Mr. Barnard: I wish to place in nomination for Second Vice-Presi-

 have had two terms. The fruit men do not claim Father Harrison as a 

 fruit man and the florists do not claim him as a florist, and the idea 

 is to run the presidency between the fruit men and the florists. I wish 

 TO place in nomination Mr. Ed Williams as Second Vice-President, and 

 71 that way to keep the 'men in line for the presidency so they will 

 have some training. Seconded by Mr. Yager.
