1922
About a year ago this column carried news of Wilbur and Gladys Bunnell, who as you recall were interned at Santo Tomas and Los Banos in the Philippines. Holly Riddle of Goodyear Rubber has passed on word of the arrival of two postcards from Bunny dated May and June 1944. Apparently the B's are well and O.K. Let us all hope that the liberation of Manila has found Bunny and Gladys in good health.
Bill Shirley of Pratt Institute (Brooklyn), sends along a good letter with news of Lt. Godfrey Canty, via Gladys. He's now back in the U.S.A. and presently is stationed at the Naval Ordnance Plant, Camden, Ark.
Ernie Spaulding is chief of the Division of Research and Publication in the Office of Public Affairs of our State Department.
W. Carl Davis is now residing in Evanston, 111., 738 Judson Aye. He's back with his old outfit Russell W. Allen Cos., of New York, affiliated with the Grey Advertising Agency. Carl inquires, "Are there any Twoters in Evanston?" Ted Davidson, get going, please!

In mid January your correspondent had dinner one evening with Bill Morrell and Charlie Earle at the Dartmouth Club.
The Saturday Review of Literature ran on January 13 an issue called "The Ohio ValleyA Cultural Inventory," and among the contributors was Bob Almy. His essay was called "Sherwood Anderson—the Non-Conforming Rediscoverer." The description of the retired clarinetist given in the Review runs as follows:
Robert F. AI my, after schooling in Dartmouth and Harvard, has taught English in midwestern universities. He is now a member of the Department of English of Miami University, at Oxford, Ohio, where he has established a pioneer course in "Regionalism in Contemporary American Literature." He does not regard regionalism as a literary end, but rather as a useful method of relating literature to the varied terms of American life.
Ralph (Mike) Adams is back in government service. His connection is with the RFC, 10 Post Office Square, Boston. Bullen, Cohn, Bates and the rest of youse Bostonians, Mike's experiences in equatorial climes should be well worth a talk at your next Twoter gathering!
Ray Wason has returned to the East after quite a long sojourn on the West Coast. He is in the real estate business in New Haven, Conn. We hope to have further dope in a forthcoming issue.
As a matter of fact the high spot of the composition of these notes was the broadcast that our troops have entered Manila and have carefully taken under their wing the Santo Tomas concentration camp. Let's hope the Bunnells and thousands of other American citizens are safe!
George McCarthy is with the Lewis Engineering Cos., Naugatuck, Conn. Morrissey is the authority for word of Mac's two fine youngsters, one a boy, eleven, and a girl, ten. Also from the Naugatuck Valley is the news that Bill Neary is in the lumber business. How about a letter from you both?
Len's own kids are doing O.K. Len Jr. was shipped from Hanover to the University of Rochester, where he was assigned as engineering student in V-12S, and played left end on the team last fall. Johnny, Newton H. S. (Mass.), won his track letter last fall. Charlie, age ten, regards school as unnecessary and a waste of time.
Louis Thomas of RCA-Victor has transferred from engineering to advertising.
Chester Clifford of Craft Printing Cos., Chicago, has moved to 626 Keystone Ave., River Forest, Ill., after sixteen years in Oak Park. He claims his fame rests on the fact that he's the husband of the B-class golf champ of Riverside Golf Club. Mr. C. my files are woefully incomplete on your family details. Why wait till I come to Chicago to give me the dope?
From Salt Lake City, where he worked for Remington Arms, Everett Richardson has moved to Oak Ridge, Tenn., and tied up with Tennessee Eastman Corp. His home is 104 W. Price Lane. E. G. Jr. is a Marine Corps Sergeant, and thirteen-year old Briggs is going to Oak Ridge schools.
Here we are at the end of our column limits. More dope next month see you then.
Secretary, 1837 Arlington St., Bethlehem, Pa. Treasurer, 143 East Ave., Norwalk, Conn.
A Message from Treasurer Malmquist: In these days when so many demands are made on our pocketbooks it is hard to respond to all of them. However, there is probably no $4.00 investment that will pay the dividends which we get out of our 1922 dues. If you haven't sent yours in, please do it now. Thanks.
