William Russell ("Buster") Lewis, genial 63-year old
host and assistant manager of the Nassau Tavern, who on
New Year's Eve completes his second three-year term as
a Republican member of tlie Borough Council and once
again becomes a private citizen living his life in public.
President of the Council in 1943, and known for his deep
interest in the activities of the Borough's welfare agencies,
"Buster," better than any other living Princetonian, person-
ifies in the 20th century the traditions of hospitality and
service that first brought recognition to Princeton when
this once sleepy hamlet was t/je place "to rest your shins"
between New York and Philadelphia.
"Buster," a native of Hopewell, N. J., and a grad-
uate of the Moses Brown School, Providence, R. I.,
launched his Princeton career in 1905 as a clerk in the
"Old Nass," the rambling old building that served as a
hotel continuously from 1769 until it was razed in 1937
to make way for Palmer Square. For the last 12 years of
the "Old Nass's" existence, he was its sole proprietor and
achieved a degree of popularity that rustled mellow mem-
ories of John Jolioe and "his high stately hall," immor-
talized by Washington Irving in the "Lay of the Scottish
Fiddler."
Where Joline's establishment in the early 19th century
was off-limits to thirsty undergraduates attending the Col-
lege of New Jersey, the "Nass" of the J. B. Renwick-
Louis Vogel-"Buster" era was one of the teeming centers
of student life. The last formal college functions con-
nected with the "Nass" died with the "birth of Prohibi-
tion, but "Buster" continued to grow as a Princeton insti-
tution. He supervised the University's athletic training
tables for some two decades and forged link after link in
an endless chain of friendships.
"Buster" possesses one of this community's remarkable
memories and enjoys startling sedate University alumni
with anecdotes about their "salad days." As enthusiastic
about his work today as he was 4l years ago, "Buster," if
pressed, will single out tlie two men he remembers most
vividly in his long associations with thousands of Prince-
tonians. One was the late Keene Fitzpatrick, "the grand
old man of Princeton athletics who, forgot more than I
will ever know," and Frederic Tremaine ("Josh") Bill-
ings, the "born leader" of the 1931 football team that
failed to win a single game.
For his fatherly understanding of the frequently in-
explicable behavior of college students; for his ability to
prevent genuine hospitality from degenerating into pro-
fuseness; for his constant endeavors to cement Town and
Gown relationships with mutual appreciation and respect;
he is Town Topics' candidate for

Forecast for '47. The second full
post-war year -wiW bring many an in-
teresting development to teeming Prince-
ton, N. J. Some of them, no human
mind can foretell, until the Weather
Man dips into his stock of blizzards and
cloudbursts, and Lady Luck apportions
her aimual allotment of smiles and
frowns upon the comnumity.
But other events can be gauged as
their silhouettes appear on the horizon,
not in very specific fashion but suffici-
ently to point a trend. For example,
the direction of the tax rates seems to
be up. Borough employees have alread>'
asked for a 15 percent increase in pay.
Both borough and township boards of
education, whose members determine a
third of the tax levy for their munici-
palities, must consider salary increases
for their personnel t-o meet rising costs
of living.
New rateables, delayed by the ma-
terials shortage, will not appear on the
tax map fast enough to meet the need
for more funds, although Stanworth and
other smaller developments will be of
some help. Relatively few individual
homes have become tenable during 1946.
In the political field, activity may
reach an all-time peak, with the Repub-
licans supplying most of the firework.^
and a bang-up mayoralty race a virtual
certainty for next November. Before
that, there seems to be some likelihocd
of a G.O.P. primary contest.
As 1947 nears, rumors are numerous;
that Councilmen James L. Briner and
George F. Karch, whose terms expire
this coming year, will not seek re-
election; that former mayor Charles K.
Erdman, Jr. will toss liis hat in the

ring again, as Mayor Morgan's term
runs out; that Bertrand L. Gulick, Jr.,
former freeholder and chairman of the
township committee, will run i'or ofl^ice
again on the latter body.
With any combination of these de-
vol.opments a job for G.O.P. leaders to
direct, the Democrats will seek to hold
the coalition vote that swept their 1945
ticket into office. Since the Republican
.split in the primaries that yea:- played
a sizaible part in the eventual result,
Princeton Democrats' greatest chance to
buck the national tide still flowing to-
ward Republican shores may be meas-
ured by the degree of unity within the
G. O. P. locally.

remain high. Today, institutions and

â– ^ The study of medicine is a selective process
in itself. Seven years of intensive study in col-
lege, plus one year of practice in a hospital,
are the minimum requirements. It is wise to
trust your precious health only to a conscien-
tious physician of recognized standing. Avoid
the quack, the charlatan, the "cure all" type of doctor.
Almost invariably they do more harm than good. Select
your physician as you should your pharmacist— with care
and confidence.
When your physician writes a prescription, bring it to
us to be filled. Wc are specialists at this work.

