w. Goulding Warren was a candidate for the office of tax collector of Holden, Mass., in the town election last March 3. No results have been received but we presume he now holds that office. He has been town treasurer for 10 years and a former state representative from the 9th Worcester District. He is a member of the Wachusett Regional School District Committee-a substantial citizen of Holden. His home is on Laurelwood Road.

Jack and Louise Nelson have returned from their California visit. While in Los Angeles Tack had a nice but short call with Ray Bennett, short because Mrs. Edward Arnold was waiting for Ray at the time.

Elmer Clayton Tucker was honored on April 16 by the Holyoke Industrial Association Approximately 300 members of the Association gathered at Toto's restaurant in Smith's Ferry for its annual banquet meeting. A special gift was presented to Clayton Tucker in testimony of his long and faithful service in behalf of the association as its first president. A framed scroll was presented by C. H.' Bert Kent '10, a past president of the association. Congratulations to Clayt. We continuously hear of his public spirited services. He is Vice President of two of the largest paper mills in Holyoke, the Chemical Paper Mfg. Co. and the Crocker-McElwain Co. He was really the brains behind the successful conclusions of a hearing which determined that we would not have a Connecticut Valley Authority and that the Connecticut River would be in the hands of private enterprise. Clayt is a man of whom we of Dartmouth can be very proud.

Chuck and Barbara Riley starred in a thrilling escape on April 16, being rescued from the roof of their new home at Yarmouthport after a fire which extensively damaged the structure and drove them from their bedroom. They were rescued by Yarmouth firemen from the flat rear roof. Heated air from fire which evidently smouldered for some time burst out suddenly in an explosion, waking them and isolating them in their upstairs room. Chuck says the living room was virtually ruined, and one side of the house burned enough to require rebuilding. The fire department was summoned by means of an upstairs phone, lucky, for they could not get downstairs. Barbara had just completed "spring house cleaning."

James L. "Pat" Maloney had a serious operation last May, recovered and took a trip to England and France. He was on leave from the Chicago Tribune and on his return to this country had to retire for physical reasons. This ends 35 years of his association with the Tribune, and he now plans to farm, mainly by proxy. While his residence is still Flossmoor, Ill., he is spending time hither and yon over the country, chiefly in Florida and California.

Len Manley's youngest son, Vaughan, was graduated from Stanford last March and upon his return from Europe expects to take his Master's degree in education, preparing to teach later on. Vaughan planned his own trip to Europe and engineered it. Over on a Holland-American Line freighter he'll bicycle over there. He first expects to attend the Olympic games at Helsinki and then work his way south.

Sid Akerstrom is back on the business mart. The Hunkins & Eaton Agency, insurance, in Littleton, N. H., gives him plenty to do to keep from having the time drag. One of the members of the firm, an old friend of Sid's, died and the widow has asked him to enter the office to assist in the business of general insurance.

George Steele toured to Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, Colo., during the Choate School spring vacation. In Denver he found BobMoore and enjoyed an interesting lunch at the Cactus Club-old world atmosphere and western hospitality. Don Cunningham was away on a well-earned holiday, fishing, of course.
