Attention Boston classmates! A pathetic letter has been received from McGregorHamilton, who was with us one year, then attended Harvard for another year before joining Iver Johnson Company in Boston, where he became a department manager. Because of ill health, he was forced to leave his work there in 1936, and now lives alone at No. 873 E. Second Street, South Boston 27, Massachusetts, and is in poor health. I am sure that if anyone had an opportunity to get in touch with him, it would be appreciated.
A welcome Hanover visitor, because of his long absence from the town, was Troy Parker, who spent several days here getting acquainted with the new college. Troy left feeling very enthusiastic over the progress that has been made since his undergraduate days. Troy's real business is oil burners, but he gets his fun out of running his guest ranch in Hill City, South Dakota. Troy says there isn't much business there at this time of year, however, so he and Mrs. Parker spend their winters in Chicago and on the west coast.

Bob Barstow flew from New York to Amsterdam on Washington's Birthday for an eight weeks' visit to various countries of Europe in connection with the relief and reconstruction program of the churches. Bob is Executive Associate of Church World Service, the common overseas agency of more than twenty Protestant denominations, which last year sent overseas in funds and relief goods fourteen and a half million dollars for the relief of human suffering and the restoration of church life and religious activities. The program covers 43 different countries of Europe and Asia. On his fourth trip in three years under these auspices, Bob will attend in Paris the conference of the World Council of Churches Refugee Commission, and in Geneva the third annual conference of Reconstruction Executives of all European countries. Then he will visit various relief projects in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Finland. He is expected back in this country about the middle of April.

Some of you may have received an invitation from Floyd Tindall to allow him to ship some oranges or grapefruit to you. Floyd writes:
"Am trying to forget about the practise of OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY and have turned my attention to ORANGES & GRAPEFRUIT. It isn't as simple as you may think, but it's much easier on the carcass. I represent my friend, R. Adm. E. L. Beck, USN (Ret) owner of PALM OAKS grove, near here, in the sale of Tree Ripened Citrus by mail order."
His address is 7127 Third Avenue, South, St. Petersburg, Florida.
The Slim Eatons have landed. As he says "They have gone to roost in an attractive home on the edge of the town of Staunton in the middle of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley." He and Sybil are pleased with the final outcome of their prospecting and write:
"Among other advantages, our new home is not too far from Dartmouth, and is only a few blocks from Route 11, which is the main north and south highway through the Valley. As you approach Staunton from the north, the road forks at the edge of town where there is an ESSO filling station and a good eating place known as the Triangle Restaurant. I will see that all personnel in that place are instructed to direct any of my classmates exactly how to reach my place.
Slim's address is P. O. Box 773, Staunton, Virginia.
