1887

Mrs. Dula W. Blakey has notified the secretary of the birth of John Mawson Blakey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Blakey at Queens Village, N. Y., Dec. 16, 1942. "How pleased," she writes, " 'Jim' would be to have a grandson named for him."

Our D. Waldo White has made an impression on the citizenry of St. Petersburg, Fla., this winter. He delivered an oration on Lincoln's birthday. As reported in one of the city papers, referring to the "Gettysburg Address," Waldo very appropriately declared the speech, "the greatest and shortest ever written, which has made Americans love America more and all that America stands for."

Winnifred Smith Ross, our greatest living poet, writes the sad news of a painful fall on the ice. "I picked up various parts of me strewn over the street," he writes, "and used considerable glue sticking together bones, liver, muscles, etc. Still used up but hope cost of glue is main loss." He has a son in the United States Navy.

We have a snapshot of "Jigger" Merrill, wearing a sweater with a big "D." We hear that his son is now colonel in the armed forces. Hadlock's two sons are captains and Dr. Brackett's eldest son, Frederick, is a major. Corwin's son, Orland H., and his wife, Margaret, are missionaries to "The Unevangelized Indians of Colombia, South America."
