1914*

Walter Daley called at our war effort cubicle recently and we had a fine chat. He is sales manager of the Canton Division of the New Haven Pulp and Board Co. and busy of course with war production. His son, a junior at Holy Cross, is training for his pilot's license with the C.A.A. and has already begun his solo work. Speaking of Walt, we always remember his philosophy against eight o'clock classes. First he could meet all the boys as he trod Commons ward against the chapel traffic. Then the leisurely perusal of The Dartmouth, a quick cornbread and coffee, a smoke and contemplation of perhaps Dr. Bowler's yesterday's notes on peristalsis which usually resulted in an easy passing mark for the dayand then it was nine o'clock and a proper time to go to classes. Oh for those good old days, eh, Walt?!

Horace Borden's son has likewise passed his preliminaries for service as a flying cadet. He is home from Georgia Tech where he has been a student and is awaiting call to active service.

If you want to see some smart stationery, write John Hazen a letter to the Hazen Paper Cos., Holyoke, Mass. John will reply in a smooth way—which is a bad pun but the idea is not—it is smart commercial paper, John, and we have looked at quite a lot in our time.

The Secretary has just received word from Lester Little's mother, Mrs. John W. Little of Pawtucket, R. 1., to the effect that Lester is a prisoner of the Japs in Canton, China. A cable was just received from Chungking through efforts of the State Department and the Rhode Island Senators as follows: "Have information that Lester Little had adequate funds for present. He is apparently well, he is allowed a reasonable amount of freedom and is interned in our house in Canton."

Mrs. Little adds that the State Department is being urged to place the few remaining Custom's Americans on the same plan for exchange of prisoners as those of the consular and diplomatic services. The exchange, if it goes through, will take place in (censored) at a date not yet determined.

This news although not too good is still reassuring and certainly we all join the Little family and of course Lester in hoping for his safe return soon.

Together with the Ernest Kimballs we attended the wedding on the evening of March 24, of Priscilla, daughter of the Everett Barnards to Mr. Paul Richard Keller Jr., of West Roxbury, Mass., at the Congregational Church in West Medford.

Goodness gracious what did we do with that clipping from the society section of the Boston Herald? We have carried it for a month, now it is mislaid and the whole production of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is held up. Where did we put it? Sorry no can find. Well anyway it concerned the engagement of the daughter of Frank and Kay Sullivan to a flying cadet stationed somewhere in the deep South. Sorry, Kiki, that we cannot record his name herewith but we can be sure that all your father's classmates wish for you and all the other pilots' sweethearts the best of all this world's good things and for him—happy landings and a safe return.
