"It is not square acres that make a great
country, but square men."

It is a rare occasion when the Greenkeepers
can boast of playing an 18 hole round of golf in
two states. That was the situation at the Haverhill Country Club during our last meeting, July 9.
The layout of this course extends into New Hampshire as well as Massachusetts. The only difference noted was that the woods seemed to be
denser and golf balls disappeared quicker in New
Hampshire. (No Henry Long exasperators were
observed over the border.) Everyone agreed that
Howard Hills had the entire course in excellent
condition—Fairways—Greens—Rough tip-top.
This Greenkeeper-Chairman meeting was
well attended. Eighty sat down to an excellent
luncheon. Enthusiasm ran high and every one
was especially congenial. The weather was perfect too. So this meeting goes down in the books
as another one of the many successful summer
gatherings. At the brief business meeting the
following were voted in: Roger Wallace, Cochecko
C.C., Dover, N. H.; V. Lewis Payson, Nehoiden
G.C., Wellesley College, Wellesley, Mass.; William
D. Mahoney, Milton Hoosic G.C., Canton, Mass.;
Francis Meehan, Mt. Hood G.C., Melrose, Mass.

The equipment demonstration started on
schedule and was sponsored by: The Clapper Co.,
Sawtelle Bros, and Chet Baldwin (Jos. Breck).
Probably the feature was the demonstration of
the tractor drawn, power take-off Whirl-Wind

Mower, with rock blasting ability, courtesy of
Clapper Co. Chet Baldwin demonstrated the Proportioner Sprayer, and Sawtelle Bros, had on display small golf course equipment. As we have
said before, the Greenkeepers appreciate these
equipment displays and are mindful of the fact
that it requires time and expense to present them
at the various meetings.
Golden Anniversary. It is always a pleasure
and an honor to recognize a 50th anniversary. The
Highland Country Club, Attleboro, Mass., where
the Greenkeepers Club has had many enjoyable
meetings, last month celebrated such an event. A
noteworthy booklet covering the club's history
and celebration program made interesting reading.
Our old timer, the full-of-pep, Elmer Fuller, for
31 years the greenkeeper at the club, was prominently displayed and highly commended.

Day at Kingston, R. I., Wednesday, August 22.
