Pastor Hall began his telephone ministry when someone dialed him by mistake. It has been spread by: 1) word-of-mouth recommendation; 2) practical jokers who leave messages for their friends to call his number. Even the latter sometimes get so interested that when the operator asks for another nickel, they put it in. For those others who get mad and tell him to go to the devil, Pastor Hall has a ready reply: "I can't go with you, I'm going the other...
...newspapers slanting their editorial policy for the gang are the Nichi Nichi and the Kokumin, the latter edited by a Johns Hopkins University graduate, Hitoshi Tanaka. I've known him a decade.

...Hatter of Alice's Wonderland had nothing on Ed Wagenfeld of Local 45 of the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers International Union. But this latter day hatter, who divides his time between Adams House and Littauer as one of the fellows under Harvard's Trade Union plan, isn't eccentric like Lewis Carroll's haberdasher. He's just peeved; peeved at "hatless Harvard." Hats are bread and butter to Mr. Wagenfeld. Harvard men care very much for bread and butter; very little for hats...
