! 



Good Work of the Retiring President. 



Moved by Mr. J. E. Murphy, seconded 

 by Lt.-Col. Harkom, and 



Resolved, that this Annual Meeting de- 

 sires to place on record its appreciation of 

 the time and thought devoted to the work 

 of the Association in the past two years 

 by the retiring President, Hon. W. A. 

 Charlton, M.P. In 1912, when Vice-Presi- 

 dent, he attended the convention in Vic- 

 toria, B.C., and assisted greatly in making 

 that meeting a success. Last year he gave 

 much time to the work of the Association 

 in general, and to the Winnipeg Conven- 

 tion in particular. He left his sick room 

 in Toronto to go to Winnipeg, and when 

 there gave attention to every detail to 

 make things run smoothly. When asked to 

 open the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition 

 on the afternoon of the second day of the 

 Convention, he consented only on being 

 assured by the local committee that the 

 publicity thus given w^ould draw attention 

 to the work of forest conservation. Mr. 

 Charlton's long and varied experience and 

 widespread interests in the timber business 

 and public affairs, and his connections with 

 movements for the betterment of the peo- 

 ple of Canada have given added strength 

 and prestige to the work of the Associa- 

 tion. 



The motion was .put by Mr. Miller and 

 carried by standing vote. 



The President* replied that he appre- 

 ciated the resolution very highly. He had 

 given considerable time to the work, espe- 

 cially in connection with the Winnipeg 

 Convention, but it was a labor of love, a 

 work he liked, and when the convention 

 had proved successful he was well repaid.
