Township 20, Me., northernmost in the United States has houses standing hali in Canada and thalf in the United States, Lan CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER Thanksgiving was no “‘cole tur- key” day although it didn’t seem like a holiday until sundown when I went to the Eugene Gray’s for dinner. He’s the man who looks as if he- might have modeled for Esky, and who, I learned has been wanting to meet the couker-upper of Conch Chowder for over a year since he and his wife Marty have been fans of the columr for a long time. Marty has a burnished red- gold cap of hair and a wonderful memory for all the songs popular in late ’20’s and ’30’s. She even sang all of the words to “Baby, Won’t You Please Come Home?”, ‘a. number that Duke Ellington wrote .20 years ago. It ought to have.a revival . . . it has what it takes for today’s music, too. Other guests were moved by the spirit, too, and everyone got into the act, including Julie Melville, like a Vogue model and Leila God- frey, who surprised“us with a*cake- walk. Vi Veidt was ‘wearing “a slim, black, toreador lounge suit, but instead of lounging, she popped into the kitchen and helped fix the buffet table loaded with turkey, of course; creamed onions, cran- berry jelly, juicy yams, stuffing and other goodies, Artist Strong used the strong arm to carry in loads of wood and started a fire on the hearth. We all sat around eating by firelight, and there’s nothing like a fireplace and fine food and good talk for stimulation of the holiday mood. It was one of the most delightful evenings I’ve had. Even the Gray’s Siamese cat came in for a Thanksgiving greeting. The Grays’ said‘they were so moved by the lonely dog story that they wanted to go out and get the poodle described . , . but I think Jeanne and Ski Skewis my neighbors were already ‘after the sad homeless pup. Jeanne came in while I was dressing for dinner breathless and wanted to know how to get the dog. I hope all the dogs have found owners by now. Jaxon tells me that the festive tradition of Turkey Day was on her calendar, too, with Bob im- merman as co-host and Jimmy and Joan Durrell as special guests. Durrell is a British flier and he says when he and his wife get back to England they are going to start Thanksgivirig customs over there. Cathy, Bob’s daughter and Gail, Jaxon’s daughter were the youngest guests .. . unless Reilly, the Red Persian and Sheba, the Alsatian dog can be’ counted as member of the younger generation present. The Durrells’ liked the Players’ production of “John Loves Mary,” which was part of the Thanksgiving program, but they weren’t exactly sure what accent the Cockney” girl was using. That's what they call putting a little English on the shot. Thanksgiving Eve ship’: party at Casa Cayo Hueso turned out to be the nearest thing to a Cecil B. DeMille mob‘ scene anyone has ever seen around here. Hundreds of sailors milled out on the lawn and through the interior. I must say somebody had a sense of hu-| 5 mor . . . those black footmarks going up ‘the side of a wall were funny . . . but the shattered mir- ros, the “melee, and some of the other sher;.anigans were. costly. Mr. and Mrs. Lastres, the Bob Youmans, Bob Ellis, et al, were sitting quietly talking about Maida Lazarovici’s story of what the Crown Princess Martha of Nar- way had eaten for dinner the night before (they dined royally, of course), when I was summoned to the phone by Julian Volushin.

Wells, USN, attached to the U. S. Naval Hospital, re- cently received a permanent ap- Pointment as Ensign in the Medi- cal Service Corps, U. S. Navy.
