1933*

That old Brasenose toff, J. K. Smart, was in town the other day and no one could have been more amazed than this correspondent to find that the former Redding Ridge pedagogue was of the U. S. armed forces. Carried away by the WhiteCliffs of Dover, he tore himself away from his cozy niche in Western Connecticut and volunteered for service. He is now at Camp (pardon us—it should be 'Fort' now) Devens where he has been engaged for the past six weeks in romanticizing the occupation of cleaning latrines. He claims that it's fine. After a few unnecessary beers, and a roast beef sandwich, he chugged away southward, his overseas cap slightly askew.

Kimball Flaccus is the author of "Poet of the Spirit Triumphant," an article in the Fall issue of Voices, and a poem "Spare of Speech" in the July 26 Saturday Evening Post. He was a Fellow in Residence at the MacDowell Colony at Peterboro, New Hampshire last summer, working on his first novel.

THIS HAPPENED TO AL

Al Strock (D.M.D.) writes: "To avoid a repetition of your words 'whatever happened to Al Strock,' I am sending you the something to keep you informed."

The "something" is an article from the Knickerbocker Herald (Albany, N. Y.) describing how the former Martell Club chefde cuisine wowed them at the annual ticomium refresher course at the Ten Eyck Hotel. He told them how he has used the metal in patching up broken jaws and partially destroyed jawbones. Next to the article is a picture of the Doctor, jazz-bow and all, talking very intently to a man whose jawbone appears to be beyond reproach.

Al included two other clippings with his note. One, from the Boston Globe contained a picture of Mr. and Mrs. J. F.Donovan taken shortly after their wedding. Both are wearing angelic smiles. The groom had a very modish Ascot tie under his. The other concerned the meeting in Washington of the Shoe Manufacturing and Allied Industries Committee in Washington to set a minimum wage for themselves. A prominent speaker was Maxwell Field, secretary of the New England Shoe and Leather Association who urged that shoe manufacturers be granted an exemption from the wage order because of stiff competition in the labor market from defense industries.

The indefatigable Mackey writes this: "I received a letter from Norm Crabtree's father recently to inform me that Norm is now flying with the R.A.F. He is stationed in London.

"I saw Bus Snow and his bride last night. They are both well and happy. Incidentally, Bus has had a serious illnessruptured appendix—and for a few days was awaiting Gabriel's call on the trumpet. The Snows were on their way to Hanover for a 2 week vacation."

"I had lunch with B. Naramore recently and enjoyed the hour I was with him. He is located here in the City now."

THE OLD ONE-TWO

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Schmitt of Rumson, N. J. have announced the engagement of their daughter, Edna, to Mr. Alston Beekman Jr. The groom-to-be is connected with his father's law firm in Red Bank. He is a director of the New Jersey Taxpayer's Association and president of the Monmouth County Federation of Taxpayer's Associations.

Announcement has been made of the coming wedding of William Henry Gibbons and Anne Lewis, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Jenks Lewis of Dallas, Texas, in the Church of the Incarnation in that City on October 4th.

There has been forwarded to us a long clipping from the Brooklyn Eagle topped by a picture of Morrell Goldberg. The artide tells of his appointment as Superintendent of the Jewish Sanitarium and Hospital for Chronic Diseases in the whacky boro'. After graduation, he studied hospital administration and clinical management at Columbia.

For the second consecutive year, CharlesR. Jones Jr., a special agent in the metropolitan department of the Indemnity Insurance Company of North America, has won nation-wide top honors in the Insurance Institute of America's Annual Casualty 111 examination, in competition with agents, brokers and company representatives from virtually all parts of the country. Mr. Jones came through with an average of 98 this year. He won the same award last year with a 99. The award will be presented to him for the second time at the annual banquet of the institute in the Fall.
