Fred W. Baker of Lancaster, N. H., writes of the quiet and peace of the North Country where gasoline, rubber, and even water have been definitely restricted. The water lack is proving a menace, for not only are forest fires starting but to Fred's dismay the golf course is all burned up. "Life has its complexities even in northern New Hampshire."

Lieut. H. L. Kelley Jr., U.S.N., son of Capt. H. L. Kelley, M.C. U.S.N., lately stationed at a flying field in Texas where he has been practising dive bombing, was pictured by the Boston Herald last month as a carver of wooden images, animals,' super planes and the like between flights, thereby steadying his nerves. This trend in ability is an inheritance from his father who spends many of his evenings in the basement of his home with wood-working tools. Lieut. Kelley won his wings at Pensacola, Fla., in 1937.

Harold Hess is now in his yearly effort to collect the class subscriptions to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Let's make it easy for him by sending a check at once if it has not already been done.

During the summer Mrs. Densmore Howland of Des Moines, lowa, made her first return to New England since the death of Dennie and while visiting Mrs. Hamlin Bennett of Swampscott came over to thank the class through me for the Christmas card shower which so many of you fellows made Dennie after his severe illness. Mrs. Howland will continue to live in Des Moines where her son, W. D. Howland '27, is located.

Through the many years Morton French has successfully ground out his campaigns for the class participation in the Alumni Fund and this year has been no exception. We of the class appreciate the tireless effort which such work demands and humbly express our thanks whether we have been able to contribute much or little or none at all.
