to the association and their thanks are
extended to the members of the house
and the senate. The association being
semipublic institution. whose wbole
work is to the upbuilding of the com
munlty, this particular exemption evj-
dences broad and commendable spirIt
that 1t is believed win enable the as
soclatlon to more nearly meet the
wants OF the citizens who need its
services.
The membership record reached it's
nigh water mark. The roll at one time
carried 7S3 names, exceeding any previ.
GUS year by eighty-one When the
move IS made into the new building
1t is possible that the membership NAV

them pointing out the uses of the vari-
Gus rooms. The games department win.
be the first of its kind to be built in
the world and will have accommodation
for everything, including running

the fact that it will be practically open

during one of his short addresses gave
great praise to the way in which the
various officers had carried out their
work during the year. This was espe.
clally so in the case of Deskman Cham,
berlain. He is the best they have ever
had there and anyone who comes along
is sure of a welcome to the building.
Wanted-1OOo Members.
One of the main features for which
the association is to strive during the
period which elapses between now and |
the time they will be able to occupy |
the new building is the enrolment Of
1000 members. Special teams will be
picked out for this work and they win
solicit among their friends and ac.
quaintances and see if they can not
gather in the desired number. With
an the Inducements that the new build
ing has to offer they think that this
viii not be very hard task.

chestra rendered several items and at
the end of the business session refresh
ments were handed around.
