Bill Edwards, as most of you know, lives in what was called the "Wild West"; Buffalo Bill, et al. He likes it, and claims there is a satisfaction in seeing things grow, and that there is, in the vast spaces, a freedom not found in the more settled areas of the East. In a recent letter Bill has given an interesting sketch of land problems in Wyoming. He writes: "My principal interest has been and still is in irrigated land. It is a many sided affair. You have to get water to the land; using canals, dams, and reservoirs. The land has to be broken up and cultivated, water spread, crops harvested, and sold in world markets or fed to livestock. Frequently the operators in excess zeal apply too much water, the land gets bogged, and it takes time and effort to redeem the soil. Homes, roads, schools, churches, and towns have to be built. It is all a part of growing America."

And among other things Bill remarks that he has a soft job with an easy chair; that five grandchildren, radio, and TV keep him well occupied. Well, Bill, we guess you have earned that soft job.

A letter from Mary Morse, daughter of Nat Morse, gives news of her sister Nancy. During the past year Nancy had to undergo a major surgical operation and was confined to a hospital for some weeks. At the date of the letter, Mary reported that her sister was entirely recovered and was employed as a nurse-companion of an elderly lady in Clearwater, Fla. Of herself Mary writes she is looking forward to being transferred from Texas to New England to finish out the year and a half left of her tour of duty in the Army Medical Corps. It is now nearly twenty years since she enlisted, and she adds: "It has been a wonderful experience." The class extends congratulations to Mary for the long years spent as an Army nurse which have involved loyalty, devotion, and unselfish service.

John D. Warden '48, son of our JohnnyWarden, reports that his father loves to talk about Dartmouth as he knew it in his college days. The new Dartmouth with its large student body — a single class larger than the entire enrollment during our time in college - its thriving construction program, and its revised three term-three course curriculum is to him in the nature of conundrum, riddle, enigma akin to Winston Churchill's cryptic definition of the USSR.

It is now confirmed that our long lost classmate, Archie Isaac, has a permanent address in Seattle, Wash. The place where he lives, though perhaps not quite the equal of the more luxurious establishments which cater to an educated taste, bears the title of Capitol Hotel, 108 Jackson Street. It is believed that Archie has straightened himself out. Judge Hodson '29 writes that the last time he saw Archie he was clean and neat and as bright as a dollar. It is good after all these years to hear about our classmate and to have a definite address for him.

From Oct. 4 to Oct. 16, your secretary and his wife along with friends from the West were on tour in parts of New England. First objective Nantucket. Four days were spent in this fascinating spot. We reveled in the old, slant roofed, grey shingled houses, narrow winding lanes, cobbled streets of the old town, sea and moors sparkling in the bright sunlight, and the lush magnificence of the erstwhile whaling industry. This crescent shaped isle, far removed from the hurlyburly of the Main Land, radiates a quaintness and beauty of its own. From Nantucket our party adjourned to the colorful vistas of Pinkham Notch, Lake Winnepesaukee, Franconia Notch, and Smuggler's Notch over in Vermont. Everywhere there was beauty and light. Each year in October throughout New England Nature puts on an unsurpassed spectacle of color which delights eye and mind. It almost seems the colors this year were more bountiful and vivid than ever. The recurring miracle of Autumn is one of the great glories of New England.
