1889

The Secretary has received a 20-page pamphlet entitled:

"THE HISTORY OF YORK COUNTY, MAINE and a Rambling Narrative about the TOWN of ELIOT and its mother-town OLD KITTERY with Personal Reminiscences.

"An Address delivered by Ralph Sylvester Bartlett at Exercises held in Eliot, Maine, August 29, 1936, in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of York County in the Province of Maine."

Probably others have received copies of this address, which it is difficult to summarize, but is full of interest to Dartmouth men, as well as to those who have acquaintance with Eliot and York county. Thanks and hearty congratulations to Ralph.

Ned Dearborn has sent a snapshot of himself, his daughter, and his granddaughter, all clad in bathing suits (date of excursion not given) on a beach, evidently homeward bound, carrying a string of baby sharks. The title is: "Three generations of Dearborns set for a snack-o-shark," with this explanatory word: "We prefer shark cutlet to halibut steak.".... How many of his classmates have eaten shark meat? It must be good, for Ned is a scientist, truthful and discriminating Another photograph shows a dozen or more trees, horizontal on the ground, labeled: "Beaver work."

Frost's address for this winter is 3102 50th St., S., Gulfport, Fla. His Christmas card shows two pictures, one of tall palm trees in the midst of brilliant flower beds, the other of two humans, each with a shovel, and an abundance of snow. The inscription is "While flowers are blooming in Florida, you shovel snow up North." Is this a defense mechanism? Is Harry trying to make us think he is happy, banished to the tropics of Florida, while really he longs to be back in his native New England?. . . One of the Boston papers, Dec. 30, commented on the establishment of a hotel and resort department through the consolidation of the former F. D. Collock agency with the Harry M. Frost Company, Inc., advertising agency, 260 Tremont St., Boston, marking the extension of the Frost agency into the recreational industry on a large scale.

Miner and his wife visited Richmond and Williamsburg, Va., during the recent holidays.

Reynolds reports "a rather tough time with the hurricane" and the "35-foot flood, the third highest in the history of the city." In spite of extra work and anxiety during many weeks, Frank has come through in good health and is "looking forward with great interest to our reunion next June."

Secretary, 87 Milk St., Boston
