1932*

A skeptical member of the class has hinted that the absence of these notes in last month's issue, and their subsequent inclusion in the first Fund newsletter, was part of an intentional build-up for the Fund—a new gag in sales promotion. He happens to be dead wrong—it was merely a last-minute inspiration when the copy missed the MAGAZINE deadline. But it brought at least one check in to JohnSheldon. So we're satisfied. And RodHatcher's breezy series, soon to begin, should send us over the top with flying colors.

Howdy Pierpont and his bride stopped off in Chicago on their way back from a honeymoon in the West, and consulted with our head class agent. The Pierponts are living at 3 East Post Road, Larchmont, N. Y. Dick Cleaves was married March 1 to Marg Shurtleff of Peoria, 111., Don MacPhail being among those present. Bennett,Ireys, Wright, Morton, Kirby, McGowan and others were planning to be on hand for the annual Chicago banquet. Further details are lacking, but as we go to press word comes that Bob Hosmer was adjudged a fine specimen and forthwith summoned to Fort Niagara for a year's service.

Mike Allison, Chattanooga barrister, was married last October 19 to Miss La Georgia Newell of that city. Arnold Warmolts has moved his residence to Paterson, N. J., but continues to work for McCann-Erickson in New York City. Buster Sails, who recently completed his work at North Adams State Teachers College, is a grammar school principal in Norton, Mass. BenBurch has moved back to Washington, D. C., and Dr. Ben Read's new Atlanta, Ga., address is 993 Stovall Blvd. MorryHubbard's activities as secretary of Hubbard, Westervelt & Hubbard have taken him to the South and Middle West on recent trips. Bob Gould has turned commuter, having moved his family complete with twins to North Stamford, Conn., near the New Canaan line.

Ben Jeffery's job with the Champion Spark Plug Cos. is now listed as ceramic engineer. Heinie Hodges is with a service station in Taunton. Dick Holway is vice president of Muirhead & Holway, a Boston wood preservation concern. Dan Kraft lives in Meriden, Conn., and is editor of the Insilc'o News, published by the International Silver Cos. Terry Logan is with Tames J. Sullivan, Inc., Boston liquor dealers. Tom Hope is regional traffic manager in Kansas City for Montgomery Ward g. Cos, George Ellsworth, who got his A.B. from Dickinson in 1933, is an investigator for the Pennsylvania State Workmen's Compensation Board. Dick Dixon is assistant manager of the George C. Moore Wool Scouring Mills in Massachusetts. Charlie McCoy, who received a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1938, is studying for the priesthood at St. Paul Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. His twin brother, Jim, is a doctor in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Al Gerould has no particular news of West Coast activities to report. However, he was East last summer, stayed overnight with the Pete Knights in Cleveland and saw Ellie Jump and Dave Kirby in Chicago. Ellie is doing dental research at the University of Chicago. Dave is western advertising manager for American Boy, and "looking more American and boyish than ever."

Irv Kramer's new Great Neck home-andoffice is nearing completion, and the good doctor and family hope to move in sometime in April. Carl Baker is the author of "Vachel Lindsay at Princeton," which appeared in a recent issue of the PrincetonUniversity Chronicle.

The highlight of this month's report is a letter from Virginia Wentworth, wife of Bo Wentworth, containing news of her husband's experiences as relayed by friends returning from occupied France and from smuggled letters. Bo put Mrs. Wentworth and their daughter, Linda, on the Washington last June in Bordeaux, then returned to his office in Paris. He is in the fire insurance line, and incidentally is one of the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris.

"We thought we had seen tragedy and drama," she writes, "in the midst, of the million or two refugees from the north who streamed down to the South when we did, but for Bo the excitement and tragedy were just beginning.

"As soon as we were away, he went directly back to Paris to evacuate his office staff and valuable documents. In an old Chevrolet he had purchased he started back for the South—a spot near Biarritz was his destination. That trip outdid the average nightmare with a large margin to spare. It took five days to cover five hundred miles, but miles of rain, roads choked with civilian refugees, retreating troops, almost no food, no lodging, and only a few liters of gas a day. Then before the journey was over came the fatal news of the capitulation of France, which must have been just about the final straw. "For the months of June and July, Bo remained in the little resort town, resting and waiting for things to settle down and trying futilely to establish communication with his many agents in France, Holland and Belgium. In August he returned to Paris and has remained there ever since."

After a period of reorganization, business started again, and has been phenomenally good, because with the British companies out of the picture, the local firms were anxious to insure with American companies. However, an American break with the axis would change all that. The Wentworth apartment has been occupied for several months by German officers and Bo is living in a small hotel near his office.

"There are very few Americans left in Paris," the narrative continues, "and social life is practically non-existent. Apparently a few still get together for a Friday night of bowling, and one American couple managed somehow to find the wherewithal for a real American Christmas dinner, but on the whole life is pretty bleak." Food is expensive and scarce, heat is "at a pretty primitive level," and the midnight curfew is strictly enforced.

"These annoying restrictions of a military regime are doubly trying in Paris, where one's freedom to do as one pleased was one of the most agreeable features of life there."

Word from Bo received in February indicates that he may soon be on his way back home. Meanwhile we are grateful to Mrs. Wentworth, writing from Auburndale, Mass., for a graphic picture of his experiences.
