Kenry C. Corson spoke of the days when the rubber industry 

 was young, recalling older meetings, in a delightfully reminiscent 

 manner. Since retiring from the rubber business "to make room 

 for the younger generation," he has found that the philosopher's 

 stone for keeping young is to be interested in helping others. 



H. E. Raymond was eloquent, as 



a always, and said that he was one 

 of the younger generation alluded 

 to by the previous .speaker, and 

 next year he would retire, like Mr. 

 Corson, to make room for the 

 younger generation.
