Chicago is the logical place for the

number OF passenger traffic managers

uNes, These men viii represent their
roads and right well. TOO. but what q
great thing IT would be to have all the
members Of the association out here to

sion OF me when ! began looking around
Salt Lake after my arrival last Satur-
DAY What n wonderful city this is and
what wonderful country ! was here
number OF years ago-the temple was
far from completion at that time. and II
was a great place, then. As | remember
this corner (Mr. Charlton was In the
main lobby of The new Hotel Utah while
talking) when ] Was here before and
see " now. you may know that the
change is striking.
In this great growing country-the land
OF the tourists. the destination OF
thousands of our travellers and the people
the members OF the association have deal
lnes with from time TO time.

ing place. YOU ask? Well. there wasn't
much danger OF Il change. 4 number of

We changed the meeting place after he
had done so much TO have IL come here.

ter,ainment committee much OF the
time.

OF the association will be. The work of
the committee is merely in the form of
ecommendations-all may be turned
