NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART III 127 



tions to fairs and accurate accountings. Help the officers of tliis organiza- 

 tion in every way possible. It's to your interest. Tell those in your 

 vicinity of the advantages of a get-together meeting. Be a missionary. 

 A little effort on the part of each may have an untold effect. 



In conclusion I wish to thank you for the courtesy extended to me 

 in selecting me for your secretary for the past few years. I have tried 

 to carry out my part of the work as best I could. I feel as though I had 

 done my part. I am confident the fairs have been benefitted by legislative 

 acts and other efforts of the organization. Your program this year is bet- 

 ter, I believe, because of better assistance, both financial and moral. I 

 will do all I can in the future to create and promote interest in getting 

 out the pamphlet mentioned before, but I am asking that before you get 

 to the part where you select your officers, you give my resignation (which 

 I am offering at this time) some thought, objective to a new man for 

 secretary. 



The Chairman: Gentlemen, you have heard the reading of the 

 minutes. Are there any corrections or objections to the same? If not, 

 they will stand approved. 



The next will be the reading of the treasurer's report.
