This has been the month of rains, earthquakes, fires and leisure hot days beside the pool. Many dinner menus, many party guest lists have been communalized in these pleasing surroundings. One such party took place on the 14th when the staff officers of Army Section, MAAG were hosts at a reception for Maj. Gen. and Mrs. George Smythe. The small but distinguished group of guests enjoyed tasty canapes and cocktails at the side of the pool in the cool of the early evening.

The new air-conditioned room at the Grand Hotel was the scene of another nice party on Sunday the 19th. Lt Col. and Mrs. Oliver Shantz, Attache Office, were hosts at a reception to introduce Col. and Mrs. David O. Schorr, the newly arrived army attache. The guest list read like a "Who's Who" in Taipei. Among the American guests were Mr. Rankin, Gen, and Mrs. Smythe, Admiral and Mrs. Pride, Gen. Chase, Gen. Grant, Gen. and Mrs. Davis, Mr. Cochran, Mr. Brent, Mr. Dugin, and Mrs. de Beauseet. The Schorrs are veterans of many overseas tours and are finding old friends here in Formosa.

On Thursday, the 23rd, the chief of staff and the officers of the general staff of MAAG will be hosts at a reception and buffet dinner at the Officer's Club. The hosts will be Capt. Burden, Col. Locklin, Col. Walton, Col. Nolan, Col. Miller, Col. Barns, Col. McFeeley, Lt. Col. Shealy and Lt. Col. Barras. The even promises to be a gala one.

The Taipei Government Guest House will bustle with orderly excitement on Sunday, the 26th, when Mr. Yu Ta wei, Free China's Minister of Nat'l Defense, and General Peng-Meng-Chi, Chief of the General Staff will officiate at a farewell reception in honor of Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Chase. This lovely affair is doomed to be a sad one. All Free China joins MAAG advisors in wishing Gen. Chase much happiness in his well earned retire his ment.

A Visitor's Bureau has been organized under the direction of Capt. Martin to arrange for the visits of the many important observers to Formosa. Capt Martine hopes to better accommodate these very important persons and to make it possible for them to see as much as they would like during their stay.

Col. Burns and his G.4'ers have moved into new offices in the MAAG building. And Col. Shealy, Comptroller is "rattling" around in new offices in MND.

In a dispensary ward, Mrs. Smart and Mrs. Larned learned they now have something in common. Both are recovering nicely from the same operation, performed a few days apart. Early in the month Mrs. Walton returned from Tokyo, cured by minor surgery and Mrs. Heck is sporting an Okinawa-cured ear. Wonder what became of the stork this month?

Capt. and Mrs. Tony Kavka initiated the opening of the extension on the Club by entertaining their friends with a "chicken in the basket" supper. Mrs. Kavka regretted that weather conditions prevented a more rural outside atmosphere for the occasion, but what could be nicer than to christen a new hall?

Thought we had ceased to be curios that we were old timers in Taipei, until the day after the Tamsui. Wonder how you say "Not an aborigine tatoo-just a sunburn!"
