the temporary chairman, was elected
permanent chairman, and Lloyd f.

Various topics relating to the poll
cies to follow, such as whether or not
it would be wise to observe a full
holiday or only half day. were dis
cussed in a round-table fashion. The
prospects for rousing celebration
are bright and much headway was
made in that direction.

The first question that presented II
self was whether we declare a whole

perhaps the better plan, due TO the
