 Fraley arose and said : 



The hour of adjournment has now arrived. I congratu-

 when those who are to come after us celebrate 1943 and 

 1980, they will have as good a dinner as we have had, and, 

 excepting what I have said myself, as good speeches as those 

 to which we have listened. 



Adjourned.
