1932

Carroll Boynton, ex-sleuth for the Navy, has gone into the private practice of law, with offices at 70 Pine St., N. Y. C., and home digs at Pottersville, N. J. Bill Davis is another commuter with a N. Y. job and a N. J. home: the latter is at 30 Oakview Ave., Maplewood, (you get a nice view of an oak, there), and the former is with a corporation that to a student of eighteenth-century English literature will have a familiar sound, Pope and Gray, Inc., 95 Morton St., New York 14. Morey Hubbard can be reached at 18 East 41st St., and Art Mayes at 76 William St., though Art is a Jerseyite, too, at 39 Glenwood Rd., Upper Montclair. A1 Rice is with Burns, Currie, Walker, and Rich at 40 Wall. Jim Moore is happily scraping the bottom of his sailboat in the hope of doing some smart maneuvers in L. I. Sound this summer.

The column is glad to record the partial recovery of Russ O'Brien who was the victim of a serious accident at his farm in Harlingen, N. J., when a piece of machinery on which he was at work in some manner crushed his right hand. Rushed to the Princeton Hospital, where it seemed for a time that the whole hand might be lost, Russ came through with the loss of two fingers, and when last seen was courageous and philosophical about the accident: he figures to become a southpaw, he says. He had aboard a card from Mark Richard, Lt. Comdr., attached to the headquarters in the Tokyo Bay area.

Sam Allen has announced his. candidacy for the Democratic nomination from the Fifth Congressional District in Massachusetts, and is preparing for the primaries June 18. This is for the information of those who missed the news last month or failed to catch it in John Clark's Newsletter. Latest report from U.N. Librarian A1 Gerould is that he now has 50 books instead of the previous 40. He is still hopeful of great accessions. Bob Hosmer, recently reported back in Syracuse, has rejoined his old insurance firm, Excelsior, and has been placed in charge of central and western New York as field supervisor. Onward and upward Major.

Jack Carnell's engagement to Miss Elizabeth Bennett Schaffer of New Haven, a Smith College graduate, was announced late in March Capt. Carnell had at that time recently been discharged from the Signal Corps. Before the war, Jack was in the employ of General Electric at Schenectady. The wedding date will probably be June. Sunny Sundown checks in from Apt. 102, 900 N.W. 13th, Oklahoma City 6, and Stu Thatford from 307 Ellis Bldg Phoenix, Ariz. Joe Carleton and family have moved to Longmeadow, Mass., onetime home of Johnny Appleseed. Jim Flint is a textile chemist with General Dyestuff Corp., and is getting set to make pants out of glass. Dr. Milt Lieberthal of the Army was recently promoted to major, and Bill Holm became a lieutenant. Tiny Giles lives in Littleton, N. H., but is thinking of moving to Enormousville' S. D., where he can get more elbow-room. (Just a crack, boys, Tiny is content with Littleton.) Ken Hill is with the New Hampshire Savings Bank, Concord. Dr. Bob Dickey is at 4225 Pine St., Philadelphia.

Visitors at Hanover Inn in February and March included Mr. and Mrs. Francis Foley of Rockland, Mass., Bob Wilkin of PhelpsDodge, N. Y. C., Ben Marshall from Winchester, Mass., Chuck Adkins from Colgate University's English Department, and George Bladworth of Suffield, Conn. John Fish in late March exchanged his gold Lt.'s bar for one of silver, and Don McPhail became a lieutenant commander in the Hon. Harry Truman's Navy. Hank Greenleaf is at the Lovell General Hospital, Fort Devens, Mass. Dave Castleman checked in with an April address: Box 163, Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii. I hope he escaped the tidal wave which smote those islands with several million tons of brine.

This winds up the reel, gentlemen, but get set for next month's thrilling installment which will include—whatever you send in in the meantime.

Secretary, 178 Prospect Ave., Princeton, N. J. Treasurer, Room 1801, 80 Maiden Lane New York 7, N. Y.
