This is the Second Annual Hampshire County (.'onferenee. It 

 is called because those who attended the last conference a year ago 

 felt that this is a good way for people interested in pulling together in 

 town and county affairs to compare notes and plan for the future. 

 Nothing very satisfactory in community matters is possible without 

 plans and cooperation. 



Great pains have been taken by all who have worked on these 

 different programs to secure practical speakers to lead in the 

 discussions. This is to be a conference of people interested in 

 important public questions. All are encouraged to bring questions 

 and to enter into the discussions following the addresses. 



Unfortunately so many good speakers have been secured that 

 several discussions are going on at once. Carefully read this program 

 and decide what you will attend.
