FRANK THOMPSON 



Your Association President Sez: Congrat- 

 ulations to the districts in the state for filing 

 their notices with the County Clerks before 

 the deadline, I am pleased to receive such 

 wonderfulcooperation. 



If we will all get our budgets in to the 

 County Commissioners before July 1, we 

 will have 100% batting average. 



This new help to our finances is just one 

 more tool we can use to plan and execute a 

 better district program. 



The wise use of our natural resources 

 becomes more important with every passing 

 day. Our natural resources are basic to 

 everything we require to live and the pros- 

 perity and welfare of our Country depend 

 on them. Those countries where their natu- 

 ral resources have been destroyed or not 

 taken care of are for the most part destitute 

 or starving.
