was unable to put its conclusions in proper form for the 

 reason that the hours of this convention precluded the use of 

 the typewriter, but the results are now being prepared and the 

 Committee would like to submit them a little later in the meet- 

 ing in the proper form. 



The President — We will hear a report of the Committee on 

 Nominations for officers for the ensuing year. 



Mr. Engine — Mr. President, the report is on your desk. The

 we have tried to carry it on in the past. I feel as though it would 

 be a mistake in a State- wide movement of this kind to permit 

 one section to have as long a representation as you have con- 

 ferred upon me as your Chairman. In Dr. Darnall you will 

 have at the head of your Association a representative of one of
