was peaceably reading the Sunday
paper when he noticed that a
school mate of his was married
.June 2. There’s nothing unusual
about that fact. The unusual thing
about the announcement was that
he married Myrna Loy, the motion
picture actress. It was like this:
Arnold was president of the sen
ior class of New Bedford High
school in 1928. Howland Sargeant
was vice-president and valedictor
ian. In the 1928 annual of New
Bedford High school it states that
as president Arnold was the best
liked and most prominent boy in
his class. Also that he was pop
ular with the opposite sex. The
annual states that Howland was
the most active valedictorian they
had had in years. Needless to say,
Arnold and Howland were very
good friends. Then their paths
separated. You all know about
Arnold. Howland went to Dart
mouth college and was graduated
with honors. He was appointed a
Rhodes Scholar. Today, Howland
is deputy assistant secretary of
state for public affairs. He plans
to leave for Paris Thursday
where he will be chairman of the
U. S. delegation at a meeting of
UNESCO. And so—he and Myrna
Loy were married. Miss Loy is a
member of the U. S. national com
mission for UNESCO. Both How
land and Miss Loy have been
married and divorced. But back
to Arnold — Kenneth Packard,
brother-in-law of Howland, visit
ed the Powells last fall at their
home in Grovemont. Arnold is
thinking of renewing his friend
ship with Howland, now that he
has Hollywood connections.

He's grown—fast!
Pearl Harbor—1941. Korea—1951. Only ten
years. But in that time the Bell System’s capacity
to serve the Nation has literally doubled!
And the Long Distance telephone network
which ties America together has grown even more.
In 1941, there was very little coaxial cable in use.
Radio relay was still in an experimental stage. Yet
today there are 8000 miles of coaxial cable in
service—plus thousands of miles of radio relay.
And Long Distance telephone circuits have in
creased in ten years from about 4,800,000 miles
to 20,800,000.
In times like these, telephone lines are defense
lines. For they are helping America rush its big
production program. It’s fortunate this nation-wide
network has grown so big, so fast.
SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE
AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY
To help speed your
Long Distance call,
please give the operator the
out-of-town telephone
number. Telephone lines
are busy with national
defense.
