clubs composing the membership of the association. 



The advertising committee named by President Horne 

 will also function in the organization of the inspection 

 bureau and the expenses of the bureau will be defrayed 

 out of the one-tenth of one per cent assessment on cut. 

 This was intrusted to one committee with a view^ to sim- 

 plifying the financing of the work. 



Mr. Worland and Mr. Heming- 

 way served on the committee w^ith 

 Mr. Allen. 



In putting the question of the in- 

 spection and grading bureau before 

 the convention directly after the de- 

 livery of President Anderson's an- 

 nual address at the Tuesday morn- 

 ing session, Mr. Allen said that there 

 was now greater need than ever be- 

 fore that machinery be set up where- 

 by when a buyer says material de- 

 livered to him on an order is not up 

 to grade, the claim may be decided 

 upon its merits, without the seller 

 having to give way unjustly, as he 

 may often be called upon to do in 

 these times. He recommended the 

 selection of a committee of three to 

 consider and report on his proposal. 

 This committee, he said, should rep- 

 resent the North, South and figured woods. These recom- 

 mendations were adopted by the convention and carried 

 out by President Anderson in the selection of the com- 

 mittee. 



The report of the nominating committee, comprised of 

 Mr. Sale, Mr. Allen and D. E. Kline of the Louisville 

 Veneer Mills, Louisville, Ky., was made at the conclusion

In his annual address. President 

 Anderson, at the opening of the con- 

 vention, struck a keynote of opti- 

 mism. He refused to be awed by 

 the present slump in business and 

 considered the cheerful prospect of 

 the great potential demand for 

 American homes, the meeting of 

 which, he said, was bound to make 

 heavy demands for veneers for in- 

 terior trim and furniture. A million 

 , new homes are needed in the coun- 

 try, he said. 



Mr. Anderson said that the era of extravagant prices 

 and profits had passed, being replaced by an era of low 

 prices and small profits. He said that it was to the ad- 

 vantage of all concerned to have a condition such as com- 

 pels careful production processes, and a market affording 

 fair prices and fair profits.
