1924
Frank Karslake is the Guest Editor of the column this month. He agreed to take this over some time ago and has just finished a very swell job of getting news on the Chicago delegation. And now just a word about Frank before he takes over. After his marriage in 1929 to Katherine King, he moved to Chicago and for a long while has been with the Forbes Lithograph Co. His family, consisting of three boys and two girls, live in Renilworth where Frank is interested in civic activities, especially in the Boy Scouts, as he has two boys of Scout age. The oldest boy, Don, is 15, 6' 1", 165 pounds, and is trying freshman football at New Trier. Bill, 13, centers for the Joseph Sears' Blues; Dick, 11, captains and halfbacks the Whites; John, 6, is now in first grade; and Katherine Ann, 2, is just beginning to learn what it's all about. The old man, Advancement Chairman for the Scouts, Kenilworth Club past president, Park Board member, tries to collect money on the local drives and bowls Tuesday nights (scratch). Frank has helped out on the Alumni Fund drive and has joined in class activities in Chicago. Many thanks to him for the swell job he did this month, and here's hoping he'll take over again sometime. The Notes from this point on are his.

It is up to Ed to figure out how to get salmon over Bonneville and such dams, what to do when you can't get them over Grand Coulee, Shasta, etc., figure out how many haddock you can remove from the sea and still leave enough to have baby haddock. Ed says this is a good trick when you never see them or count them. Also, that the fish aren't very happy when industrial wastes and sewage are dumped in on them and it ought to be stopped. By the way, Ed has gone far with his stamp collection, specializing principally in British American issues.
