Eastern Penna
FIRST WE HAD a tire situation—now comes gasoline; two excellent reasons why it has become increasingly difficult to call a meeting of a group that is scattered over an area covering a radius of 50 miles from Reading. The President and Secretary got their heads together and tentatively de- cided the best way to hold the dwindling organization together is to have separate small group meetings in the Allentown- Bethlehem area and in the Reading area.
In order to effectively start the new season, we believe there are no two other men who can do a better job in the Allen- town-Bethlehem area than Bob Simonds '25 and Andy Marshall '22. So, if any of you lads thereabouts get a call from either Bob or Andy, or both, concerning a meet- ing give them your fullest support. You won't regret it.
No doubt you winced slightly when you read the above reference to our gang as "dwindling." Our numbers have been cut sharply by the draft and by enlistments. The latest addition to the list of names previously noted in this column are Tom McGrath '3B, now an ensign in the Navy; Lloyd "Dude" Krum '3B, a naval aviation cadet located in North Carolina; and Jack Loose '33, lieutenant (jg) in the Navy. Johnny Mullen '3B has recently been moved to Alaska and promoted to second lieutenant.
On September Bth Milt Shultz '3O an- nounced to a waiting world the birth of a son, Barry Sherwood, tipping the scales at 71/2 pounds. In June the family had moved to a new house in Lincoln Park, Pa., to ac- commodate this addition.
We take this occasion to welcome to our midst, George W. Hoban 'l2, 530 9th Ave- nue, Bethlehem; Charles H. Goodnow '2O, 632 N. Arch Street, Allentown; James A. Noonan '33, 24 E. Mahanoy Avenue, Ma- hanoy City; Richard F. Fisher '4l, 407 Delaware Avenue, Bethlehem, Pa.