(â– ]lllllllllllllllillllllllllllllll>l"lllllllllllltllllltlllllllllllllllll*llllr|lj
This week we feel the time has come
To give a breathing spell
To shops and feet and pocketbooks
And to ourself as well.
We told our bosses lenient
We'd fill this space instead
With anything as long as it
Could be composed in bed.
So as — and if — you road and think,
"Why can't she stick to prose?"
Just bear in mind how thoroughly
"It's New to Us" still goes.
If we accomplish nothing else,
We hope to make it clear
What fun we've had with shops and
shoppers
Throughout this recent year.
From praise of "literary style"
(Which now won't come again!),
We've hit a bit lof everything
Ee'n to' one "Poison Pen."
From just one stark "don't bother me"
Tio thanks and open arms.
Which, plus those helpful tips phoned in,
For us have special charms.
Our wanderings have proved to us
Also, we hope, to you:
Whoever wants to hit New York
And needs a reason to
Can't make a shopping trip excuse,
For Princeton is replete
From Palmer Square to Witherspoon,
Chambers, and Nassau Street.
By now we wish we'd just agreed
To write our usual stuff,
But one more thought is on our mind
(With that we'll say "enough.")
A happy shopping year we wish
To each and every one.
The wherewithal to do it with.
The health to make it fun.

individuals alike are as eager as ever
to launch long-planned projects and
their is no immediate indication of a
change in their attitude.
School enrolments will remain at a
peak, with record war-time birthrates,
continuing grants under the G.I. Bill
and incoming population all packing the
classrooms. The University, for exam-
ple, will see its record total of 3,465 go
some 300 higher next Fall. Its new
gymnasium is scheduled for completion
in June, its library by Christmas.
For Princeton, N. J., '47 will be more

Big Briton. The public lecture- in the
Ninth Bicentennial Conference at Prince-
ton University will be delivered Friday,
January 3, at 8:30 p.m. in Frick Audi-
torium. The sipeaker vdll be the English
philosopher, author and communist, Dr.
J. B. S. Haldane.
In popular, non-technical style, Dr.
Haldane will speak on "Human Evolu-
tion, Past and Future." The conference
title, "Genetics, Paleontology and Evolu-
tion" should not scare laymen away:
odds are all that Dr. Haldane's lecture
will not only be understandable but
thoroughly enjoyable and amusing.
Like Ponce de Leon, who oame to
these shores searching the fountain of
youth. Dr. Haldane, too, had a quest.
So urgent was his search for 18% -inch
shirts that he told ship reporters, "As
far as I am concerned, American civili-
zation is on trial."
Day after his comment appeared, the
nation had met the test. Two shirts
with 18% -inch collars are on their way
to him in care of the conference di-
rector. Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen.
Miscellany. Mayor Morgan's annual
address Wednesday may carry a rec-
ommendation for a rairly radical re-
vision of Borough governing policies . . .

Study will take effect October 16, 1947

The Playhouse
My Darling Clementine (Fri., Sat.)
provides action and Technicolor aplenty
to hold the interest, a story of Arizona
outlaws furnishing the basis for the
plot. Henry Fonda heads a good cast
in a film that has already made one
ten-best-of-the-year list.
The Time, the Place and the Girl
(Sun. thru Wed.) is a routine musical
with an unimaginative story and a few
good songs and dances. With Jack
Carson, Dennis Morgan, Martha Vickers.
In color.
Gallant Bess (Thurs., Fri., Sat.)
stars a horse in a typical tale of man's
love for an animal. A yotmg boy in-
ducted as a Seabee loses liis favorite
thoroughbred but finds another deep in
a Pacific jungle, a story that provides
for both melodrama and pathos. Good
for children and those who don't mind
their films saccharine sweet.
The Garden
The Verdict (Fri., Sat.) puts Peter
Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet through
their paces in a Scotland Yard mystery.
The action is uneven, the film about
average.
The Notorious Gentleman (Mon.,
Tues., Wed.) retitled from the British
picture, "The Rake's Progress," is a
frequently amusing piece about a ne'er-
do-well who finds nothing serious about
life. One delightful scrape after an-
other proves, on the other hand, that
British humor can often be taken seri-
ously. Rex Harrison heads the oast.
The Plainsman and the Lady (Thurs.,
Fri., Sat.) is a new saga 'of the west
starring William Elliott and Vera Ral-
ston. The usual fare, which many a
Princetonian has shown he enjoys hugely.

P. C. D. — Puck Chasers' Domain. Al-
ready strong in its reputation as a cra-
dle of good hockey players, the Prince-
ton Country Day School this Winter can
point to a record probably unequalled
in the annals of major sports history at
Princeton University: of the 22-man
hockey squad currently working out un-
der Coach Dick Vaughan at Lake Pla-
cid, exactly half are alumni of P.C.D.
For two decades of the school's 23
years, hockey has been the winter
sport, with Baker Rink furnishing the
ice before it became a temporary gym-
nasium, Lake Carnegie making do there-
after. Country Day players have dotted
Tiger sextets in several seasons past,
the brightest being the 1940-41 cam-
paign which saw the Pentagonal League
title captured by the Orange and Black.
George Young captained that team,
which included the still indistinguish-
able Sloane twins. Bill & Jim, Harry
Turner and Don Young, all P.C.D.
luminaries.
-December 29, 1946-Janaary 4, 1947-
But if Vaughan's first team in four
seasons goes anywhere at all, much of
the credit will be due to the 11 former
P.C.D. skaters. Of their number, Henry
Baker, nephew of the, immortal Hobey
Baker, who still ranks at the head of
all collegiate hockey players, is not 'only
best known but one of the best. Cap-
tain at hockey -minded St. Paul's for two
years before the war, he's the son of
A. Thornton Baker and Mrs. Arthur W.
Jarvis.
Without home ice unless the Dean
Mathey's pond (which generally beats
Lake Carnegie) freezes over, the cur-
rent Princeton hockey team is working
toward an eight-game schedule under
severe handicaps. It had three practice
sessions at a Philadelphia rink, will look
far & wide for possible locations after
the vacation trip to Placid and games
with Clarkson Tech are in the record
book.
