We have recently heard that Harry Merson, of Falmouth, Mass., was the speaker at a public meeting held at the Eliot Baha'i Center in Dover, N. H. His subject was "One World — One Faith." Harry is, at present, chairman of the Educational Policies Commission of the Massachusetts School Superintendents Association and is superintendent of schools in Falmouth.

As many of you know, Hanover has really had some snow this winter, one fall alone having measured 30.8 inches. We have only recently seen a photograph of the collapse of a garage roof, due to the snow load in Lebanon, and among the crushed and damaged cars were several owned by Joe D'Esopo as part of his Hertz U-Drive-It system in that area.

Those of you who knew him will be sorry to hear of the death of Art Nighswander's father at the age of 87 in January in Fort Myers, Fla., where he was spending the winter with Art's sister.

We were very pleased to hear that Brooks White has been signally honored by his associates in the insurance field in Providence, R. I. After twenty-five years in the commercial banking field, Brooks decided, in 1949, that his knowledge and experience could be used to greater advantage in another field, chose insurance, and settled in a new, strange city. In 1953, 1955 and 1957 he has delivered more than a million dollars worth of life insurance, despite an illness in 1956 which has severely limited his professional activities and outside interests.
