 The courage Of Miss Post in going from a comfortable home in New York 70 Arizona in 1872 deserves to place her among the names Of men who made it possible fer Us to enjoy the present advantages of the Southwest. and in whose presence our achieve ments are commonplace and uninteT- czt.ng.

 Today we have three candles for our rejoicing and their light. extending over the path we have trod brings into relief many happy occasions. When looking backward, the stepping stones between plans and achievements seem not so far apart as when they lay be- fore us. Today our purposes stand out more definitely than ever before and we push forward with increased confidence.
 We greet the accustomed faces with affection. remembering the mutual struggles and successes and the hearty cooperation which has given Us four happy November meetings.
 We hail the new faces with keen pleasure, receiving inspiration from their presence and thei~ promise Of future activity. Some faces we miss and we regret that they have been de- tained from meeting with us today.
 Our beloved leader, the promoter of this organization, Mrs. A. ..

 IF course of study and action. We were proud to report delegates and alternates from seven clubs at the Los Angles biennial, and we point with equal pride to the fact that six of our clubs were represented at St. Louis, for the effort was greater then in many ways. From some of these we are to receive at this meeting the bi- ennial message which we trust will stimulate us to greater. nobler achiev- ments.
 You will hear the reports of presi- dents of our clubs and will note the measure of their allegiance to the controlling forces of the General Fed eration.
 It is our purpose. the purpose of the Arizona Federation to strengthen this allegiance. to the end that we may work in harmony with that great organization to elevate the standards of life.
 We are to bring before you during this meeting the various phases of our work, suggested either wholly or in part by the committees of the General Federation.
