Big Time Promised at State / Convention in S. F. Oct.28

Perfection of the California Lumbermen's Association will be accomplished at the eonvention of the organization to be heid at the Whitcomb Hotel in San Francisco on Saturday, October 28.

That much is certain now. It is no secret that when the meeting first was called, there was some question whether the state in general would be thoroughly represented as interest seemed to be lagging in some quarters.

But within the Iast few weeks lumbermen North and South have become FRED coNNER aroused and before the meeting takes place some real enthusiasm doubtless will be manifest.

The officers and committees in charge of arrangements have wisely decided not to offer a cut and dried. progran, but will have the meeting wide open for whatever discussions the members care to offer. Of course, there will be some formal speaking, such as the ofricers' reports and other details, but there will be no attempt at long-winded oratorp'.

More than a dozen important questions will be up for decision and as the convention is scheduled to last but one day, the proceedings will be conducted with snap and vigor.

Fred Conner of Sacramento, president of the association, will conduet the meeting. The opening gun will be firecl promptly at 10 o'clock in the morning. Sessions will continue through the afternoon and wind up with a dinner at 6 :30 in the evening. A dance and entertainment will follow. Lumbermen and lumber women both will be there.

Since coming to the state two weeks ago, and taking have a tendency soon to improve the Southern Pine order accounts.
