These are supplements containing, pictures. and. short biographies of business, cultural and social leaders. Some time ago special questionnaire for, this purpose was sent to Webster with the request that he fill out the blank spaces.

Behind the question, "Your first Job," Webster wrote dryly: "Unloading coal." Subsequent jobs: "Unloading more coal." Present occupation: "Sill at it." Education: "Some." Hobby: "Making out 'Who's Who' blanks." Other than applying a more serious pen to several olher questions relaling to family and church affilialion matters, Webster was content to let the inquiry go al that. This particular questionnaire, however, also contains the pencilings from another hand that of our former associate editor, Enoch A. Norem. It was for Norem lo supply from memory the pertinent data: That Webster headed a lumber and coal company, was educated at Shatluck Academy and the University of Minnesota, was in many civic organizations (duly listed) and a myriad of hobbies such as "reading" and "collecting maps and books dealing with Arctic and Antarctic explorations."

His favorite expression is, "I know all about it--I read it in the paper," when the wife or a friend makes an offhand remark about something or other. Cantwell prohably never heard of that particular bit of news, but it's just his way of maintaining oncupmanship. The other night, however, Bob was a guest at a party at the Bill Eglis.

The house is new, the basement floor slick and he was wearing a new pair of brogans. Bob's literally, was a impersonalion. He wound up on the floor, bowling over the Christmas tree.
