LOCAL SOCIETIES 



NEWPORT BRANCH 



The Newport Branch of tlie N. A. G. held 

 a meeting December 7. at which Andrew L. 

 Dorward was re-elected Chairman, and 

 Frederic Carter, Secretary tor the coming 

 year. It was also voted that future meetings 

 be held at the call of the chairman. 



William Gray gave a very interesting ac- 

 count of his visit to the annual convention 

 and of the very enjoyable time he had. The 

 annual report was discussed at some length, 

 some valuable suggestions being offered 

 which are to come up for further discus- 

 sion at a future meeting. 



The Newport Branch feels very encour- 

 aged by the organizing of a local branch in 

 Nassau County, also of the proposed one 

 in Boston, and it feels sure others will soon 

 follow. The local branches are going to 

 be the backbone of the association when 

 enough are organized to do effective busi- 

 ness, and when the members will take the 

 work of the association more seriously than 

 some do at the present time. We feel the 

 association is making more and more prog- 

 ress every year, and that 1922 will show still 

 more the spirit of co-operation and progres- 

 sivcness is the New Year wish of the New- 

 port Branch. 



Frederic Carter, Sec'y.
