Well, guys, cider is back on the stands, Bill Veeck's midget is safely back in the woodwork and we've got a fresh case of Halloween on our hands. Let's have a look around and see where the little goblins took our fence this time . .. bless the darlin' little spooks!
Several issues ago we threatened to perform a Duncan Hines on Gene Tamburi's Early American Inn, the Yankee Pedlar, on Route 5 in Holyoke, Mass. We dood it and it's all it's cracked up to be and then some.
... Gene and Kay started same as a side-line about four years ago and figured on serving maybe 50 people a day—the pace is now circa 1000 per diem and certainly no side-line. Completely colonial atmosphere prevails from the front door to the toothpicks. Needless to say, the Inn's 11 sleeping rooms are at a premium—so reserve ahead, but don't miss the victuals and the customary wait in line. . . . It's more pablum on the rug for Pic and Norb Hofman, the reason being Michael Norbert, a July 20 arrival and number two boy and youngster shez Hofman.... While on the subject of diminutive males, it's number three at Noroton Heights, Conn., for Nancy and George McCleary—yup, our old roommate up and sired a September 14 model which henceforth will answer all calls for "Junior."
The Peters Cartridge Division of Remington Arms Company announced the appointment recently of Bill Foster as manager of ammunition sales; by way of warm-up for the assignment Bill had been manager of skeet and trap promotion and special assistant to the director of sales. It's interesting to note that Bill's dad, the late W. H. Foster, originated the sport of skeet shooting.... Few who make the break from the land of Democrats ever return. Sam Morse is an exception, however, as he now forsakes the pleasantries of an address in Maine for a faculty spot at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. ... poet and author, Sam brings to the new post a background of teaching positions at Harvard, Colby, University of Maine and Eastern Kentucky State Teachers College.
A recent editorial in the Manchester (N. H.) Union Leader credits the Industrial Division of the State Planning and Development Commission with having spent 150,000 that produced .fa 0,000,000 in additional yearly payrolls and an average of a,OOO new jobs per year. To Jack Teuton, who heads the Division, goes major credit for the accomplishment. As near as we can dope out, Jack and a couple of good assistants round up out-ofstate industries, bring 'em to the Granite State and sell 'em 'till it sticks. Jack's Division has recently sponsored a bill, now passed by both houses of the Legislature, providing for the creation of a New Hampshire Development Corporation to be financed by private dough whose purpose is to aid the smaller communities in the state in providing the right facilities for new industry.
A Kraut on whom we can usually rely gives it to us straight that George Gordon is in Frankfort, Germany, doing interesting but hush-hush work for the Criminal Investigation Department; Frau Gordon and the youngsters are sitting it out at Woods Hole, Mass.. . . Hey, men, what's with this California atmosphere? Bud Wolfe, only recently a Connecticut Yankee, turns up in Los Angeles as Sales Manager of Plas-Tex Corporation; Dug Porter waves good-bye to the tall corn in Davenport, lowa, and shows up in Oakland; Dick Hefler owes Wolfe a fin from school, so leaves L. A. and skips to Glendale; Ad Page owes us a note and beats it out of Richmond to show up in Danville and JohnO'Hare changes addresses right in the middle of Palo Alto!!
Imagine getting 46 cents per thousand cubic feet for something you can't see. It's being done legally by none other than Washington barrister-on-loan, Dick O'Hare, major domo at the Springfield, Mass., headquarters of Northeastern Gas Transmission Company. That's right, the big red-head is in charge of bringing natural gas to New England via the one-pipe end of the four-pipe Tennessee Gas Transmission Company system up from the Gulf. Dick's office has bought the land and laid the pipe from the western border of Massachusetts to Boston and Concord, N. H. In fact, he's made arrangements for another line through Connecticut, in connection with which Dick reports a helping hand from JackKenny, leading Hartford lawyer representing interests in the Nutmeg State.
