meeting, as it
did last year.
This wifely in D""""r marc
terest is being manifested by ques-
tionS which many members are
asking daily. All are seeking in
formation as to the plans for the
meeting, but as yet nothing Of
1icial has come out.
Until last year the association
membership cavorted annually at
some resort such as White Sulphur
Spring, Virginia Hot Springs, or
Montauk.
Fete Cancelled
Last year the group planned to
stage five-day janboree at Vir-
ginia Beach, but when the date
rolled around the District banking
holiday was in full swing, and the
elaborate festivities were called
off.
Instead of going to the ocean
side for five days of joviality,
dancing, bridge playing. golfing,
some business and what have you,
the membership and the wives re-
paired to Columbia Country Club
for a golf tournament and a ban.
quet.
Naturally that did not please
the ladies, and this year they have
started their missionary work
early, each determined. if possible,
to speed return to the good old
days and q real holiday.
So determined are the ladies
that, in all probability, George
Vass, vice president Of Riggs No.
tional Bank, and president of the
association, will be asked to call a
meeting soon to determine what's
to be done.
The committee picked by the
board Of governors Of the Wash
ington Ticker Club to name a
slate Of three officers and two di-
rectors hasn't had an opportunity
to meet, but Thomas w. Brahany,
manager of the E. A. Pierce &
Company, is practically conceding
his election as president.
Brahany is vice president of the
group, and if precedent holds he
will be the next chief executive,
succeeding Karl w. Corby, Of
HibbS & Company.
With his fingers stuck in the
armholeS Of his vest and putting
at cigar, Brahany observed:
"Well, I guess I'm it. But
what worries me is what cOnSti-
lures the functions of the pres
ldent Of the club. So far as I
have been able to find out his
chief duty is to give dinner or
party for the other members"
Bhahany made no promises as
to menu or liquid refreshments,
but it's cinch that there will be
plenty Of entertainment. He is
an entertainer of note, and can
corral a troupe of singers, dancers,
monologuiSts and other specialists
almost at a. minutes notice.
The Ticker Clubs nominating
committee is headed by Carol c.
Morgan, Of G. M. P. Murphy
& Co. The committeeman are
Frank Thiel, Of j. S. Bache &
Co.: Chester Lockwood, of Hemp
hill, Noyes Co.; George Garrett,
Of Clark, Childs & Keech, and A.
Harmer Reside, Of Westheimer
g. Co.
Morgan and Lockwood are now
directors Of the club and members
Of the board Of governors, and
have the pleasant task of finding
someone to fill their shoes, since
they probably will step out of the
picture.
incidentally, with Brahany be.
ing an odds-on cinch for the
presidency, Ralph Wolfe, Secre-
tary of Mackubin, Legg & Co.,
now secretary of the club, will
undoubtedly move into the vice
presidency.
Members Of the club are mySti-
fled as to why it required Selec-
ton of a nominating committee
to put this over.

Hamilton National Bank, is going
