Surprises never cease in New York. We were pleased last Sunday to see Rowland and Clara (Orton) Corry and young son Larry in Westchester Branch's Sunday School. It seems that the Corrys have come to New York to make their home. Former residents of Berkeley, Calif., they have been fortunate enough to find an apartment in Fleetwood, New York. Rowland is with Aramco (Arabian American Oil Company.)
John and Eva Christensen, of Ossining, New York, with their four children, left by auto on Saturday for Provo, Utah. Eva and the children will spend the summer in Provo.

And speaking of very small fry, I was just about to slip this into the mail when I learned the good news that Bill and Jean Little are the proud parents of a baby girl. Young Monty joins in the happiness, for a baby sister is just what he ordered.
