Nd, was elected president for one
year term and two men from each Of
the fourteen counties on the PENN
sula were elected members of the
Board Of Governors, to be known as

The reports submitted at the meet
ing showed each one of the fourteen

cry county has formed, or is forming
local organizations for the purpose o1
developing it's own opportunities anG
resources.
One of the features of the confer.
ence was a display Of the advertising
copy which the Association is already
running in Wilmington, Baltimore
Philadelphia, Washington and othel
nearby cities in New Jersey, New
York and Pennsylvania. The Asso

to radius of 300 miles, but the pro.
gram will be broadened step by steI
until national advertising campaign
is in full swing.
All of the speakers at the meeting
sounded an optimistic note.
