The worthy publication from Hanover, The Bulletin—known to a host of Dartmouth secretaries as "The President's Office Weather Report"—recently reprinted a story from the New York Herald Tribune about formation of The Dartmouth Club of Tokio via Manila. This stirring event took place "somewhere in Australia" with '2l represented by Lt. Comdr. Pick Ankeny and Lt. Col. Batch Batchelder. . . . . Lt.

W Dr. Nelson Lee Smith has been appointed a member of the Federal Power Commission to fill the unexpired term of the late Clyde L. Seavey extending to June 23, 1945.

Is on the general counsel staff working on legal problems and finds it very engrossing Frank Livermore is on liaison work for the WPB Order Clearance Committee. This is the outfit which clears all limitation, materials, and what-have-you orders issued by the WPB.
Ralph Pendleton has blossomed forth as the champion wartime globetrotter of the class. The trips are in line of duty, of course, as Safety Director for the Grinnell Company. Here's a sample. In mid-October he hit Toronto and had a luncheon session with Jack Graydon. "He is still with Canadian Facts, Registered," says Ralph, "which seemed to be some sort of advisory brokerage agency not unlike our Babson's on a small scale. Jack appears to be hale, hearty, and happy with his wife and two adopted youngsters. He was having some problems induced by the fuel shortage augmented by the fact that they recently took over rather a pretentious domicile in the country." Nice sample, Ralph. Keep 'em coming With Maj. Bill Marcy and Dud Robinson in town to bolster the local contingent, '2l made a creditable showing at the Dartmouth Night dinner November 5 at Washington's Mayflower Hotel. The evendozen stalwarts: Howie Heath, Mac Johnson, Red Kerlin, Frank Livermore, Bill Marcy, Ray Murray, Henry Palmer, Dud Robinson, Art Ross, Nels Smith, Charley Stickney, John Sullivan.

Ned Price continues to feed this department a swell assortment of letters from classmates. Joe Dale, with W. T. Grant Cos., writes to Ned from 1810 Liberty St., Alton, 111., that he's been on that assignment for four years, with the 10 preceding years spent in the sunny southland. Joe reports visiting the nearby St. Louis Dartmouth Alumni Assn. but having no luck finding any of our clan there. John Woodhouse discloses to Ned the joys and tribulations of being a chemical researcher of note. John is being called upon to work a mere seven days a week, with a number of nights added for good measure. All this came about as follows: When duPont found it impossible to release John so that he might command Chemical Warfare research for the Army, he undertook to act as a chemical warfare advisor two days a week. To that was added the same type of work for WPB, and then, later, assistance to the QMC, after being asked to take charge of their research. Finally, he had to take charge of research for a duPont subsidiary. The letter from which the foregoing facts were gleaned is now several months old, and so we're hoping, John, that you've been able since to lighten your work-load a trifle.
George Harris writes that the breaks have been coming his way since associating himself in business with Bob Burroughs in Manchester. In comparison with his old job, George says "it's like pitching against Holy Cross instead of Wesleyan." Their specialty is representing the Compensation Research Bureau, pension and profit-sharing plans. "Our four children have made friends rapidly and so have we. Manchester is a friendly city and there is a good Dartmouth nucleus here. George 111 is on the Manchester football squad to watch and listen for a year or two while he grows up. He is 14 but matches me in height and reach. Hubey McDonough, the D football captain in 1918, is the coach. He is unquestionably the best in this part of the country on the testimony of the records as well as personal opinion." .... Ned Price is author of the report that Lee Bausher was in Chicago in mid-October "attending a meeting about parachutes, which he makes." .... Carl Hammond reveals from suburban Elmhurst that he's left commercial pursuits for a home-front job in a Chicago war plant drafting room. Previously for about nine years he'd been associated in the production of a syndicated newspaper strip called "Don Winslow of the Navy." .... Frank Lambert checks in with a new residence address in Buffalo, N. Y., 166 Beard Avenue. Is still Gen. Supt. of A. & P. at 519 Hamburg St. (How do you always manage to get an address, Frank, that ties in with your company's business?) .... Rex King now receives mail at 11 New England Ave., Summit, N. J., and Tommy Griffith says to look him up at 15 Glendon Road, Hohokus, also in New Jersey.
