It looks as though there will be a fine attendance, including your Secretary, who is very happy that the dinner was scheduled at a time when he has to be in New York on business. Speaker at the dinner will be Lee Greenebaum.

The current issue of Cary Stiff's "Dogwood Farm Doin's" is largely concerned with an account of the trip that he and Helen madethis past summer aboard the "Cariboo Country Special," which is a trip sponsored by the Western Pacific Railroad, starting in San Francisco, going up through Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, swinging east through Alberta in a long loop back to Vancouver, then back south to San Francisco again. The trip involved travel on six different railroads, not counting those used in getting from Michigan to the West Coast and back.
