Dear Phog: | Taft Talbot has asked us to try and find some of those lastex hose for you, such as were made by the Bike Webb Manufacturing Company several years ago. We have been corresponding with the factory on this and they advise us that the hose did not prove a successful seller. They discontinued its man- ufacture and our representative has endeavored to obtain them from another source in the East without any results. T,erefore, Phog, I guess that we can't quote you on that type hose, as they are not made any longer. Sorry we can't help you in this instance.

University of Kansas Dear Phog: Please let me add my humble and insignificant word of thanks and praise for your perfectly grand job as teast master at the dinner last Friday evening. When we chose you for the job I had in mind that somewhere along the line we would have attention focused on your department as a unit in the School of Education. When Dr. Schwegler asked for a time to make the announce- ment about new things in the School of Education I thought he would include that. I was therefore surprised and disappointed that nowhere along the line was the point specifically brought out. Ne doubt your presence would naturally call attention to the fact, but I am sorry that the department of physical education was net specifically mentioned and explained. I will see to that definitely next time. Here's a K.

I vpeferred only to the Lows & Camp- bell catalog because your catalog does not list these items, as Taft explained to me yesterday. The et balls have not arrived, but as soon as they do I will return thom, I will be happy to know regarding the differential in price.

Allen Haemwold Cottage Culver, Ind anae Dear Fog, Hear is a letter which ybu need not put in your official files. You have heard of Bill McKinley of Southwest H.S-. and whom we are rushing. Bill they tell me is a basket wall players There seems to be some question about Bills finances and so we would like to get him a job of some kind with the athletic department. If I can give him me encouragement in this respect think it will secure a good boy for Phi Psi'ec It will also pull Bill Hogben whom you have also probably heard of. These boys are very close friends and will want to do the same thing. Please let me know what can be done in this line’ I will be very careful not to quote you or make any promises. I simply want to be able to tell these poys what I think I can do for them with a réasonable degree of certainty. I just taled to Lawrence to get your address and was advised that you would soon be going to Spirit Ike. If you do this you will probably go through Mason City Iowa where Charlie Strickland is and also my boy’. Be sure to look them up. Charlie is Pres’. of the Peoples Gas & Electric Coe there as well as several other concerns and is quite the big shot. Please let me hear from you. Very truly yours,
