Well, fellows, we've got a new boss on the paper now, and you know how it always is, the reporters are thinking this and that, if they think at all, and wondering whether their jobs will last much longer; special editors and writeup men racking their brains to get a headline on the cover, and the subscribers wondering whether the good old Dartmouth flavor will be diluted to an insidious New Deal opiate designed to promote Streamlined A. B. Courses of two or three years of reading exercises.

All the answers are to be found on each of the eighty pages of the October number. It is still "Published for the Alumni of Dartmouth College." In our opinion Charlie Widmayer boosted the value of his first number from thirty-five cents to at least a dollar by a simple addition to the MAGAZINE, overlooked by the former editor for thirteen years— reference is made to the excellent speaking likeness of Sid Hayward on page 8. Editor Widmayer here referred to the various awards accruing to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE under Sid's guidance and doubtless these are the factors that assess the value of his Editorship to the Alumni and the College. Somehow, in our opinion, that doesn't give the complete picture. It hasn't been just a job of collecting and publishing items of interest to the Dartmouth family artistically, but rather a solicitous, faithful and successful campaign to enlist and coordinate all the positive factors for building a stronger Alumni body through our Alumni publication.

The great award to Sid's MAGAZINE comes in the proven fact that 88 per cent of our Dartmouth Alumni were thinking alike in the recent Alumni Fund Campaign.

From Portland Press Herald: "HUNTING GARB REPLACES ROBE. Docket cleared, Justice seeks Partridge. Machias, Me., Oct. 13. The harsh routine of court transactions was pushed into an unglamorous background here today by Justice Arthur E. Sewall, who after adjourning the session of the Superior Court yielded to the lure of the fields, and October sunshine to bag a few partridges on Marshfield Ridge.

"Throughout the morning he had listened to the evidence on uncontested divorce cases in chambers, while outside the sun magnified the autumn coloring of the leaves of the big elms and maples around the court house, stirred gently by a balmy breeze. Sport beckoned.

"The day's docket cleared, the Justice, an enthusiastic sportsman, donned hunting boots and duds and under the direction of J. Lawrence Mailer, deputy sheriff, went on a cruise of the woodland at Marshfield. Mailer put his Springer pup into the woods along the ridge clearing to good effect.

" 'This is one of the best counties in the State for game,' Sewall enthusiastically declared after his trip."

Note: Whether the Justice hunts partridge orclassmates, it's always with a sheriff.
