"T. D." Jewett has just been elected to the School Board of Laconia, N. H., for a term of six years. Stephen S. (1940), who had time to finish Tuck School before Pearl Harbor, is now an ensign in the Navy—a fighter pilot—and now on a carrier in the Pacific.

General Willson is chairman of the Rutland County branch of the Vermont Blood Plasma Bank Les Ashton says he is still hoping to become a real pediatrician before the grave overtakes him. We'd say he was all ready to be overtaken, at that rate.

William H. "Bill" Mason, as a packer rounding out 30 years, has his headaches now with restrictions and rationings.

Dr. Ray M. Schulte wrote a letter on March 13. He reads "the MAGAZINE from cover to cover each issue and really enjoy imagining myself back in the East where Dartmouth contacts are possible. Our small group here in Spokane rarely gets together as no two of us were in school at the same time Son John is still in Hill Military Academy but also in civil air patrol reserve until June and then in active service. Daughter Bett is in the WAVES at Hunter College, New York City. Wife Marion in charge of the C.A.P. office here where they handle all flights west of the Mississippi. 'Old Dutch' is a C.P.O. in the Coast Guard Reserve doing patrol work near the Farragut Naval Training Base. I also am examining draftees for the local board. We do get together for an occasional dinner."

Bob Barstow, president of Hartford Seminary Foundation, Hartford, Conn., was one of the speakers at the Syracuse Civic Lenten Services on March 17. He insisted that friendship—deep, sincere, mutual and honorable—must be the basis of any enduring social adjustment or international agreement.

Ray Maloney has had to give up his frequent trips from Claremont to Hanover to save rubber, you know, although the rubber on his car is good for six years of careful conservative driving. Now we can get tires in the East, so the gas is down.

Albert Kinoy for the past three years has headed up the Public Schools Athletic League in New York City, and some of the boys have eventually gone to Hanover when "it is always a joy to see them plugging away for the big D."

Morris Cone at Hartford, Vt., is making military cloth for Russia and for some domestic civilian use. As chairman of the local Salvage Committee he got a splendid response from his fellow townspeople and had a grand time doing it.

Don King is pushing hard for modern languages at St. Paul's School in Concord, N. H....Sid Akerstrom is planning a Victory garden on the outskirts of Littleton, N. H., and has an order in for a pig and expects a few chicks.

Rollo Hutchinson, at Parris Island, has under his command 25 M.D.'s., 80 Dentists and 200 hospital corpsmen for examining 8000 Marines a month. Crawford H. Baker is trying to keep up the civilian sales volume of Bauer and Black which is some job with manufacture of surgical dressings now.

Stephen K. "Gus" Perry is at the U. S. Employment Service at Springfield, Vt., while son Charles is at Sluntgart, Ark., a PFC teaching in the Army school, and Nathaniel is in the Sheet Metal School at Chanute Field, Ill.

Ted Haskell this next September rounds out 30 years of service with the American Thread Cos. His twin daughters were both married last summer and both sons-in-law are in the Navy. T. H. Jr. graduated in December in the class of 1943 and is now a junior chemist with Winthrop Chemical Co.

Leeds Gulick reports that Camp prospects for next summer seem to be good. He enjoys the East again and his work with Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery, auditors.

From Wheeling, W. Va., we hear that Judge Hugus has just finished a session of the Legislature as a member of the Lower House. They reduced taxes considerably and overrode 6 vetoes of the Governor. With the 30th Reunion postponed, we are to be cheated out of Judge's special at the usual Alumni Luncheon at Commencement time.

"Husky" Wilbur and Edmund Freeman represented the class at the Washington, D. C., dinner. "Hoppy was in very fine form. His message this year, to my way of thinking, is pretty well to the top of his speeches," writes "Buck."

Jack Macdonald has just completed his big construction job at the Brooklyn Navy Yard as vice president of Walsh Construction Cos., and is now managing a new job in Rhode Island, putting the construction back where it should be for results.

Carl Shumway was made assistant commander of the Northern Air Patrol, Boston, last September. The patrol has charge of the operations of all the Naval H.T.A. and L.T.A. squadrons from Nova Scotia to Buzzards Bay.

MAJOR GEORGE A. MULCAHY '13 USAAF officer stationed in Denver.
