1928*

With the world in such turmoil, it is interesting to see how many of our classmates are in danger areas. Although there are no '28ers in Europe or Africa, we have three in Asia. Chris Livingston represents an oil company in French Indo-China, and is the only Dartmouth man in that colony. Lew Beers has just received a letter from him, written in Shanghai, saying he was going back to his post. For the past 13 years he has been out in China, Japan, Indo-China and India, with intermittent leaves. He was in Texas for several months last year. He asked for the addresses of Dave Thompson, Howie Haley, Charles Hunt, John Neary and John McGuire. His own address is c/o The Texas Company (China) Ltd., Saigon, Indo-China. Also living in the Far East are George Bell, who survived the bombardment of Tsingtao, China, where he represents the Standard Vacuum Oil Company, and Gerald Warner, who is an American consul in Japan.

Bill Breyfogle, of Peterboro, Ontario, is the author of an excellent short story, Crashaw on Strategy, which appeared in the SATURDAY EVENING POST of September 7.

During the discussion at the first 'aB dinner of the season in New York, a show of hands revealed a majority (14 out of 23) believed the United States would be drawn into the war, but only one believed the British Empire would be broken up.

Before dinner Clark Harrington hit the jackpot on the nickel machine and very kindly furnished all the free beer the boys could drink. Cal Billings was elected chairman of the dinner committee for the coming year. The next dinner will be at the Dartmouth Club on November 13.

Brougham Wallace, whose appointment as assistant treasurer of the Guaranty Trust Cos. was announced last month, is engaged to Miss Claire Brennan, daughter of Mrs. Valentine A.

Wally and Natalie Carr of Ridgewood, New Jersey, are celebrating the arrival on September 1 of another little girl, PennyPenelope is her right name but she is always called Penny The Frank Tindles of Buffalo are mighty pleased about Barbara Elizabeth, who arrived on September 26 The Willis Mitchells of Wiscasset, Maine, are doing handsprings over the arrival of a boy in their family on October 4. In his excitement, however, Mitch forgot to send us his name And now, in the Better-Late-Than-Never Department, we doff our hat to the Ted Howard's infant son, John Brewster, who was born last May.

Among the programs of which he is in charge are the United States Tobacco show on Monday nights at 8:30 and the program called Adventures of Mr. Meek Dr. Milt Hoefle of Brooklyn, spent three weeks recently at the Mayo Brothers Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota, studying the latest developments in medical technique; this was his sixth annual visit Les Mason and his wife are now living in Buffalo, where Les is teaching at the State Teachers College. Les received a PhD. in History at Cornell last Spring. He says the rush for the "first look" at the ALUMNI MAGAZINE in his home is terrific. Does anyone else have similar trouble?

Art Holden, the Mighty Hunter, has transferred his activities from the home office of the Plymouth Cordage Company, Plymouth, Massachusetts, to the Chicago office. This should make Art and his wife happier because now they are much nearer to their favorite hunting ground, the mountains of South Dakota. In fact, at this very moment they are off hunting in South Dakota Thirteen 'aBers are listed in the Directory of Dartmouth Lawyers in New York City and Vicinity, just published by the Alumni Council. They are Dous Blair, Max Eile, Bill Hobson, Myles Lane Gordon Lowe, Bill Marx, Bill Monaco Barney Nova, Johnny Scott, Bill Treanor Hank Walker, Collier Weeks, and Ed Wheatley. If you want the address of any of these men, or any other classmate, write your Secretary.
