(From a letter from Stuart Bak-
er , written to a teacher in Hyannis
at Christmas). "I am working as an
orderly at the Billings Memorial
and Lying-in Hospital , which be-
longs to Chicago University. I ami
an operative room orderly and can
watch operations , whenever I want
to do so. I have apent many hours
watching these operations and I
enjoy my work very much. 1 have '
seen Dr. Dragstet and other noted
surgeons at work. Things like
these have almost made de decide
to go into medicine. 1 respectfully ,
suggest that you make your classes I
work harder. I thought when I got |
my diploma that I knew every- 1
thing. Three months later I real-
ized that I didn 't know anything. "

HEARING FROM RIO
But it is summer in Rio, on the
other side of the Equator, and this
j is what it is like, according to
a letter received by your corres-
pondent— "This is the fourth In a
series of blistering hot summer
days. The official temperature was
101 for the third consecutive day.
The sun grilled everything below
from a cloudless sky. They tell me
this may continue a month or may
break tomorrow. Up to New Year 's
Day the summer was 'very mild
and agreeable. The change has
been quite abrupt. I do not nnd it
intolerable , really, though I rather
miss Florida's sudden cooling
showers, Perhups they will come."

mas greens on the bonfire that was
lighted on the slope next to the

"DID YOU KNOW!"
"Did You Know " that Centervllle

1857. In 1852, In the beautiful and
dignified residence, in Bacon Lane,
which it is supposed he built, he
opened a school for boys, in which
Ills two daughters, Mary and Sarah,
among others, were teachers. Be-
ginning with local boys, attendance
from other towns on the Cape 1
grew and later from other states,
and a resident attendance of 25

ored career, Mr. Bacon passed
from this life and was liuried in
what is now known as Beechwood
Cemetery, not far from the main
gate. More recently, the house

ents of Howard Lumbort , and
others ot his family, from whom
it was purchased by Mr. and Mrs.
Emil Danielson of Brookllne , who
guard and cherish it as it deserves.

changed at all. Think of It as you
pass by.
