Your Secretary has a letter from Syd Clark from the capital of Ecuador, dated September 25. He is getting material for a new book on the South American countries of the west coast, to match one he published on the east coast last May. He left New York on the Santa Lucia on September 13, and after stops at Barranquilla, Co lombia, and at both ends of the Canal Zone, came to Guayaquil, the only real port in Ecuador. Syd writes that two things were notable about the voyage—one that nobody talked about the war, and two, that the bartender proved to be a devoted fan of Syd's. He bought Syd's books with his liquor tips, and asked for autographs. Syd writes that the Grace Line and the Pan American-Grace Airways are carrying his work all over the Latin country, like a package of future profit in the tourist trade, and that he is called Dr. Clark down there. He flew up from Guayaquil to the capital of Ecuador, over 20,000 foot snow peaks, and finds the capital a wealth of Spanish Colonial art, 9,300 feet in the air. Although 15 miles from the equator, it is cool by day and cold by night. Syd promises to drop us another line from Bolivia or Chile.

If any of the boys know of an opening, it might be of real assistance to Kirk and Laurel.
Doc O'Connor, President of the National Council for Infantile Paralysis, Chairman of the New York Round Table of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, has received the B. F. Goodrich award for distinguished public service as of October 15, last.
Incidentally, Doc's picture appeared in the New York Times of October 8, in connection with a meeting of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, of which he is chairman. Doc will head a citywide committee of 100 leading New Yorkers of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths, who will direct a mobilization to arouse residents of the city against the activities of individuals and groups promoting hatred of religious or racial elements, and to create national unity by encouraging friendship and cooperation among all religious groups. In accepting the chairmanship, Doc said that these purposes would be carried out through a wide expansion of the activities of the New York Round Table, and the establishment of permanent offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens. Doc's picture also appeared in The New York Sun and TheDaily Mirror.

Your Secretary is in receipt of an excerpt from the publication "Facts About Sugar," containing a fine obituary of Russ Palmer and a full page portrait. Among other things, the obituary stated that in the periodical publishing field, Russ introduced original ideas and methods which brought him to an outstanding position, and influenced the whole course of industrial journalism in the direction of greater editorial strength and independence, and particularly toward higher standards of typographic and artistic excellence. To his immediate associates, Russ was a constant inspiration. His quick perception, broad knowledge and unerring instinct in dealing with business and editorial problems, and his generous appraisal of the efforts of others commanded the affectionate respect and the unswerving loyalty of the members of his organization.

A good letter from Stan Wells of Hartford, Connecticut, refers to a wonderful week-end he and Frances had at Wood- stock, Vermont, over Columbus Day, where he met Dick Remsen, Pike Childs and Guy Swenson. Then at the Yale game, he saw Hank Brooks, Lee White, Dick Remsen, Hug Lena and Tabe Taber. At a Fathers' Week-end at Choate School, he found Otto Bresky, who has two boys there, and of course Ray Tobey, who is doing a swell job in his branch of the sciences. At the World's Fair, he found Pat Lovell at work in the Infantile Paralysis exhibit. Stan's youngest, David, cleaned up the Chebeague Golf Club Championship this summer at the age of 15. He is at Choate, and looking forward to Dartmouth in two more years.
