1941

After looking somewhat less than overpowering against Massachusetts in its opener last week, the Big Green Machine came on strong late in the third and the fourth quarters to score a convincing win, 27-0. By the time this reaches print the Holy Cross, Princeton, and a couple more Ivy League games will be history. Here's hoping we're still Number One!

The growing ranks of our corporate presidents were increased again recently. BillCashel last summer was elected president of both the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania and the Diamond State Telephone Company. He had been administrative vice president of the two companies. Bill started with Bell of Pennsylvania in 1946 after service with the Marine Corps during World War 11. In 1955 he was transferred briefly to the parent American Telephone and Telegraph Company, where he served in the operations and engineering departments. After returning to Pennsylvania, he became general manager of Diamond State in 1960 and vice president of Marketing for both companies in 1964. He was later vice president and general manager for Central Pennsylvania and vice president of operations for both companies before being named administrative vice president early last year.

Any list of the busiest men in the class must include Warner Bishop, who has been elected a trustee of the National Mortgage Fund of Cleveland, a real estate investment trust. Warner is chairman and president of Union Financial Corporation of Cleveland, president of the Union Savings Association, and chairman of both Cowles Tool Company and Copifyer Lithograph Corporation. In addition, he serves as a director of the Port Clinton National Bank, Bell Intercontinental Corporation, Pacific Industries, Aurora Corporation and National Cleveland Corporation. In his off hours Bish has found time to serve as chairman of the Cleveland Area Heart Society, and as a director of the Ohio and American Heart Societies; and for five years was president of the National Council for High Blood Pressure Research.

Dr. Frank Brooks, as president, will preside at the second annual meeting of the Lahey Clinic Foundation Alumni Association to be held in Boston this fall. Frank is Professor of Medicine and Physiology in the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and is on the active staff of the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, where he is Chief of the Gastrointestinal Section. Frank will also participate in the professional program and deliver a paper on "Who Will Teach Clinical Medicine?"

Eastern Gas and Fuel Associates has formed a new subsidiary, Eastern Urban Services, Inc., and Larry Thompson has been named both president of the new company and a senior vice president of the parent company. Larry, who is also a trustee of Eastern, was formerly Professor of Business Ad- ministration at Harvard Business School, where he was a member of the faculty since 1948. Eastern Urban is offering a solid waste management system, based on high pressure compaction of refuse, a program Larry hails as "a practical, economic answer to a major problem of our times."

Ed McMillan, who joined Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith as a salesman in Portland, Ore., in 1946 and rose through the ranks to become a senior vice president and director and manager of the firm's Boston office, has resigned his positions with that brokerage firm, and plans to attend Harvard this fall for a year of graduate work in economics, after which he hopes to teach at the undergraduate level. "The move," Ed said, "came after 24 years of punching the corporate timeclock, and was made before too many years piled up." He went on to say "I don't expect to change the world, but I've wanted to do this for some time, and there is a need for opposition voices to the S.D.S. and others at the undergraduate level." Ed hopes to raise his voice in the greater Boston area. He moved many times in his years in the brokerage business and doesn't want to move again, if he can avoid it.

A recent issue of "Finance" magazine carried a profile of adman Frank Hall, president of Albert Frank, Gunther Law, Inc. The article featured Frank's well known travels, including five trips around the world and twelve briefer expeditions in eight years, rounding up material for ads for the National City Bank of New York. His last trek took just 22 days and included stops in San Francisco, Osaka, Manila, Ceylon, Madras, Lehore, Tehran, and back to New York! If you run into Frank, don't let him kid you about the exotic looking monogram embroidered on his Hong Kong shirts. The tailor told him the ideograph really means "please do not starch."

Once again I am saddened that I must include an obituary in the column this month. Herb Bailey passed away on September 19 in Elizabeth, N. J.

More next month, but it will be all address changes if I don't get some fresh news. Support the Big Green with your cheers; and support your old Secretary with your letters!

Secretary, 9 Oak Drive Bedford, N. H. 03102
