CAPT. STRACHAN IS
HERE FOUWHILE
Well Known Brunswickian
Came in Yesterday on Yacht
“Dixie” and is Warmly Greet
ed by His Many Friends.
Capt. F. <D. M. Strachan. Brunswick
ian, with a handsome home also at
Oyster Bay, N. Y„ came In yesterday
on his yacht “Dixie,” and his many
friends were delighted. H came down
the coast in leisure fashion, hunting
and Ashing on the way, bagging many 1
ducks aitd catching a goodly number
Of the finny tribe. as he always does.
But his best fishing was on his “old
grounds” near Brunswick, where he
“laid over” for a few hours.
None of the members of th& family
came on the trip. Mrs. Strachan re
mained at Oyster Bay, Miss Mary is
in college and Duncan is pursuing his
studies at Princeton. While these
will be missed, friends of Capt.
Strachan are glad to welcome him
“home” again.
While not desiring to “talk chop,"
The News reporter asked Capt.
Strachan for his opinion of business
affairs, cognizant of the fact that he
has been at the real headquarters of
America's commercial center —New
York. l|e says that as soon as there
is anything like a stable' exchange
try, as well as that of afi Europe.' Is'
bound to return to its old status.
Capt. Strachan points out the fact
that under the present state of af
fairs, America has most of the money
in the world and a very large percen
tage of the very stable products that
the rest of the world Wants, but, as
long as no credits are extended to
Europe and as long as there is such a
lack of stability in al! foreign ex
change. just so long will there be a
failure on the part of business to re
turn to its normally healthy condition.
It will be a source of Interest and
pleasure to learn that Capt. Strachan
will probably remain in Brunswick for
an indefinite period, his various In
terests here calling for bis presence.
