PRESIDENT BEST: We will proceed with the business of the organization. On the Resolutions Committee which will give us resolutions for adoption at our final night session, I appoint Mr. Davidson, Mr. Allaman, Mr. Oakes and Mr. Snyder. The next item of business is the election of a Nominating Committee. This committee is to nominate the officers which will be elected at our next annual meeting. Nominations are now in order. DR. MCKAY: I nominate Mr. Machovina. MR. DAVIDSON: Mr. Silvis. DR. CRANE: I'd like to nominate Mr. Salzer. MR. DAVIDSON: I think Dr. Crane ought to be nominated. MR. STOKE: I nominate Mr. Kyle from Iowa. DR. DOWELL: I move nominations be closed. PRESIDENT BEST: Is there a second to Dr. Dowell's motion that nominations be closed? (Motion seconded and passed.) PRESIDENT BEST: Nominations are closed. Those in favor of this list, Mr. Kyle, Dr. Crane, Mr. George Salzer, Mr. Silvis, Mr. Machovina, for Nominating Committee for next year make it known by saying "Aye." (Chorus of "ayes") Opposed? (None.) PRESIDENT BEST: May we have the report of the Program Committee. They have been at work, we can see that. The evidence is on every hand. Dr. McKay? DR. MCKAY: The program you have in your hands represents the work of the Program Committee. The work of the Program Committee is done prior to the meeting and I want to say that this year I really did have fine cooperation from the members and from the members of the committee in responding to requests for numbers on the program. That always makes the work of a committee easy. Because of this fine cooperation I can say truthfully that the effort on my part was relatively small. As all of you know, we now have a larger group of people to draw from for our programs than formerly. We always go back, of course, to our tried and true members who, year after year, give us numbers for the program, but we also like to give the new members a chance and recruit from new sources whenever possible. I haven't analyzed the program enough to know exactly how many new members are listed on the program this year, but I think you will find a few, and as the organization continues to grow, it will be desirable to use these new sources of information for items on the program as much as we can. PRESIDENT BEST: That's fine. I don't think we can emphasize that too much, this new-member proposition. We are ready now for the report of the Secretary, Mr. Chase. MR. CHASE: About the only report that I have to make is one that was prepared by Mr. Carl Prell, and I don't see why in the world he didn't give it, since it's such a fine job of getting together the information on membership. I am going to try to sum this up for you, in order that you will know the progress we made in the membership drive to which so many of you contributed.
