...years of its existence, First Church in Newton, Mass, has had only a dozen pastors. Its last one, Rev. Dwight Jacques Bradley, went last autumn to Boston's musty Union Congregational Church which he soon titillated by calling in an interpretative dancer named Eleanor Schirmer (TIME, Dec. 31). Last month the call of First Church's congregation of 1.013 sedate suburbanites for a successor to Mr. Bradley was answered by no less a person than the Moderator of the Congregational & Christian Churches - Rev. Dr. Jay Thomas Stocking. The new shepherd will take the Newton pulpit next...
Peddie's longtime Headmaster Roger Williams Swetland died of ripe old age last autumn. In 36 years he had covered the campus at Hightstown, N. J., with new buildings, made his school the pride of U. S. Baptists and a major feeder for Princeton. Last week Peddie, too, got a religious, athletic new headmaster in the Rev. Wilbour E. Saunders, Secretary of the Rochester (N. Y.) Federation of Churches, onetime pastor of Brooklyn's Marcy Avenue Baptist Church. Peddie trustees knew they were choosing a man whose study at Cambridge had given him a strong enthusiasm...
...coat, Roscoe Turner took off from Miami for New York (1,200 mi.) last week, ostensibly to break Rickenbacker's transport record of 8 hr. 36 min. With him in the United Air Lines' Boeing in which he placed third in the England-Australia air race last autumn was United's Traffic Manager Harold Crary.

Pilot Dick Merrill refueled at Charleston, picked up a tailwind at Richmond, scooted into Newark at 227 m.p.h., two minutes ahead of Turner...
Into that scene last autumn buzzed a gadfly named Transradio Press Service, an upstart newsgathering organization in the business of serving independent radio stations which preferred not to be bound by the truce (TIME, Oct. 29). In Pittsburgh Transradio found such a station in WJAS, which is locally owned but hooked into the Columbia network. WJAS found a potent sponsor in Kaufmann's department store, biggest, most progressive retail business in Pittsburgh. On New Year's Day, WJAS inaugurated two daily 15-min. news broadcasts, supplied by Transradio and paid for, $1,000 a week, by Kaufmann...
...Last autumn her talent for mimicry and histrionics was displayed before an admiring hometown audience, in the amateur theatre of the Palo Alto Community Players. Asked to take the part of the Widow Cagle in Lula Vollmers play of southern mountaineer white trash, Sun-Up (see front cover), Mrs. Norris was worried because the role required a series of hearty pulls on a corncob pipe. She had never smoked in her life, thought herself at 54 too old to begin. But her stage director was adamant. So, experimenting first with cubebs, later with cubeb tobacco stuffed into the bowl...
