Halsey Loder, in spite of the tremendous demands of his profession, still finds time to write book reviews for the press. The latest to come to my attention is a review of Col. P. M. Asburn's The Ranks of Death, which is a scholarly portrayal of the part played by the white man's diseases such as smallpox, typhus, and typhoid in the conquest of the New World. The author raises this thought-provoking question—"ln the coming centuries is it machinery and science or immunity to disease that will most influence racial dominance?" Halsey recommends this book not only for the student and scholar, but also for the general reader.

As this is written, Chet Moore is on his way to St. Petersburg, Florida, where he will spend the winter. He is planning to visit '05 men on the way and to look up Dartmouth men in Florida.

"Jake" has been connected with the Bonded Storage Warehouse Security Corporation, and the Standard Finance Company, Inc., as manager and treasurer. Chester also visited the Bob Falconers at Lake George this summer.

A good letter from Walt Rogers brings his history up to date. He is enjoying excellent health and still going strong as the Detroit Representative of the Joseph Goder Incinerator Co. Walt's oldest daughter, Mary, is married to an attorney and lives in Lansing, Mich. Mary's little daughter, Charlotte Ellen Olds, is Walt's one and only grandchild. His oldest son, John, served four years in the Coast Guard during the War and is now in charge of a Radar unit on Cape Cod. His second son, William, is a G. I. student at Michigan State University. During the War, William was in the Air Corps in Africa, Italy, France and Austria. Walt's youngest son, Walter, has just completed the pre-law course at Hillsdale College, and is now in law school. His younger daughter, Charlotte, is at home and is a "very efficient secretary" in a law office. Walt's chief hobby is the same as it has always been, trout fishing. He ties most of his own flies and does a lot of fishing on the Big Manistee River near Grayling, Michigan, where he has had a cottage and some acreage for a good many years. Walt and Ike Maynard meet at rare intervals. Get together boys.
