Excerpts From the Address By Retiring Snark, Alton J. Hager

"I bclicvc that wc will agrcc that busincss cthics cannot be a real Fratcrnal organization representing onc of thc largcst advanced by reformers but must come from a zeal for an ideal basic Industf,ics which has ha4 and will continue to have, in ttre hcarts of those engaged in businegs. Thc idcals in this much to do with maintaining our high standard of civilization organization should be--<onfidcncc in onc another and lovc by furnishing to our citizcnship a commodity at a reasonablc for service of the Industry and thosc wc Bewc. To do this wc price for thC consttuction of their homec. must climinate the petty differcnccs of opinion in the little THIRD, that the problcms of any Industry, must be things, that arc bound to comc up from timc to timc, and solvcd by all branches of that Industry to thc satisfaction of more thoroughly apprcciate thc gtcat good that can be ac- all concerned. Kceping in mind that HooHoo is the only complished by a unitcd efrort of all the mcmbcrehip, which I organization in thc Lumber fndustry, and thereforc, should think wilt eventually get us nearcr. our aims, as srittcn in have considcrablc to do in asking for a closer unity and cothat wonderful Codc of Ethics and make of us real Fratcrnal operation among those of thc Industry, and which will have Brothers. I do not \pant to appear pessimistic but sincerely much to do in making a bgttcr undcrstanding wi0r thosc we bclieve that as wc arc gathcrcd here at our Thirty-Fifth An- servc. nual we are confrontcd with more peculiar conditions and I fecl ttrat in the past ycar wondcrful progress has been made problcms, which cfrccts our busincse tlian wc have had hcreto- by us in thc working with the scvcral associrations of the Infore and rhich must bc solvcd by rcal constructive under- dustry. During thc last convention ocriod Hoo-Hoo had sta4!i4g of all intcrcstcd. much to do with thc programs of practically evcry Statc and SECONDLY, let ur keep more closely in mind that wc are regional convention."

The first official act of the new Supreme Nine was to select Miami, Fla., as the scene of the next Annual Meeting. This action was taken largely because of the untiring tvork of Ed Leech, 9707, Yicegerent of the Orlando, Fla-., District, a.nd John E. Shepley, 39547, Vicegerent of the Tampa District, who were at Kansas City in spite of the devastating hurricane which disrupted the big delegation Florida had intended to send. We must take ofi our hats to Ed Leech as a promoter and lobbyist unexcelled. He was everywhere and wherever he went those for fiftv feet around knew that Ed wanted the next Annual for Miimiand meant to get it.

The first event on the opening day's program .was an inv-ocation by Pt. Raphael Harwood Mitter, -pastor of the Independence Boulevlrd Christian Church, i(ansas City. Singing of "America" and "God Save the King', by tlie lnti-re convention, with accompaniment by the celebrated Twin Cities Hoo-Hoo Orchestra, was next.

Mayor Albert I. Beach then welcomed the visitors on behalf of Kansas City, and Paul Doneghy extended the greetings and welcome of the Kansas City Hoo-Hoo Club, of which he is president. Theo. A. Sparks of Winnipeg, member of the Supreme Nine for three years, responded for the visitors.

Then came one of the most beautiful memorial services ever held, in which tender tribute was paid to the memory of Bolling Arthur Johnson, founder of Hoo-Hoo. The service began with the singing of several hymns by a mixed quartet. While one of the hymns was being sung a large portrait of Brother Johnson rvas slowly exposed to view in the front of the hall by the raising of the American flag, which enshrouded it.
