1944

The Procter and Gamble Co. doesn't put out as painstakingly accurate profit and loss statements as the one Willie McElnea prepared on our reunion activities. It is a masterpiece, and continuing the dissimilarity to P & G, showed a gross profit of $95.65. continental Hotel in San'Juan. And the good people of Middlesex, Conn., have in the interests of a successful United Fund Drive, appointed Dr. Bill Gatlin to head up the Professional Division. If the young man from whom Bill bought the auction ticket on the cuff doesn't claim his $45 immediately, the Middlesex Fund might go over the top.

Dr. Harry Morse, a specialist in medical and surgical problems of ear, nose, and throat, has joined the medical staff of the Geisinger Memorial Hospital in Danville, Penna. Parthenon Pictures' Rog Clark has picked up from Pennsylvania and moved to Chicago. Ralph "Bud" Welsh was recently appointed an agent of the Insurance Company of North American Companies in Mendham, N. J. He is president of the Board of Deacons of Hilltop Presbyterian Church, president of the Cosma Lake Club, and secretary of the Morristown Rotary Club.

Just in case you're planning a fall trip to Sao Paulo, you'll be pleased to know that Joe MacFarland, Director-Superintendent of Companhia Petroquimica Brasileira, reports that gin is cheap and martinis very dry down there and he'd love to show you around. And speaking about martinis, Boog McLoud concocts a pleasant one in his new home in Birmingham, Mich. That brings up beer, and Anheuser-Busch, and the fact that Frank Parker has been transferred from Milwaukee to Milton, Mass.

Roland Pease has forsaken United Press to break out on his own. Now when you get to an airport and are jazzing around the bookstands, you can look around for his latest effort along with Bill Ard's.

The Al Hormels have gone all-out in leaving the concrete jungle of New York for something quaint when they elected a home in Weston, Conn., on Curiosity Lane. And Syd Bowers, after eons of open spaces in Saudi Arabia, is now cozily settled in N.Y.C. Another traveler, Dud Wilson, is living just outside in Pelham. I don't know whether he's still in the Air Force or not.

In case there is any question about a definite increase in population trend, our class to date is responsible for over 1500 happy little Americans. And there's no sign of a let-up. It will be grand when the little rascals grow up and take it upon themselves to drop me a line with some news about their old man, the lack of which now makes it necessary to close here.
