SUPERVISORS, LET'S GO TO KANSAS CITY 



President Thompson puts out the call: "Come on 

 Supervisors and your wives, let's go to Kansas City. 

 The National Association Convention is only a month 

 away, February 2-6. I am sure we would have a 

 good time and also return with a better knowledge 

 of Conservation. " 



We need more information. All people who are 

 interested in taking the bus to Kansas City, we need 

 your reservations by January 15th. 



If we could get twenty eight peole to go, the round 

 trip would cost about $50.00 per person with just 

 one night lay over. So send me your reservation,
