A most welcome letter from Ike Maynard of 55 Canfield Avenue West, Detroit, Michigan, reports that Detroit is undergoing stresses and strains in converting automobile factories to war production, but that order is slowly developing and that when conversion is completed Detroit and its environs will be one of the busiest war production centers in the country.
Jim Mulally, General Attorney of the Great Northern Railroad at St. Paul, sends the information that he has a second grandson, Jeffrey Charles Lilien, born in December. Jim's second-oldest son, a lieutenant in the Infantry Reserve, entered active service on February 10. He is now in California. Before leaving St. Paul he was admitted to the practice of law in the courts of Minnesota. Jim's youngest son, Judd, whom the '05 men in attendance last fall at the Boston class dinner before the Harvard game had the pleasure of meeting, passed all his examinations at Dartmouth for his degree and was inducted into the service on March 12. The oldest son, Charles, expects to enter service soon. When he joins the military forces, only Joan, who is a senior in high school, will be left at home with Jim. We congratulate you, Jim, on this fine record of giving three sons for the armed services. Heredity and a good home environment have a potent influence. Is there any other '05 man who can equal this record?
