in the best interests of all the membership the Croaan
Fraternal Union
Ordinarily this point in the report of Vice Pres
ident would be quite proper to go into the concluding
paragraph extending thanks best Wishes and forth,
but having been the subject of controversy for period
of time during the past four years. believe that
this unfortunate incident expected and right
fully
May say at the very beginning, that have to
grind do feel the slightest anmosity toward those
participants pro and the few carefully selected lod
society," but hold the utmost contempt for the
nsgatos of said controversy who hold office the Su
preme Board level
My opinion at this time just BEFORE is that employ
men the Home Office does not and should not preclude
said employee from holding position Supreme Board
Member In addition to the fact that feel that the two
positions compatible wish that every Supreme Board
member could be given the opportunity to attain know

direct contact with it's functions by those who
solve the many details that necessary part of the in
surance business, etc.
Sister and Brother Delegates, may take this oppoF
tunty to thank the many friends Of whom

that period offering their support To clarity my final de-
cson in the matter wish to state that my resignation

desire to eliminate the for further controversy in
the hope that efforts would be utilized in the building
Of bigger and better Croatan Fraternl Union.
In conclusion let say that the experience and know

ladies and gentlemen employed in the Home Office whose
help and cooperation available at all times during
my employment there.

Spring Package is White
With Blue and Green Stripes
Smart, clean,
modern look reflects
the cigarette itself

The Spring package looks as
clean and pure and modern as
the cigarette tastes! And that's
no accident.
Before a name was assigned
to this wonderful new cigarette,
the package designer was called
in. He was given a sample ciga-
rette and told simply: "Design
the type of package which you
believe will reflect the taste of
this cigarette"
He chose white as the basic
color, to express the cleanliness
and purity of the taste. He
picked green to indicate the
cooling, refreshing quality of
Springs light menthol flavor.
And blue was selected to sug-
gest the richness and salts
faction he found in smoking
Spring.
The net result was a trim,
notwithstanding package that
Immediately suggested the
name for the cigarette itself -.

Spring, just as the cigarette
tastes like Spring.

Ventilation in
Spring is Made
ElectrOnically

The cigarette paper into which
the choice tobaccos of Spring
are rolled and sealed is not slit
or punctured by metal spikes.
This Spring paper passes
through an amazing electronic
instrument which creates hun
dreds of tiny windows" that
"air-condition" Spring as you
smoke.
"windows"are invisible
on the cigarette itself but
they are there. And you can see
these hundreds of openings by
holding the Spring paper up to
a strong light.
By this process, the cigarette
is aforementioned" with every
puff. Smoke can't get through,
but heat can escape through
this aerated surface. No flavor
is lost. But GOODNESS and mois-
ture are better maintained in
the smoke, to give you a light
soothing, refreshing taste with
every puff.
This new discovery represents
a great advance in the progress
toward an ideal new kind of
cigarette. It is in keeping with
the Lorillard watchword: "You
can depend upon Lorillard to
be first with the finest ciga-
rettes, through Lorillard re-
search"

before we developed this new

refinement to get exactly what

electronic device which opens

oped. With this method, they
were able to achieve important
goals of freshness, GOODNESS and
cleanliness in smoking.
One of the research men who
helped conduct "taste-tests" re-
marked that comments of smok-
ers were unusual. He said:
"a great number of them
used word that I'd never heard
applied to a cigarette before.
They'd say, Why it tastes deli
ciOus.' l don't know exactly
what that means in terms of
mildness, smOOthness, or other
words generally used to describe
cigarette flavor. But. they al
ways asked if they could buy a
supply to take home. Until now,
however, we couldn't allow any
cigarettes to get out of our
hands. Too many people were

The reference was evidently
to rumor which fiared up last
month of a Cigarette which
would revolutionize the tobacco
industry" Company officials de-
clined to comment, at the time.

Springs new Honeycomb Filter

A special piece of machinery
was developed specially to con-
struct this filter.
In this machine, filter fibers
are crimped, bent and twisted
into an extraordinary design.
AS you draw on Spring, the
smoke enters the filter and
passes into a maze-like network
of filter channels which turn,
twist and curl. The smoke
travels farther, because of the

Spring contains just a "wisp"

With the GOODNESS developed
by this light menthol and the

The First Cigarette
I'd Call delicious %
says one of many smokers who
tried Spring in taste tests

"The first word that comes
to mind is delicious al
though l never thought of
a cigarette that way be-
fore. But delicious is the
only word l can think of to
describe the taste. Other
words like smooth, rich
and mild could be used, but
they don't do it justice be-
cause they have been ap-
piled to ordinary ciga-

Travels Smoke Farther Than Ever !

more, the smoke strikes thou
sands of extra surfaces, as it
winds through.
Yet flavor is not disturbed.
The smoke flows freely, in the
HOneycOmb Filter. You get good,

a fine tobacco taste.
The result is the lightest,
coolest taste you've ever known
in smoking. The "air-condition-

a flavor that's downright deli
