Dick Henry had a nice letter from EarlDaum from Stockholm, Sweden, where he is with the Scandinavian Division of General Motors. He writes:
"We have been here a little over four months now, and while conditions are not as good as they were during my visit last year, nevertheless Sweden still is probably the best place in Europe to live these days, with the possible exception of Switzerland. There is rationing of some foodstuffs, particularly meat, butter and coffee, and we are not allowed to drive cars from Saturday evening to Monday morning. Electricity is rationed, too, and for a while apartment houses were prohibited from supplying hot water, but fortunately for us and probably those with whom we associate the hot water restrictions have been relaxed to a great extent. Business of course is terrible. Like most other countries Sweden is suffering from an insufficient supply of dollars to buy the things she wants, and therefore imports are drastically curtailed. The only selling I have to do these days is to sell the Government on the advisability of giving us a few of the limited supply of dollars available instead of dishing them out to the thousand and one other beggars. Complicated as it is, however, it is nevertheless most interesting, and both Helen and I like the country and the people very much."
Dick Henry, while attending a convention of accountants in Miami last fall, managed to wina golf tournament. It just goes to show thatour esteemed treasurer has not lost his knackof knocking the golf ball far and straight downthe middle of the fairway Fred Maguire,in sending us some information about his son,has written an interesting letter concerninghis new work in the Department of Journalismat Michigan State College, East Lansing. Hereis his letter:
"I came out here this fall to join the staff as assistant Professor of Journalism, and have been pretty busy ever since keeping a jump ahead of my classes. My wife and younger son Tom, 11, are with me, and we expect Bob home for Christmas vacation. This is a very pleasant life. "We have a fairly large staff here, all men who served long apprenticeships in the newspaper field, and who know their stuff. There is another Dartmouth alumnus on the staff as an assistant professor, Dick Spong '36. This term just ending has been very interesting for me, with my principal course, History and Ethics of Journalism. It afforded opportunity to examine the press as a force in the political, social and economic framework. We try here to avoid overstressing the technical aspects of the area, as you see. Though techniques are not neglected. Next term, for example, I will conduct a course in editorial writing, and another in feature writing."
Ted Lamb, the Toledo lawyer and newspa- per publisher, has written some articles in TheErie Dispatch under the title "Siles Doty, a pioneer gangster."
A recent newspaper item: "Mr. and Mrs. John L. Loeb of 730 Park Avenue and Purchase, N. Y., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Judith Helen, to Richard Norton Beaty, son of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Beaty of Rye, N. Y. The prospective bride studied at the Brearley School here, was graduated from the Madeira School in Greenway, Va., and is a junior at Vassar College. A descendant of Jacob Phillips, an American patriot during the Revolutionary War, she is a grandniece of Herbert H. Lehman, former Governor of New York, and a great-granddaughter of the late Adolph Lewisohn."
