years she has been my secretary and has 

 devoted long days to persistent, untiring, 



efficient work, without a cent of rcmu- 

 Eieration. I have also been greatly aided 

 by Mrs. Bigelow who, notwithstanding 

 the cares of a household, has devoted all 



her .spare time to much of the bookkeep- 

 ing proof-reading and other matters per- 

 taining to all Chapters and memberships. 

 Both have also assisted financially in 

 loans to the AA as shown by the accom- 

 panying statement. So long as 1 am 

 President, we desire to follow the ex- 

 ample of our honored predecessor, Mr. 

 Harland H. Ballard, who for more than 

 a third of a century served without re- 

 muneration. The joy of doing is suffi- 

 cient. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Edward F. Bigelow.
