In a recent issue of the Boston Herald there is a story about the near completion of the Boston & Maine Plan. The writer states that this will mark the completion of one of the most drastic capital rehabilitation plans in the history of New England railroads.

"While Mr. French has retired as president and is now chairman of the Board, he can take a bow for a thorough and remarkable job of physical and financial re- building in a period that encompassed the great depression of the 1930'5."

Jack Kingsbury writes that John Slack is operating a very fine gift shop in Myrtle Beach.
