YOUR ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT SEZ: 



In the middle of the summer work is a poor time to 

 have to think about making plans for October and 

 November meetings, but nevertheless if we are to 

 have successful fall meetings, we must start now 

 to formulate programs and make plans to attend. 



The agenda for the Area meetings have all been 

 worked out and plans are going along to carry 

 out the various assignments. All we need now to 

 have good meetings is good attendance and new 

 ideas. 



Plans for the State meeting at Lewistown are pro- 

 gressing in good shape. Most of the program has 

 been worked out and all but a few of the last 

 minute details have been taken care of. 



In election ytars such as this it is most important 

 that we take interest in our candidates and the 

 issues. Your Association will have an active part 

 in a good many issues this year and it is important 

 that you keep informed and also try to elect those 

 candidates who will support us in our Conservation 

 effort.
