1916*

Alec Jardine reports that, to date, we have received 110 paid dues, which is 67% of the total received last year, and is still far from the goal we set of 80% of the total subscriptions. Don't delay send that check today!

On the evening of November 17 in the ballroom of the Hotel Statler in Boston, Ros Magill addressed a large audience of bankers, attorneys, accountants, and other experts at a dinner sponsored by the Boston Chapter of the American Society of Chartered Life Underwriters. The subject of this address was "The Present and Future of Federal Taxation"; both the press and other listeners bring out the fact that this presentation of timely facts was marked not only by the technical learning which one would expect from a trustee of the Mutual Life Insurance Company and a former under-secretary of the Treasury, but also by the wit and charm which we should all expect from Ros. The class of 1916 was represented at the meeting by Mr. Lincoln Filene, Park Hayden, Max Bernkopf, Ig Eigner, Alec Jardine, Bill Banton, Joe Carleton, and Frank Bobst. Among the points emphasized by Ros was this:

"For the protection of its own sources of revenue, particularly in time of war, the government must see to it that our economy is encouraged to expand rather than freeze up or shrink because of excessive tax rates. Income and excess-profits taxes have been pushed almost as far as they can be safely used. Some further increases may be possible, but additional tax-revenues should be obtained for the most part from other sources."

Letters from men of 1916 in service are frequent and add up to the conviction that 1916 still displays that enviable versatility which has always enabled it to do what was expected of it, as well as what was not. Praise the Lord 1916 can still fish, cut up bait, or swim ashore, as circumstances demand. All these letters would be quotable, but Jack English must speak for the lot of 'em this time: "I thought I was growing old, but I know I can take it now....taking on these youngsters right along in competition twelve hours a day....keeping up with all and outlasting most of them

.... we are learning a tough job and fast." Jack freely admits that he is cocky about this and who are we to blame him?

A recent visitor to Hanover was George Howell. Although the acting secretary was ill at the time and missed him, Dick Parkhurst was here and talked with him. It develops that George is a banker in Tampa, now actively interested in the very considerable shipbuilding industry which is developing so rapidly in that vicinity. George was attracted by the charm of the Hanover Inn and visited the old town with Mrs. Howell for a week. This practise is coming to commend itself more and more generally to the old boys of about our vintage.

Not so old either, for word has recently arrived that Mr. and Mrs. Ev Parker are to be congratulated upon the birth of a son, born in May and named Junior.

And yet getting on, perhaps, for more recent report has it that Frank Bobst is to be numbered among 1916's grandfathers inasmuch as his daughter, Mrs. Barbara Judge, gave birth to a son, named Frank, on November 3.
