1920

Memorial Fund Chairman, STANLEY J. NEWCOMER 438 East Elm Ave., Monroe, Mich.

Comments are to be short and snappy this month, if the secretarial typewriter can be persuaded to behave that way. It's the Alumni Fund that gets top billing, and again Class Agent Al, foremost of the Foleys, is to be complimented on his accomplishment. We don't do quite well enough, even under the scourge of his whip, but we darned well do a little better from one year to the next.

Second only to news of the Fund is our continued beating of the tom-tom for Thirtieth Reunion. This, gentlemen, is likewise a fine cause in its own right—an opportunity for keeping friendships going and for renewing almost forgotten ones, a time for happy talk and laughter. Remember the dates, June22, 25 and 24.

Those Twenties who Pow-Wowed in Detroit October 6, the night before the Michigan game, were in a reunion mood. StanNewcomer's name was on the program, because his presidency o£ the Toledo Alumni Association gave him ex-officio status on the Pow-Wow Committee. He could be pretty well proud of the '2O delegation in attendance: the Muir Linds, the Howard Kaichens, the Wes Carrs, the George Macombers (all the way from Boston); Charlie Crathern, who came with George and who was squiring the two Crathern sisters at the party; DickWatts, Ted Weis and Dick Pearson. Al Foley, unfailing Vermont humorist, shared the evening's oratorical honors with John Dickey. Among those who passed up the party, saving their energies for the game itself, were Fred Hamm, Nate Whiteside, Paul Giffin,George Vincent and Len Davis. There may have been others, well hidden among the 70,000.

News gleanings from Detroit: George Macomber's son Harvey is happily pursuing his undergraduate way at the University of Vermont Muir Lind achieved grandfatherhood a while back with the arrival of a daughter to the Charles E. Wilson Jrs., Mrs. Wilson being the former Peggy Jean Lind. Muir himself remains involved in "merchandise, chiefly comparisons" for the famous J. H. Hudson store there in Detroit; he is excited over the part Hudson is playing in the development of the first regional shopping centers in the Detroit environs George Vincent is at least tied for the grand- pappy lead, with a total of five dangling from the family tree Wes Carr, head of the receiving department in Mansfield, Ohio's big Westinghouse plant, has his Dartmouth graduate son working there at Westinghouse with him. A younger boy is at Ohio State and kid sister goes to high school.

Eric Stahl had a bead drawn on Ann Arbor and the tickets in his pocket; then had to make a last-minute change of plans, give the pasteboards away and stay home in Tulsa. Hike Newell caught a train in the right direction at the right time, but his errand was to help a top client (Nash-Kelvinator) usher in the duck hunting season across the Detroit River in Canada.

Here's the way Look Magazine broke a news item of top importance in mid-October. Referring to the part that Twenty's leadingindustrialist will play in President Truman's five-man "shadow cabinet," Look said:

"To keep the pipeline unclogged, the Department of Defense borrowed a recognized transportation genius from the U.S. Steel Corporation of Delaware. He is E. G. Plowman, a lifelong student of traffic by rail, water and air As chief of the Military Traffic Service of the Defense Department, Plowman has a big job. He's charged with 'efficient and economical traffic management for the movement within the continental United States of persons and things for all agencies and departments.' His orders will affect everything that moves in the nation."

A Boston Globe by-line, now appearing daily, is that of R. F. McParllin, who writes

"TV Diary," a blend of news, interesting writing and a certain amount of kidding. Mac is completely modest about it; thinks the column deserves to live or die, according to whether or not it meets with honest reader response. Nancy, second of the McPartlin daughters, has chosen Radcliffe as her college and has been admitted to the freshman class.

Ben Potter has a stake in television. His Rock Island Argus has been in the Potter family for 67 years. Eighteen years ago they acquired a radio station and in midsummer 1950 their television station went on the air. Around October 1 they were sharing in the first television network connections west of Chicago. Ben Jr., ready for college next fall, has been thinking of the mid-western universities, but his father hopes to expose him to Hanover Plain before the polls are closed.

Another good son of Twenty will leave Dartmouth in June, when Josiah Welch, tennis captain, is graduated. He is Dick Welch's second boy, following in the footsteps of Dick Jr., who finished up at Dartmouth in 1948, took his M.A. degree in 1949 from Harvard (where he is now in pursuit of a Ph.D.), got married between degrees and last summer fathered another welcome entry in the 1920 granddaughter sweepstakes. She is Catherine Helen Welch, first grandchild of our Dick, whose daughter Pauline is a sophomore at Middlebury.

A second grandchild is reported in the Roc Elliott family. This one is a girl, Laurie Gaines White, born last December. By now her dad will have reported back for duty as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Marines; and Laurie, her brother Jeffrey and her mother will have moved in temporarily with the "old folks" at that well-known spot, on top of an Arlington hill, 1 Windmill Lane. Write that address on an envelope, slip your class dues inside, and send them post haste to the veteran» treasurer, if you haven't done so already.

Bill Sinclair checks in from a new address, 35 Brookdale Gardens, Bloomfield, N. J. He writes:

"We finally decided again to combine city and country living, so we sold our house, moved into an apartment and bought a little shack on a frog pond (they call it a lake) up in Sussex County about 40 miles away. Both girls are married and I answer to the call of "Grampa Bill" to a four-year- old hellion of the male gender and a two-year-old mite of the gentler and more restful sex. Both are children of Barbara, my younger daughter, Mrs. Edward H. van Zylstra. Marie, Mrs. Otto Klima Jr., still pursues her quest for knowledge as a mechanical engineer in development work for General Electric. The husbands of both girls are G.E. engineers in Schenectady."

Ben Ayres, perennial public servant in Worcester, Mass., is chairman of the "Y" membership committee for this year's drive. .... Carroll Sxuezey is the author of "The Whole Town Helps on This Fashion Show," an article in the September issue of Stores. It tells the story of Swezey & Newins' very successful fashion show, which takes place annually in March The late Bill Fuguet was awarded, posthumously, the gold medal in the landscape class in the international color slide contest held this year for the first time in Turin, Italy.
