and feels sure he will get it. To the
committee and members who so ably
assisted to add to the interest Of the
T. P. A. column the past year, extend
thanks and assure them of my appre-
citation of their efforts. To the commit

assure them of the same appreciation
for their assistance that | know l will

Once more we record the passing of
an Annual Convention of The Indiana
Division T. P. A. There convened
at Muncie on Friday and Saturday,
May Bird and 4th 215 delegates COM
posing the twenty second annual con-
vention. Besides the delegates a num-
Der Of members not delegates were
present, as was also a number of wives
and daughters of T. P. AS That Mum
Gle did herself proud, in the enter
tainment and reception of the visitors
is putting it very mild. 1t seemed that
everything that could be done, was
done. From the time of arrival to the
time Of departure, some member of
Post r. was ever on the alert to add
to the comfort of your visit. To the la
dies of Post R. especial mention should
be made. for at no previous convention
in the history of the Indiana Division
has this part of the programme been
so very successfully carried out. The
Girls" of Post r. certainly have the
entertainment idea down to a nicely
and every visiting T. P. A. lady has
nothing but praise for their most
splendid entertainment.
The convention passed off very
tremendously, nothing unusual occur
ring to jar the festivities of the occa,
sion. Mr.. Frank Haimbaugh. Muncie g
| candidate for state secretary and
! treasurer. was not elected, much ii
seemed to the disappointment of Nun
Gle T. P. AS, and Mr.. Haimbaugh in
particular. However, Post r. should
not take this as not showing proper
appreciation of the sterling quality OF
their membership. their splendid en-
tertainment, and the most excellent
candidate they had up for election
Mr.. Haimbaugh is a pleasing fellow, q
hustler and an application "getter'
who has no peer. Such men are bound
to be recognized in the circles of T. P
Aism, not only in the Indiana Division
but the National Association. The de
feat of Mr.. Haimbaugh can only bt
charged to the fact that there was no
demand for a change of Secretary
and treasurer in the Indiana division
Post r and Mr.. Haimbaugh over-esti
mated their ability to show the dele
gates why a change should be made
at this time. We all know and like
Billy" Chambers. He has served u:
faithfully and we'll. and until such tim,
comes that some dissatisfaction il
manifest, or Mr.. Chambers declines t,
have the position, another man stand

him. Therefore, Mr.. Haimbaugh, no
Post R. should not feel hurt over tn
situation for they did as well, an,
perhaps better, with their candidat.
than anybody else could have done.
