. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. Mass. Cranberry Station and Field Notes by CHESTER E. CROSS Director Mr. Marcus L. Uraiin died on the evening of April 3 in his 90tih year. As he had wished it, his passing was sudden and unexpected, and it came at the end of a busy day.

Suc-h men continue to live in the hearts of those who knew them well, exerting influence by their past actions on the decisions of those who carry on. I recall a characteristic event of M. L. Urann on the occasion of the devasting hurricane of 1938.
