They are both in charge of the culinarv department in the Hotel Paree, And were the meals good! .Xmy Holdsworth assists them and gives morning broadcasts on their famous recipes. Un the boat they showed a movieAand guess who was in it ?-Mary hlcfartliy-slie's certainly quite the modern Simon Sinioneg and lloris Ryan did some marvelous dances-shes the best thing in the movies since Ginger Rogers retired. You'd be interested in a call I had just this morning from the local policeg they had picked up Eleanor Broadley, Edith Harper, and El- len Mahan as vagrants. They were hitch-hiking around the world and didn't have a cent or any means of identification. It seems they are planning to write up their adventures in book form. Madeline lieaney is going to help them write it and Marjorie Cournoyer will illustrate it. so they tell me. Heavens! Did they get arrested? No, I identified them and then Fred Daniher.. who is a big ragilroad magnate over here gave them free transportation on some of his lines and also some letters of introduction and they went on their way happy. I bet theirs will be some story when it comes out! I should say so. I must watch the bookstands for it. Speaking of stories, I see you have a couple of best sellers on your bookshelf. You mean XrVhy I Like Democrats by Marcia Bates and Wfhe Value of Silence by Isabelle Prescott. Yes, they are considered remarkable books. Both authors must have deeply enjoyed their subjects. By the way, I suppose you saw the Olympic hockey team at the game this year. Yes, I didg you know Bud Moir, YVally Sabean, George Todd. Carl Gay and Froggy Ferguson skated their opponents off the ice. I heard Stanley Blanchard speak of it in his broadcast last night. Wrhen we were ini High School., it used to be Lowell Thomas'-now it's Stanley Blanchard that everyone listens to! Speaking of sports. Bud Feeley and Lou Cardellicchio have been playing professional basketball in Indiana. And I suppose you know Dot Green is ping- pong champion of America! Say, that reminds me, di:dn't I read that Ed Lee, manager of the Boston Bees, sent Dizzy Hladick to the Yanks again, to aid his brother aloe. And did you hear about George Mullen? He won 23 games for the Bees last year! That's wonderful, but Bill., this is really supposed to be an interview so I will have to ask you some hard questions. NVhat do you thifnk of our aerial offense and how about the Navy? XVith that new plane designed by Phil NVright and Burpee Adams we have the best in the world. Domiuiicj Digiacomo and Art Desd They champs are covering the Atlantic and the Pacific very well. are reputed to have the fastest ships that have ever' sailed the seven seas. W7asn't johnny Kleinfelder going into the Navy.. too? Yes, but as our 1938 Senior Play showed, johnny couldn't stand the sea. He is a recruiting officer in East Natick. Speaking of Natick, I heard a funny amateur hour program the other night-it was Tommy Klein, NVillard Nims, Bob Buckley and Earl l93S SASSMMDN

The American Consul to Istanbul is about to be interviewed by an American Foreign Correspondent. Wiell, if it isn't Bill Davis! XYhy Anne. don't tell me you are the reporter that's been hounding me for the last two weeks? You know, Bill. how newspapers must get their stories and Dick Taffe is reporting on a rival paper so I just had to beat him to it. So you're the American Consul here. XYell, you always were in- terested in International Relations, If Miss Rafferty could only see you now I ' How is your job? Is it a lonesome one? Have you been alone ever since you left Ame-rica? Uh, no-one thing about this job, you're always meeting new people and old friends pop up in the most unexpected places. Of all things. Hester Pfeiffer was 'dhe ship's hostess! And th-e first person I met after boarding the ship was the purser. and who should it be but Howard Balcolm. Remember Anna Santia? She was on the boat as governess for the various children passengers. I went into tlhe ship's library to look up some material, and who should greet me as the ship's librarian but Shirley Fox. We took a sightseeing trip over the boat, and in the engine room was Earl Simmonds as a me- chanic. Loyal Liscombe and Robert I-licks were sailors. The head dietitian was none other than Dorothy Temple. As you can imag- gine it was a great trip-quite a Natick High reunion!

They called themselves the Nut Club lioys. .Arthur Ker- mode was the Master of Ceremonies. He gave them the gong! That's a good one. The other. night XVilbur Parcells knocked out ,loe Louis: you should have heard Henry Anderson describing the fight. They say XYilbur dropped Louis right into Ned Pierce's lap as he was taking some pictures. Last week I saw that new male ballet in Rome. Butch Brennan, Rich Carey and Fran Sims were the leading dancers. Such grace! The real show was to see Helen and Sis Shea tap dance, though. XYalter Parker was performing as a magiciang he goes by the name of Ah Kan Du now. Say. do you know who passed through here yesterday? ,Adele Ham- wey, Virginia Hosmer and the two Ruth Johnsons. Adele is buying agent for her father. and the others are setting up missionary head- quarters here. Gene Clark and George Young were in close pursuit but George says he and Gene are just out fishing. Fishing reminds me that Anna Dahlgren, Saga Sealiolm and Dot Danforth have just hooked themselves millionaires for life. Mary Horrigan didn't acquire so much money but he's a Duke or something and has an S K I on the end of his name. Moi I.eland, who was the Democratic campaign manager during the last election, was terrihly upset when President Stump Grassey ap- pointed that cabinet of his, with all women and only one man. I don't know what will happen to good old IJ. S. A. now. You needn't be in the least worried. It's in the best of hands. I guess tlie reason he appointed so many women was because Edna Pelullo, Georgianna Ullrich, Helen Patista. and Loretta ljouret put the pressure on him in behalf of the National NYomen's Right's As- sociation. Did you hear who is on the cabinet? No. I suppose Natick is represented. or has our former Class Presi- dent forgotten his olcl home town? NYait until you hear: Barbara Bean is Secretary of the Treasury lietty Graham is Postmaster-General Lois Forster is Secretary of the State Katherine Heath is Secretary of the Navy Fran Houlihan. Secretary of Labor Marion Porter. Secretary of the Interior Effie Erickson, Secretary of Commerce Shirley Parker, Secretary of W'ar Francis Nickerson, Secretary of Agriculture And last.. but not least, Mel Goodwin is Attorney-General. XVouldn't you think he'd feel queer. being the only man? Uh, nofMelvin's used to that! I hear Dorothy Conlon has charge of checking up on late employees in the Post Office Department. Vvhat seemed to be new in Natick when you left? Well, let me see. liill Hanagan and Ralph I-lall are running eleva- tors in the Hotel Kendall in Framingham. They are certainly hav- ingl their ups and downs. Did you hear about Virginia liecherer, Rita Kane and Virginia
