Presidents Address
President Woehner prefaced the
reading of his address with a review of
the circumstance which had attended
its preparation. He said he had a year
in which to write it, but waited until
the sixtieth minute Of the last hour
before really getting at it.. He tore up
the first draft. he said, then not being
able to think of anything better, pieced
it together from the waste basket. 1t
follows:
1T is, indeed, a great pleasure to
preside at this, the thirty-secOnd. IN
nual meeting of the Montana State
Pharmaceutical association, and the
first meeting eve held in this city.
which justly claims the distinction
the best in the west
Never in the history of this asso-
citation have the prospects been as good
for. a real live and enthusiastic meet
ing. in which everyone of the local
members, without exception, has done
his part. contributing both time and
money to make this meeting the most
interesting and successful since its or
Notwithstanding in that there is
not an idle moment from early noon
till the day is done at 10. BELLS and
successful in that we hope everyone
attending will feel these meetings
should be attended by every member
interested in the drug business and
pharmacy profession.
Every registered pharmacist is a
member of the state association and

there is nothing We could not ac-
complish. If we set out to do so. In
the past. we have had too many slack

with the result that we have accom-
Iplished very little. when we should have
done much.
Interest Is Lacking
Again. there seems to be the same
lack of interest in our memberships
in the American Pharmaceutical asso-
citation. u national organization.
which has been earnestly working for
more than 60 years for our benefit.
If we would only stop to think a, mo-
ment. We would find it is a duty we
owe ourselves not only to maintain a
membership. but to follow up the work
and take an active part in the pro-
ceedings, for their existence depends
virtually nothing. less than / cent a
day. which possibly gives us the i'm
preston that they are not much good
and of little value. Should the active
workers at the front. those interested

themselves d%isbanded. and we would
be Hopping around like a chicken with
its head chopped off.
This association needs more active
members. active enough to attend meet
ings. take an active interest in the pro-
of the business. Personally, I would
prefer the dues be raised at least So
a year. Less than that is nothing. and
1 really believe a dollar a month or $40
a yea would be still better. This
would then provide ample funds for
both legislative work and convention
entertainment. which would seem to be
needed in this organization more than
anything else.
Mayor Welcomes Visitors
I'VE in Montana have prospered
during the last year and each and
every one of us should do our part. as
Montanans always do. to make our
Montana State Pharmaceutical associa-
ton the best. the strongest and the
most influential association in the good
United States of America-even if we
have to get into politics to do it,
In extending a welcome TO the dele
gates. Mayor r. NJ. Armour called
attention of the delegates to the many
advantages possessed by Great Falls
as a jobbing center. He emphasized
the boulevard and park system of the
city. which. he said. made it an attrac-
tive place for people to live. He ON
mended the committee in charge of
arrangements for planning trips about
the city and its environs and urged
delegates to note particularly the many
assets the city had. J. ". Seiden of
Lewistown. in responding. said virtual
" all of the druggists of the state
knew the men who had the convention
in charge and. knowing them, were
secure in the knowledge that they
would have a good time while here.
The automobile trip to Sun River
park was cancelled because Of the
muddy roads snd damp grounds. Dele
gates were taken for automobile rides
about the city.
Delegates and their wives were en-
tertained at a dinner dance at Meadow
Lark Country club Monday evening.
Business sessions will be resumed at
$50 this morning in the Park hotel.
