 ence on Rangeland. I am told that there are some 225 people in the room

 at Sun City, California 



Mr. Melvin Morris, Missoula, Montana 



and also our distinguised guest speaker tonight:

I would also like to ask some of the visiting dignitaries to stand up. 

 (Persons from Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska stood and 

 were introduced) . 



I would now like to call on the Reverend Franklin R. Elliott of the 

 Mayflower Congregational Church to present the Invocation.
