1925

CLIPPING TID-BITS: Bob Carpenter continues to speak before club groups on alcoholism. Charlie Moore has joined the Rockefeller presidential campaign staff as public relations coordinator. Charlie, it will be recalled, formerly served as a consultant to President Eisenhower and to other public officials in Massachusetts and Michigan. Bob Misch, our noted authority on wine spent several weeks last fall completing a tour of 29 California vineyards during the crushing period. Mott Garlock, faculty member of Western New England College in addition to serving Massachusetts Mutual Life as director of investment research, recently spoke before a group of credit execu- tives on the subject of "Strategic Economic Patterns of 1964." Jack Livermore retired December 31 as purchasing agent for General Electric distribution transformer department after having been with the firm 35 years. He is moving to Easton, Md., from Pittsfleld, Mass., where no doubt he will be missed in the light of his activities. He was a director and chairman of the membership committee of the United Community Services and chairman of the Pittsfield-Lanesboro United Fund Drive in 1955. He was active in the Boy Scouts and headed the first fund drive for the Pittsfleld Citizens Scholarship Fund in 1959. He is a past president of the Alford Brook Club, a member of the Country Club of Pittsfield and has been active in the local barbershop quartet organization. Bob Pierce filled a dire need for Hartford, Conn., citizens in April 1962 by establishing a Buick dealership, of which there had been none in the city since the spring of 1961. Late in November Bob passed a milestone in this par- ticular operation by delivering his 1,000th Buick. He also operates (with the help of Bob, Junior) Buick and Chevrolet dealerships in Pawtucket, R. I. Ben Werntz, executive vice president and counsel of National Screw Machine Products Association, has been inaugurated national chairman of the Manufacturing Trade Association Group of National Industrial Council.

Two bandits dressed as Santa Clauses walked into the new Alpine State Bank of Rockford, Illinois, during the Yuletide season and asked to see Stan Smith, president, about a Christmas promotional scheme. The receptionist said Stan had just gone out to lunch, whereupon they proceeded to hold up the bank, forcing the main floor employees and customers into the vault and walking out with packs over their shoulders containing $36,000. Al Sparks, the local insurance tycoon, settled the bank's loss claim in full the next day.

Bob Millett, who received his master's degree from Harvard and has been a teacher of mathematics at Everett (Mass.) High School since 1929, was recently reported as being a candidate for a newly created position as head of the mathematics department. We hope he bowls over the opposition which consists of three other aspirants.

We're indebted to Rad Tanzer for a report on Nort Canfield upon his return from a two-week vacation in the Virgin Islands. We quote: "Nort, as you probably recall, has given up a professorship in the Yale Medical School to enter what I would consider the idyllic life - he is now in charge of the ear, nose and throat service at the one hospital in Saint Croix, where he has received a substantial grant to carry out projects related to his field of particular interest (hard-of-hearing problems), and in off moments continues his association with the Veterans Hospital in Puerto Rico and makes frequent trips to Washington where he is the consultant to the Veterans Administration in problems of the hard-of-hearing. His wife, Panchita, charming as ever, serves a luncheon which would stir any devotee of Escoffier to ecstasies. She is busy with a number of projects on the island, whilst keeping a watchful eye on two youngsters presently in schools in New England."
