1913*

Dave Logan's son, James Milon, is a freshman at Norwich University where he will have his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Reserve Corps when he graduates. He is getting a fine training and enjoys every bit of the school work.

Lena Fairbanks has recovered from scarlet fever and Clayt opines: "Say, did I have dish pan hands, girls!"

We would like to quote from a letter from Dave Morey to Arthur Sampson in the Boston Herald:

Wrote Dave, in part: "I am organizing some courses here that should be interesting for boys who will eventually be called upon to serve in the armed forces of our country. Since there will be an increasing demand for air pilots, I plan to give a course in code reception and an aviation ground course covering navigation, meteorology and air traffic regulations as required in government approved flying schools. _

"Mrs. Morey, as you know, has a private pilot's license and when she was training for it I took much of the ground school work. Both courses have won the approval of several high-ranking officers in the service.

"I feel that these courses, which will be added to our regular program, will not only alleviate in a measure the impatience of boys too young to serve, but will shorten the time they will have to spend learning such fundamentals later on.

"We are preparing and installing our equipment and in September will be ready to go ahead on this program. To tie in with this, we are going to expand our physical education program and continue our current schedules of athletic contests with other schools. In the fall each boy is to be given a rigid physical examination and, depending on his particular needs, placed under an intensive corrective exercise program and given a thorough instruction in body mechanics. In addition, each boy will receive instruction in first aid."

Dave is teaching at Wilbraham Academy. A long letter was received from Squire Wilson from Los Angeles, written shortly after December 7th, telling how he has been through the blackouts and alerts. He is with the Sylmar Packing Corporation at 621 South Hope Street packing ripe olives in cans and glass jars. They also have pitted olives, ripe green olives and chopped olives. (You'll find them as Sylmar, "Sunripe" and Palm Canyon brands.) He says if "you want to try a real good olive, get a can of ripe green if you can find them."

Dr. George B. Watts has had his book "The Waldenses in the New World" published by the Duke University Press, Durham, N. C—309 pages, illustrated. Appendix containing 25 pages of lists of Waldensians in America $3.50. In a little pocket of the Cottian Alps on the boundary between France and Italy there is a land of the Waldenses, a territory of about 300 square miles in which live 22,000 Protestants. In Burke County in the North Carolina foothills of the Blue Ridge there is a little community called Valdese and the people there are Waldensians, as they are known in this country. "They, or their fathers and grandfathers, came from that tiny settlement in the Cottian Alps and their coming has made a great story."

George is professor of French at Davidson College at Davidson, N. C. and he and a well-known insurance executive in Davidson, have just been named chief air raid wardens for Mecklenburg County. These two posts are the key positions in the civilian defense organization of the county.

Gren Kimball's son Robert will enter Dartmouth from Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N. H. this year and although he has been there only one year he has made a place for himself and captured unusual honors. He was quarterback and captain of the J. V. team, being too light for the varsity, and a member of the hockey team. He is sports editor of the school paper and treasurer of the senior class.

Catterall, Ashton, Meleny, Wells, Tower, Dessau, Macdonald, Remsen and Dent were at the New York Alumni dinner—Bill Dent is referee, Department of Labor of New York State with office at 342 Madison Avenue. He reports a grandson, Philip Lane, two years old. His own son, Bill Jr., is an honor student at East High School, Columbus, Ohio. His daughter has made "A" in every course of her freshman pre-med year at Ohio State University. Collin Wells is accomplishing much with the China Relief organization.

Stub Stoughton's son, Howard Jr., has his commission as Ensign and is now at the U. S. Naval Academy Post Graduate School for a twenty-two-weeks course in the communications school.

Sid and Lillian Akerstrom have been in Washington since Christmas for their annual visit to Lillian's parents. They return to Littleton on March 15th. Sid's description of war-time Washington does not make a pretty picture.

Admiral William Leahy was ordered to leave Vichy, France in February to give President Roosevelt a complete picture of the French set-up and to report on his long efforts to tip the scale in favor of noncollaboration. In order to allow him to leave his post without giving the impressions that his departure signified a break, the State Department sent a special Counselor of Embassy who would be able to carry on during his absence.

Pinckney S. (Kippy) Tuck, American Counselor of Embassy at Buenos Aires, was selected because he speaks Parisian French and has a host of friends among the Vichy officials. Kippy was eminently quali- fied to continue the accent on imponderables in American-French diplomatic relations.

However, the orders to leave were rescinded.

Steve Jewett joined the Naval Aviation Force after his mid-year exams at Harvard Law School in February and is stationed at Quonset Point, R. I. Thus "T. D." expects that it will be a long time before he hangs out his shingle with the old man.

Chip Semes has been commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel in that branch of the Armored Force which is a direct descendant of his old tank outfit in France. He is also serving under his former commanding officer and Harry Jr., resigned from the Class of '43 at Dartmouth at Christmastime to enlist in the same organization. They hope eventually to have combat duty together.

Henry Merrill, as president of the Boston Real Estate Exchange, was toastmaster at its annual dinner in the Hotel Statler on March 4th, with 700 members and guests in attendance.
