498  The  Forty-third  Annual  Meeting.       { ^^^juiy^^g'JS: 
after  reading  the  minutes  at  the  opening  of  the  final  session  on 
Thursday  evening;  and  also  approve  of  the  proposal  to  have  the 
Secretary  include  photographs  of  the  prominent  association  workers 
among  the  deceased  in  our  next  annual  proceedings. 
In  the  report  of  the  delegates  to  the  Pennsylvania  Medical 
Society,  the  recommendation  was  made  that  this  Association  go  on 
record  as  favoring  the  work  of  the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chem- 
istry of  the  American  Medical  Association,  and  that  the  Secretary 
send  official  notice  of  such  action  to  the  Association.  We  unani- 
mously endorse  this  suggestion. 
In  concluding  this  report  for  formal  presentation  and  action, 
we  wish  to  impress  upon  the  members  that  certain  very  radical 
changes  have  been  authorized,  and  that  the  incoming  officers  be 
duly  impressed  with  the  necessity  of  immediately  inaugurating  such 
a  publicity  campaign  through  the  columns  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Pharmacist  and  otherwise,  as  will  minimize  the  possible  loss  in  mem- 
bership through  the  raising  of  the  dues. 
It  will  be  the  twentieth  anniversary  next  year  of  the  occasion  of 
lowering  the  annual  dues  from  four  dollars  to  two  dollars.  Surely 
our  Association  during  these  years  of  activity  has  more  than  justified 
the  necessity  of  only  a  partial  return  to  the  former  figure.  "Less 
than  a  cent  a  day"  is  a  catch  phrase  used  in  the  President's  address 
which  might  be  used  to  good  effect  in  this  connection. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  was  approved  in  its  entirety  and  the 
President  then  called  for  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Nomina- 
tions, which  was  presented  by  J.  C.  Peacock,  the  Chairman,  as  follows: 
For  President,  W.  J.  Sturgeon,  of  Kittanning. 
First  Vice-President,  W.  B.  Goodyear,  of  Harrisburg. 
Second  Vice-President,  J.  N.  G.  Long,  of  Philadelphia. 
Secretary,  Louis  Saalbach,  of  Pittsburgh. 
Treasurer,  F.  H.  H.  Glein,  of  Lebanon. 
Local  Secretary,  Ambrose  Hunsberger,  of  Philadelphia. 
Member  of  the  Executive  Committee  for  three  years,  the  retiring 
President,  Robert  P.  Fischelis. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  was  received,  unanimously  approved 
and  the  nominees  were  declared  elected  to  the  offices  for  the  ensuing 
year. 
The  seventh  session  of  the  convention  was  held  Thursday  even- 
ing at  8  P.M.,  and  was  featured  by  an  illustrated  lecture,  entitled 
"Who's  Who  in  the  P.  P.  A.,"  by  Professor  Charles  H.  La  Wall.
