We are making a change in our Weekly luncheon place and day. Warmuth's Restaurant, 280 Devonshire Street, Boston, is the address and at 12:30 on Mondays. If you should not see any of the class ask for Walt Meader's table, for 1915 lunches there on Mondays also, and he will be better known than 1913 men for awhile. A table is always reserved on Mondays in his name. Notice that the day is Monday.

Albert J. Kilbourn has furnished the remaining details of last month's notice from Sioux City and California via Len Manley. Al's address is now Denmark, lowa. He was eleven years at Eagle Grove, lowa, but now he and Jessie have taken over the historic Congregational Church at Denmark, the first church of that denomination established west of the Mississippi (May 5, 1838) and they are very happy in their new work.

When Jack Nelson was in town last we checked on Vivian's younger sister, Pussy. "She is a freshman at Mt. Holyoke and she played on the Freshman Speedball Team last Fall and was chosen as a member of the All Holyoke Team. In case you don't know any more about speedball than I did, I might say that it is a combination of soccer and basketball and is a very fast game. She recently won the ping-pong championship of her dormitory and has started in to play some badminton. I guess that's about all the news, there is but there may possibly be some more some time before three years and a half are up. So you see, she's a chip off the old block with a vengeance."

Ken Baker is traveling for L. C. Chase and now in the south and headed for Florida—living the life of Riley, etc. Business is good and Ken is happy.

News was plentiful in Webster Groves, Missouri, recently. Len Martin, chairman of the Webster Scouts, was awarded the Silver Beaver at the annual dinner meeting of the St. Louis Council, Boy Scouts of America, for distinguished service to boy- hood in the St. Louis area. His work in the interests of units in Webster Groves is seen in the fact that Webster Groves has one of the highest percentages of scouts in the country. This figure is based on how many Scouts would be registered in Webster units if every boy 1 a years of age were enrolled. At one time, Webster troops were a council of their own and after being accepted into the St. Louis Council, immediately became the outstanding individual scouting community. During this time, Leonard Martin has been an outstanding adult leader and one of the bulwarks of scouting in Webster.

"Scouts, Cubs and Sea Scouts of Webster —and the entire Council for that matterextend their heartiest congratulations to Scouter Len Martin on his recognition for his unselfish and tireless efforts in their behalf."

Then Len and Thomas Wagner, a captain of the Webster Groves Fire Department, were severely burned about the head and face when they were struck by a falling ceiling in the home of Len's sister, Miss Frances Martin at 30 Joy Avenue, during the course of a fire which caused more than $15,000 damage to the house and contents. Len was treated at home for his burns and injuries.

Jack Macdonald, chief engineer of the Welsh Construction Cos., and Robert Moses, park commissioner of New York City and head of the Triborough Bridge Authority were given the Moles Award of Merit for outstanding achievement in the construction field at the annual business meeting of the organization in New York on Feb. 5.

This is the first of projected annual awards of the Moles, an organization of men engaged in tunnel, subway and heavy construction in New York Area.

Irving V. A. Huie, commissioner of Public Works of New York City, made the presentation to Mr. Moses, given in recognition of his work on recreation areas, parkways, bridges and highways. James Erwin, 1912, president judge of Hudson County, N. J., made the presentation to Macdonald who has been engaged on more than $200,000,000 worth of heavy construction work including Philadelphia and New York subways, New York City's water tunnel from Yonkers to Queens and Brooklyn, the Queens-Mid town vehicular tunnel and the Delaware Aqueduct. Macdonald was chief engineer for Patrick McGovern, Inc., prior to 1936.

This was gleaned from the EngineeringNews-Record, of February 6, 1941 and yet you may have already seen part of the announcement in the March issue of this MAGAZINE.

Harry Hillman announced that the Fraternity Relay would be held in March. This inter-fraternity relay race is a revival of that run back in our years. It will be run in four laps by four men on a board floor. To the winning fraternity each year will go the permanent trophy, the Paul Harmon Memorial Trophy, presented by alumni and friends of Paul Harmon. It will be remembered that Paul established the college mile record (which still stands) in our senior year by running it in 4. iß'4 at the IC4A outdoor meet....and speaking of Harry, we should report that Mrs. Hillman has been at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital. She fractured her right leg on a loose board of the rampway between the basketball floor and the indoor track surface Saturday night, February 22nd, on leaving the Dartmouth-Columbia game.

Gil Jordan has been progressing well after his serious operation at the N. E. Baptist Hospital in Brookline, Mass.

Sherm and Delia Ward are at The Desert Inn at Palm Springs, California. Sherm was hospitalized from just before Christmas until he went to Palm Springs the first of February to convalesce.

Carl Shumway has been called for duty at the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, N. J. No details yet. Frances and the children are to remain in Lynnfield, we hear.

Please look on Page 2 of your March, 1941 issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. You will find the Alumni Register, a convenient business and professional directory of

Dartmouth men. I urge that those of you with something to sell use this, for recently I have found two Dartmouth men in lines where I could use them. Help yourself and the MAGAZINE.

The Detroit, Michigan Free Press on February 3rd "congratulated" Ralph Badger, senior vice president of the Union Guardian Trust Cos., on his fifty-first birthday anniversary. He also is president of Investment Counsel, Inc. In these capacities he handles funds whose figures reach astronomical limits. "But Dr. Badger lives modestly at 610 Blaine with his wife Agnes and thirteen-year-old daughter Shirley. He is an aviation enthusiast with his own plane, a two-seater Aeronca, and a total of 481 hours in the air. And when not flying he keeps in trim by playing squash, at which he beats much younger men.

"Dr. Badger came to Detroit in 1929 as vice president of the Union Trust Cos. He had been investment counsel for a group of Eastern estates aggregating several millions of dollars. Before that he was professor of economics at Brown University. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and received the Ph.D. degree from Yale in 1921."
