He stated this could be done if we all show unity and address ourselves to the problems at hand. Once a decision has been rendered the majority should rule, and the minority should accept the de­cisions. He advocates the motto “love your fel­low man as 1 would love you” The Con­vention is not for creating confusion, but rather the purpose of the Convention is to formulate legislation which will be for the best interest of the Association.

Balia, thanked each and every Board Member and National Officer for the fine cooperation during the past four years.

National Secretary Editor’s Note: Board Minutes are brief, because many matters acted upon were referred to the 27th National Conven­tion and the Convention Minutes can be found elsewhere in this issue. A small boy, attending dancing school, was instructed by his mother to say some­thing nice to each young lady as he es­corted her back to her seat. He danced unth a young girl and took her back to her seat without saying anything to her. Remembering the oversight, he went back to her and said: “Mary, you sweat less than any little fat girl I ever danced with.” owy-y-- - - -19
