ton, there is dearth this season, and
there are still two vacancies for the pres

This fact was brought out at the meet

Of Deputy Attorney General Daniel O..
Hastings in Wilmington. While this
matter was not discussed at length by the
board it was brought ort in tile routine Of
business.
What has caused the lack of applicants
Inr Tree education is source Uf some per-
