1t has often been noted that the
membership in hobby clubs repre-
sents only a fraction of the number
Of people following the hobby. 1t is
unfortunate this should be so, as
there are innumerable benefits to be
gained from such membership. The
reasons are probably many and
varied and it is most likely useless
to attempt to convert the nom
members by argument. If they
could be induced to attend a meet
ing or two there would undoubtedly
be many converts.
Some people are constitutionally
unable to adapt themselves to club
membership. These we can do Moth
ing about, but we hope that all
others may be enticed to some of
these meetings and other functions
by an occasional recital of their
attractions.
Meetings of most Of these organ
izations are held monthly, with ad-
ditional get-togethers as occasion
requires. One of these additional
affairs is the annual banquet of the
Washington Ship Model Society.
The 18th Of these was held February
20 at the same restaurant which has
been host to it for a number of
years. The members of this organ
ization display great ingeniousness
in devising new and attractive adj
iunctS to this dinner.
This year each guest was pre-
sented with folder containing
photographs of the societys recent
annual exhibit and contest. These
were particularly appropriate, since
the winners of the contest were an
nounced at the dinner.
The banquet had two high points
the announcement of these winners
and talk by Brig. Gen. Robert L.
Denig, U. S. M. c.
The committee of judges for the
contest consisted of Frank Taylor,
curator of the division of engineer
ing, National Museum; 1t. Walter
M. Whitehill, U. S. N. r., assistant
director. Peabody Museum, Salem,
Mass: 1t. M. v. Brewington, U. S.
N. r.. marine historian, writer and
member of the Philadelphia Ship
Modelers' Club. The committees re-
port stressed the excellence of all
work in the show and complimented
the members on having found I'M
usual models to build Since serving
on this committee Mr.. Taylor has
left Washington to take up duties
as captain in the Coast Artillery
and he was unable to be present at
the banquet.
1t. Brewington reported the win
ners as follows: A special award to

of the club who died recently. The

awarded annually.
Principal speaker of the evening
was Gen. Denig. His subject covered
experiences during his many years
in the Marine Corps and largely
revolved around model building in
many parts of the world and under
varied circumstances.
