ANNUAL MEETING 0L\ 



Mr. Elliot: I move this communication from Mrs. Morri-son 

 be referred to the executive committee to take action at some 

 future time. We do not want to say now that wie will meet

 to disappoint us and prevent us from accepting the invitation, 

 and I think for that reason it had better be referred to the ex-

Pres. Underwood: We have a few questions in the question 

 box which we will take up at this time. (See index.)
