Chub is at home at 471 Beacon Street, Boston, and would like to get a word from any member of the Class at any time.

Wallie Jones is flat on his back in bed in Washington, Connecticut. He had a warning on his heart last February, and an attack of coronary thrombosis in June, and a second attack after he was on his way to recovery in August.

He is expected to start October 15 at the Floyd Bennett Field, Long Island.

The Secretary is in receipt of two booklets, Respirators, Locations and Owners, and The Use of the Respirator in Poliomyelitis, published by The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., under the presidency of Doc O'Connor, which must be a boon to the sufferer from infantile paralysis.

Mayor LaGuardia, in sponsoring the event, said, "With such a man as Basil O'Connor at the head of it, it's not going to be 'a' day at the Fair—it's going to be 'the' day." Also by the way, Doc is playing soft ball every Saturday and Sunday, as captain and manager of the "Hurricane Boys."
