STATE DENTAL
SOCIETY ENDS
/ VI SESSION HERE
Officers and Delegates Are
Named at Afternoon Ses-
sion Today

At the business session Of the
sixteenth annual convention of the
West Virginia State Dental Soci.
ETY. which was held this afternoon,
starting at 1915 o'clock, the fol.
lowing officers were named for the
year: G. G. Howard, West Union,
president; Fred Hess, Fairmont,
vice president; s. E. Langfitt,
Huntington, second vice president;
N. P. MacEermid, Charleston, sec
retary; John s. Stone, Clarksburg,
treasurer.
There is always much rivalry for
the election OF a man as second
vice president OF the society, as
under the constitution OF the or.
ganization he is assured an office
for three years, moving to vice.
president the year after his elec.
tion and to president the second
year.
The following delegates were
named to the national convention
to be held in Los Angeles next
August: H. w. Burnett. Fair.
mont Harry Halstead, Charleston;
and L. R. Bird, Princeton.
After long debate, 1t was de.
cided that the West Virginia
State Dental Society should pay
the expense of its president in.
CURED in making a trip once a
year to all the component societies
in the state. Phe proponents of
the idea were OF the opinion that
the cost of such a trip would be
very little compared to the good
that would be derived to all con-
cerHed by having the chief exec.
utive OF the state body visit the
various component organizations
between now and the next annual
convention.
With the end of the convention
only few hours away, the mem.
bers of the state society who are
attending tho annual meeting this
year are giving high praise for the
manner in which they were enter.
ttalned while in this city and they
declare that Wheeling will have to
go solle TO beat the record made
here by tho entertainment com.
