall will be 80 years old Dec. 27. Let's send him a shower of cards and letters on that day. Rose and family drove up to Newfane, Vt. to see him recently. They found him sitting up, cheerful, full of stories about old times and sent greetings to all 'B6 boys and girls. He has a happy combination of housekeeper, companion and nurse to care for him.

Hod Clark in Peoria, Ill., has grandsons in two families nearly ready for Dartmouth and hoping to go. Hod says he must soon face an operation in a hospital. He is hopeful about the result, but, at 76, says he is living on borrowed time.

The Secretary also reports that he is now having his annual fight with hay fever and asthma, but is encouraged by the fact that hitherto, if he has lived through August, he has lived through the rest of the year.

Mr. and Mrs. Newton drove to Chicago in July, a total, with various detours, of 2,600 miles. They talked with Blodgett in Toledo, with Mrs. Goodwin in Chicago, and visited Mary Frost in Williams Bay where they saw the sacred star of stone under which the ashes of Edwin are buried, and on which is carved the message "He sought and found order in the Heavens."

Joe Bittinger adds one more to our majority on the other side as told under Necrology by Wood.

WILL STAY UNTIL WINTER

Ned Wardwell is visiting the Newtons this week and with them calling on Pete Richmond. The Newtons will visit the Woods next week. The Newtons also called on the Roses on their way back from Chicago. Rose's daughter attended the conference on Human Relations at Williamstown, Mass. Eight hundred Protestants, Catholics and Jews were seeking a way to peace for this our world.

Both Rose and Wood report delight in their gardens and Tommy and Mrs. Harris swear that they shall both cling to their summer home on Lake Hopatcong, N. J. "until they are frozen out."

Secretary, 215 Walnut St., Montclair, N. J.
