to Increase Association Membership

.asponsibles for the meeting coming
here. the members of the Forrest
County Medical Society and those citi-
zens who have co-operated to insure

As Dr. Dyer stated in his annual ad-
dress the progress and growth of the
| association is due largely to the work
of the secretary, DR.. Seall Harris, Of
Mobile. DIR. Harris and his private
secretary have been the busiest bodies
during the meeting of anyone connect
ed with the association and their worl,
has been universally commended
/ The task of registering the members,
/ furnishing them with tags and pro
grams and answering any and all
questions propounded is no easy one.
| And to this task may be added the all
! important part, collecting the dues
past and present, and getting new
members for the association. This
work has fallen largely to Miss PUT
| foy, of Mobile, DR.. Harris secretary,
and much credit and praise is due her
! for the efficient and courteous man
ner in which she has handled these
details. She is a charming young
| lady, a general favorite with the doc
! tors and they forget how to say no
when dues" or becoming a member
is mentioned, which makes her serv-
ices all the more valuable. Miss Puri-
foy is within herself an information
bureau and a collecting agency Of the
highest efficiency, and the Association
should be and no doubt is proud of
her.
