-^luiy^^i }       The  Forty-third  Annual  Meeting.  49 5 
lature  had  not  been  in  session.  He  reported  on  several  phases  of 
National  legislation  and  pointed  out  what  progress  had  been  made 
for  preparing  for  the  next  session  of  the  State  Legislature. 
Following  this  report  Mr.  Charles  Rehfuss,  of  Philadelphia, 
introduced  a  resolution  asking  for  the  appointment  of  a  committee 
of  five  retail  druggists  to  take  up  all  matters  referring  to  prohibition 
legislation  with  the  Prohibition  Commissioner's  office. 
This  committee  is  also  to  become  a  part  of  the  Committee  on 
Legislation  when  State  legislation  on  the  alcohol  situation  is  con- 
sidered.   The  resolution  was  passed. 
Dr.  Walton  also  reported  for  the  Pennsylvania  Board  of  Phar- 
macy of  which  he  is  the  Secretary.  In  a  very  interesting  manner 
he  pointed  out  some  of  the  problems  with  which  the  Board  has  to 
contend  and  quoted  some  correspondence  on  various  subjects  to 
show  the  wide  range  of  activity  and  the  great  mass  of  detail  handled 
by  the  Secretary's  office. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  President's  Address  was  then 
presented  by  the  Chairman,  Professor  Charles  H.  La  Wall,  as  follows: 
REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  PRESIDENT'S  ADDRESS. 
Your  Committee  on  President's  Address  in  submitting  this  report 
upon  the  matters  referred  to  them,  wish  to  express  the  unanimous 
opinion  that  the  address  of  President  Fischelis  is  worthy  of  the  highest 
traditions  of  the  office,  and  both  in  form  and  substance  is  to  be 
commended  for  its  clarity,  its  comprehensiveness  and  its  progressive- 
ness. 
Its  recommendations  give  evidence  of  careful  constructive 
planning  for  the  welfare  of  the  organization,  and  are  worthy  of,  and 
have  been  given,  most  careful  consideration. 
Taking  them  up  in  the  order  of  their  presentation  we  unani- 
mously voice  the  following  opinions  upon  the  respective  subjects : 
FINANCES. 
The  growing  costs  of  administration  coupled  with  the  growing 
needs  of  our  association  make  it  imperative  that  something  should 
be  done  to  augment  our  finances.  We,  therefore,  approve  of  the 
proposal  that  our  by-laws  shall  be  amended  so  as  to  increase  the 
annual  dues  from  two  to  three  dollars,  this  change  to  take  effect 
when  the  dues  for  1921  are  collected. 
We  believe,  however,  that  there  are  certain  inherent  advantages
