There Dorothy Anne, 10-year-old daughter of Cook House & Dormitory Supervisor Henry Hobson, recently launched a one-sheet, the mimeographed Valsetz Star, which carries community intelligence to the families of 200 burly mill hands and loggers.

A star baseball player at Harvard at 20, a bank president at 26; a peanut peddler on Boston excursion boats at 9, a cinemagnate at 36; a pool operator in liquor stocks at 45, chairman of SEC at 46, Joe Kennedy at 49 is a chameleon.
