done its valuation work, then this 

 committee must elect the final court 

 of last resort of three members to 

 pass on disputed values on which 

 the committee of twenty-five cannot

 book form. Let us all do our full 

 duty to our fellow Oologists in this 

 matter, promptly, thoroughly and 

 cheerfully.
