...apparent if that seemed more desirable. Able, ambitious executive that he is, he could be counted on in either case to do a good job for aged pensioners, youthful school-reliefers, CCC, public health, employment service and the Office of Education. On condition that his friends be allowed to keep on booming him, radiant Mr. McNutt accepted. Proclaimed he: I am appreciative of the tremendous responsibility of administering such a program.

S. price (50? to $1.75 a ton) on three important grades...
Last week Lang Williams and "Jock" Whitney decided the time had come to bring another youngster into the business, to keep it in step with present-day social trends. They announced an old friend of Lang Williams' as a new director of Freeport Sulphyr: husky, 38-year-old Alan Valentine (onetime Swarthmore footballer and Phi Beta Kappa), now president of wealthy, Eastman-endowed University of Rochester.
