No man loves dogs like Add Warner. He lavishes his affections on hundreds. To care for them he gets up at 7 a.m., drives his car hundreds of miles, puts in a 12-hour day seven days a week, and knocks himself out - with a smile. Why should he attend a dog show in San Antonio on Saturday and on Sunday another in Houston, each running from 8 in the morning until 8 at night? Because he wants dogs to be properly fed. Canned dog food, 70% water, is for pampered pets. As owner of Imco (Independent Milling Co.) Add caters to thinking working-dog owners, like the Carswell Air Force Base officers who use German shepherds for sentry dogs. The trainers have tested Add and Imco scientifically. They measure the food, weigh the dogs before and after an eight-hour workout over a full week, and assure themselves that without the addition of further meat the dogs maintain their weight, increase their efficiency, enjoy improved coats, and their watch-dog dispositions. Add's watch-Imco disposition is benign when it comes to working dogs, edgy about pampered pets, and cantankerous about canned dog food made by other companies which make mendacious claims about a complete food. Illogically they suggest that horse meat may occasionally be added. Primarily theatrical prima donnas, these companies are lovely liars on TV. Add puts his money into the food, and, loving truth, hundreds of dogs bark approval.

To celebrate their fortieth wedding anniversary Ellwood and Marion Fisher with their two children and their spouses on a three-week vacation in Europe ended up with a flourish at Claridge's in London. Woody '60, now father of two baby girls, continues to advance in business.

Tom and Betty Cleveland are talking of a flight to England.

Gordon Merriam does not like any big city, not even London. He is fond of small ones, like Machias, where last summer he had one of the world's best strawberry pies. The smaller the town, the better Gordon likes it. In Jonesport, he, Roberta, and his son John took breakfast at the only restaurant in town, Ginny's. They admired the broad backs of 20 fishermen seated at the counter, who had been hauling lobster traps since they were 11. The combined power of those 20 backs may equal that of a medium-sized bulldozer. With trees, salt and fresh water, blueberry bushes, and gardens in and about Damariscotta to turn his hand to, Gordon travels only for family reasons. Hence two weeks in Sedona, Ariz., in spectacular red-rock country to visit his daugh- ter Eleanor and her husband Peter Juniholm, a teacher at the Verde Valley School surrounded by the Coconino National Forest.

After the Bob Burroughs' party, Daveand Edith Bowen, Harry and Mary Garland, and Mary Burek adjourned to AbeWeld's home in Bradford and continued festivities. Later the Garlands motored through Vermont, Canada, and Maine. And still later Abe and Dave cruised for three days in Dave's boat and anchored nights in Scituate and Provincetown.

Following the urging of Doug Storer,John C. Gorman, vice president of American Cigar, sent to Dartmouth College a xerox of the letter written by Daniel Webster in 1850 to Daniel S. Dickinson, a United States Senator, in which Webster apologizes for his behavior at some point during his Senate relations with Dickinson.

Again this year Mac Johnson has served as a tax consultant for the firm of H&R-Block and handled some 545 accounts from January to May. He found the work rewarding, for at the end of each day he had helped persons solve their problems with the Government, the District of Columbia, and state-taxing authorities. Having handled more than 1000 tax accounts in the past 16 months, Mac believes that he has a better than average understanding of what is on taxpayers' minds leading perhaps to major fiscal reforms.

Dr. Norman Crisp continues to win applause for his medical, political, and social services to Nashua and New Hampshire. The latest is the citation awarded him by the New Hampshire Medical Society for outstanding community service in 1969.

Appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Rye Free Reading Room, Harry Chamberlaine brings to his new assignment his decades of experience with the Hearst Corporation as magazine publisher and vice president for Research and Marketing. He started the Latin-American edition of "Good Housekeeping" and served as president of the Periodical-Publishers Association.

Blair Watson attended the University Film Association six-day summer conference at Penn State University. In a Nantucket so- journ he called on Carl and Peg England, Joe and Marion Folger, George Wood, Jerry and Dottie Lathrop, and John and Madeline Finch. In Rochester, N. Y., on two occasions Blair was judge of the Teen- Age Movie Awards. If you failed to see him at the Dartmouth-UNH game, he was probably at the Air Force Academy. During the college year he will be busy with two film courses and two freshman advisees par- ticularly interested in film study.

Jack '62, son of Hubbell and MargaretFitzgibbon, was married in Torrington, Conn., to Margi, a 21-year-old graduate of Albertus Magnus College who has studied music at the University of London and by now should have her master of music degree. Hubbell and Margaret continue to be proud about Dartmouth's handling of campus disorders and problems.

Ike Chester is getting ready to retire for the fourth time. On his recent third retirement as Kokomo civic leader and industrialist, he received at an Indianapolis formal dinner a plaque from the American United Life Insurance Company. He had completed 15 years as director and vice president in Charge of Marketing. His first retirement occurred when the Globe American Company merged with the Vulcan Hart Company and he became chairman of Vulcan. The second was when in Ike Chester style he retired as full-time vice president of American. He continued as a member of the Board of Trustees, chairman of the Audit Committee, vice chairman of the Finance and Investment Committee, secretary of the Executive Committee, and member of the Salary and Nominating Committee. Now "retired," he is busy as a director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, director of the First National Bank of Kokomo, director of the Travel Corporation of Kokomo, and director of the Indiana University Foundation. No time to travel? Watch for the November issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Not for the mob! The four-year-old daughter of Werner Janssen watched a piano tuner tuning her father's midget Clavi. After the piano tuner had tried to impress her and her father in a mediocre performance of a flashy piece as he thumped the floor in off-rhythm, the little girl with innocent precocity asked, "Why do you beat time with your foot?" Pointing to her head and heart, she observed with a sudden burst of intuitive wisdom, "Why do you? I have it there and there."

Joe Folger has been rereading a Brazilian novel in Portuguese. He is also deep in the New Testament in German, which, building up his vocabulary gives his conversation a quaint Teutonic flavor. If he should meet Martin Luther at the Pearly Gates, Joe, speaking German, should be able to communicate with old-fashioned nicety and elevated emphasis about mighty fortresses, earthly and celestial.
