During the dull midwinter period Tom Streeter was hospitalized for an operation from which he has made a very nice recovery, returning home after two weeks and two days in the hospital. He has been less active than usual since returning home with a resulting daily improvement in strength. Congratulations, Tom, for your quick return to good health. Tom was pleased with the response from the Class to his tax notice of February 1. Forty-seven men have sent subscriptions, many of which were accompanied by good letters. Tom will enjoy more cheerful news of this kind, from those who have yet to send their annual subscriptions to him at Morris town, N. J.

Sid and Louise Rollins spent a few weeks at Williamsburg, Va. Apparently the weather was too much like our spring variety to be wholly satisfactory, but time spent in Williamsburg is enjoyable at all seasons.

The Mowers have returned from Florida and their usual period of winter relaxation. Pen is reported as "full of pepper"—"stored sunshine," some say.

Squid's first green sheet is in circulation as of April 9 and it's always a privilege to read his news of the Class larded with needs of the College and spiked with Dartmouth Spirit. The Lampees are well and planning to see more of New England than in recent years in their new car. It's good to learn from Squid's sheet that Lt. Paul Terrien, Albert's third son, was in the only regiment to reach the Manchurian border and is now on the way home "safe and sound."

Representing us at the Boston Alumni Dinner on March 7 were Gil Moulton, PerceHobbs, Pete Maguire, Squid Lampee, GeneSewall, and Carl Woods. This for the record from Squid, who also relates a special and appreciated service rendered by the Gentleman from York Harbor and enjoyed by the Judge from the same Maine Township.

This same Judge Sewall delivered the speech at the Maine dinner of the Dartmouth- Portland alumni. Full of meat,—sage references to the days before, and hope for those ahead when the country's dog days are overit was a masterpiece arousing great enthusiasm from all listeners.

Ike Charron has had a difficult winter with setbacks in September and January which confined him to his bed for some weeks, but his unquenchable spirit of optimism is working overtime with good results. He is finding amusement and a real interest in a new hobby, painting, and makes this query "Wouldn't it be funny if X became a Grandpa Isaac to rival Grandma Moses?" Recent news indicates that he is coming downstairs and Ida has taken him riding once or twice, expecting to increase the dosage as sunshine becomes real and dependable. Recent telephone observers, say his voice is strong and cheerful as usual. Good going, Ike. Remember the prissy prep school professor of whom it was said, "Sunshine1 soured when it struck him"? Not for us.

King Woodbridge and his talented associates surely provide a product which receives enthusiastic support from its users who are broadening the market, at home and abroad, faster than Dictaphone Dictating Machines can be provided. 1950 was the big year in sales, income and growth in public thought and appreciation.

Briefly and to the point, Puddie Cobb writes on March 27 that "Edward Daniel, an unusually strong boy, was born to my eldest son and his wife Marie, at Plainview, L. I., March 31rd. Hope you are feeling well and enjoying life as I am."
