^' Changes in Staff 



On August 31, 1926 the Department suffered a loss because of the resig- 

 nation of Willard A. Munson, Director of the Division of Markets, to 

 accept the position of Director of Extension Service at the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College. Mr. Munson accomplished some very out- 

 standing pieces of work and made many friends while associated with 

 the Department. He is generally recognized as the outstanding marketing 

 specialist in the East, and we are very gratified to know that he is to 

 remain in Massachusetts and continue his work in a definite field here. 



Frederick V. Waugh succeeded Mr. Munson on September 1, 1926. 

 Mr. Waugh is a graduate of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. He 

 was assistant marketing specialist of the State of New Jersey and later 

 joined the experiment staff of the Connecticut Agricultural College in the 

 same capacity. He has pursued graduate work at Harvard and Columbia 

 Universities and is well fitted to carry on the work so well directed by 

 Mr. Munson. 



John W. Plaisted resigned on April 10, 1926, to accept a position with 

 a well known law office in Boston. While in the Department, Mr. Plaisted 

 made a good name for himself in straightening out some of the difficul- 

 ties in the administration of the Massachusetts law, with particular re- 

 spect to certain amendments which clarify important points in the ad- 

 ministration of the statutes. 



Daniel J. Curran succeeded Mr. Plaisted on October 1, 1926. Mr. Cur- 

 ran is a graduate of the Massachusetts Agricultural College and of Suf- 

 folk Law School. His training and experience are admirably adapted to 

 the position to which he has been appointed.
