Dr. MacDaniels: I move its adoption. (The motion was seconded, vote taken and motion carried unanimously.) President Davidson: Next, I should say, we would like to have a report of the nominating committee. Mr. Weber: The Nominating Committee reports for the consideration of the members the following list of candidates: For president, H. F. Stoke from Virginia. Vice-president, L. H. MacDaniels from New York. For secretary, J. C. McDaniel from Tennessee, and treasurer, Sterling A. Smith from Ohio. President Davidson: You have heard the report of this committee. I should say that in this case nominations from the floor would be in order. A Member: Mr. President, I move that nominations be closed. (The motion was seconded, vote taken, and motion carried unanimously.) President Davidson: That was on the motion that nominations be closed. What is your pleasure, shall we vote by ballot or shall we vote by-- A Member: Mr. President, I move that the secretary be instructed to cast a unanimous ballot for those nominated by the Nominating Committee. Mr. Fisher: Second. (A vote was taken on the motion, and it was carried unanimously.) President Davidson: This gavel I should have called to your attention before. It is called to your attention at the end of our program, and so you know its story. The other one that has been used in our past meetings was sent to me by Mr. Reed. It is "An Historical Gavel, Northern Nut Growers Association." I understand from Mr. Reed that this was a piece of wood sent to Mr. Littlepage and turned by him and made into a gavel, and this little metallic name plate sunk in by Mr. Littlepage, who is one of the very early members of our association. So we have two historic gavels. Rather interesting, I think. One other matter. The question has come up in view of the fact that the next annual report will be larger than normal and also in view of the fact that the membership dues have been raised to $3.00, whether it should not be wise and fitting to charge $3.00 for the coming 1948 report instead of the old price of $2. Mr. McDaniel: $2.00 is the current price for the last two issues of the report to non-members. If that is allowed to continue the man who purchases a report without becoming a member will get it for one-third less than the members do. President Davidson: What is your wish? Mr. Weber: Mr. President, I say that they should not be given any more preference than the members, so let them pay $3.00 like the rest of us. I make it in the form of a motion. A Member: Second. President Davidson: Moved and seconded that the charge for the forth-coming report of this Association be made $3.00 to non-members. Of course, that report goes to all members, as you know. Are there any remarks on this motion? Mr. Slate: Mr. President, what about the matter of supplying reports to libraries? In the past we supplied libraries at $1.00 a copy. I don't know whether Mr. McDaniel has had any special requests.
