COMING down to the wire on the home stretch your Committee reports plans are set for a gala family picnic 011 Saturday, June 7. A professional handler of clams and other viands will be on hand to assure the ballplayers and horseshoe pitchers sufficient sustenance to. revive them and the beer dispenser will be ready to quench their thirst. Dartmouth men, their families and friends from 16 to 60 (no cradle roll members) are raring to go and advance talks with our constituency indicates a mass turnout.

Should the weather man make unkind prophecies, we are fortunate in being able to postpone the pow-wow until the following Saturday, June 14. The decision must be made on Friday because of the food situation. To be sure, tune in Station WAAT, 970 on the dial, for their 7 p.m. or 10 p.m. newscasts on Friday, June 6. At the end of both programs, a definite announcement will be made indicating whether or not the picnic is to be on June 7. For those who are not radio minded, a call can be made to Mitchell 2-6400 and the WAAT telephone operator will hand out the dope.

Reservations are naturally a very important factor if you visualize the food problem. We expect practically a return mail reservation for every Indian and his squaw in this section as soon as the publicity goes into the mail.

This will be a sign-off tor a couple of months while the MAGAZINE takes a vacation. Your program for the year tells you of a golf party in the fall in the vicinity of Oct. i. It will probably occur before the October issue of the MAGAZINE reaches you so keep it in mind and watch for the publicity. The plan is for golf and dinner—if you can't make it for golf, join the gang for dinner.

Have a good summer and don't let the weeds and Jap beetles get you down—they'll still be here when we ain't.
