Recently you had notice of Chub Pease's new address as c/o U.5.8.R., Boise, Idaho. Here is the explanation. With the practical completion of the construction of the Shasta Dam and its assuming an operating status, Chub was transferred to Boise, Idaho, to the Regional Office of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. He says the housing situation is bad, so he had to buy a house. Sincity is adjacent to a large B-17 training field, it is full of fliers and ground personnel. Chub's son, Warren, who was originally a coast artilleryman, then attached to the Infantry at a camp in Texas, has now been transferred to Fort Benning, Ga., for further training.

The report on the Ken Clark family is that Marshall is enjoying his submarine duty and recently reported to the family his state of good health while his ship was up for a few days for fresh air. Ken Jr. is one of the latest entrants in the Naval Reserve. Daughter Peg has settled down in Washington as secretary of the Washington Junior League.

Fred Eaton was seen for a moment on a flying trip to Washington—just long enough for it to be learned that he had recently been visiting his youngest boy at Carlsbad, N. M., where he is in training as a bombardier. John, who is a fighter pilot, has recovered from an accident following his bailing out of his plane at a height of only 500 feet, and has just returned to duty. He is located at Santa Rosa, Calif. Lt. Col.. Fred Jr. still continues as operations officer in charge of all flying fortresses of the Wing of an Air Force in Italy.

The Washington papers gave prominent notice as follows: "Peary's Daughter To Address Polar Society Tonight," the event being the 36th anniversary of Admiral Peary's discovery of the North Pole, noting "The explorer's daughter, Mrs. Edward Stafford, will speak at the meeting in the Willard Hotel. Mrs. Stafford is the former Ahnighito Peary, 'the snowbaby,' born in the Polar regions and given her descriptive name by the Eskimos because her skin was so white."

The Dartmouth Club of New York in announcing that the club bridge team won top honors in the intercollegiate bridge league stated that two important members of the teams were Harold Halstead and Mac Rollins.

Two outstanding former clergymen who do honor to the class of 1911 continue to make the headlines. Dr. Farrell, director of the world-famous Perkins Institution for the Blind in Watertown, has offered the services of the institution to nine-year-old Jimmy Osborne, an English blind boy who won the hearts of American airmen, who are giving him a free trip to the United States for a musical education. Gabe reports, according to the paper, "We can take him through grammar and high school and then send him to the New England Conservatory of Music or some other place." The story of the blind boy-pianist came to light through Capt. John O'Connell of Holyoke, special service officer at the base, who revealed how the youngster could play everything from Bach to boogie-woogie, although he never took a lesson. Officers stationed at the base have raised $3200 to send Jimmy to America.

Dr. Barstow is settled in his new home on Old North Stamford Road, Stamford, Conn., and is operating as director of the World Council Service Commission. In this position he is making many addresses and recently was a Lenten speaker at the First Church in Springfield, Mass., where he spoke on "Rainbow over Europe."

The following V-mail letter just came in from Col. Patterson:

Please note change of address. After being the AG of V Corps from 11 April '43 in the UK, Normandy, Northern France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany areas, I was stepped up to being the AG of this Army. The morning radio news continues very good. In a few days I will have been overseas two years, which is a long time.- We must make sure this time that we won't have to repeat it a third time. Regards to all. Pat.
