1916
The editor of this MAGAZINE has given the class secretaries an out this month by asking us to be brief because of the Fund report, and I have on hand a large supply of brevity, so shall comply with his request, giving you some news of the Class in a soon-to-be-written Newsletter. I shall give here some items which will interest not only '16ers but adjacent classes, as follows:
Charlie Jones wrote from the Pink Beach in Bermuda, where he was honeymooning with his bride, the former Mrs. Ruth Lamborn Branan. They were married October 10. Congratulations to both. Any girl lucky enough to get Charlie is the kind of girl Charlie is lucky to get.
Whitley "Pete" McCoy, as you heard, was appointed director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and though we haven't seen Pete in Washington he has been here and there, speaking before various bodies. As we understand it (correct me if I'm wrong) this Service brings together the nion bosses and the business tycoons and they agree on how much they will soak the public for the boon of being served by union labor.
It seems that our Tog Upham has been driving around for years in a 1939 Ford station wagon, which he uses in connection with his business. This car was minus a door on one side, was air-conditioned with exhaust vapors from the floor boards, and spread a bit of soot on passengers. Also the car had no reverse gear and only went forwards. No retreat, men. I understand Tog was known on the highways as the Menace of Maiden and women shrieked and strong men trembled when Tog and his chariot hove into view. Now he has a beautiful 1951 Pontiac station wagon, and took Jack and Kay for a ride, amazing one and all with what he could do with his new contraption. It goes backwards, turns corners, has directional lights, speedometer, radio, heater and all sorts of gadgets, buttons, discs, plungers, handles and levers the use of which Tog has not yet discovered, but on which he is working. He occasionally sheds a tear, however, for the antique and faithful Ford which carried over so much road and so many years.
Col John L. Ames Jr. got a lot of merited publicity, in spite of his natural modesty, when he got the cluster to the nation's second highest non-combat decoration for "planning the prisoner-of-war exchange in Korea."
Carol Chase Mason passed away on October 6. An obituary will appear in In Memoriam.
Roswell Magill, nationally recognized tax authority, was mentioned in an editorial in Collier's for September 4, and quoted as pointing out the limited control which Congress has over Government spending.
The many friends of Jawn and Helen McAuliffe will be glad to learn from me that they are both in the pink, if appearances don't lie, and when the Wilsons saw them in Worcester recently they were in high spirits and with no worries except the loss of some fine trees on the estate of Levi Lincoln, opposite their apartment. That's all for now. You have the Balmacaan Newsletter.
