Denver Hearings

The Merchant Magazine David Cutler, editor-manager 4500 Campus Dr., suite 476 Newport Beach, Ca. 92660

Dear Dave:

I wish to make a correction in one of the personals which appeared in your April issue.

I have not testified before the Senate Select Committee on Small Business in Washington, D.C. I did, however. submit a written statement to hearings of the Senate Select Committe on Small Business which were held in Denver by Senator Floyd Haskell on February 24th. For your information, I am enclosing a copy of the written statement which I submitted for the hearings.

Dick Gittings Gittings Lumber Co., Inc. 4501 Wynkoop St. Denver, Co. 80216

Dick's statement dealt in part with the corporate surtax exemption, small business perpetuation and timber capital gains and small business. - ed.

A Club Project

Dear Dave:

Thought you might be interested in my proposal to establish an International Hoo-Hoo Foundation.

I feel that the order has a great need for an International Hoo-Hoo project which will build great prestige in our industry and attract interest and enthusiasm not only with our present

We urgently need men like him and other prominent executives who have done so much for Hoo-Hoo over the years.

However, we must definitely build up our reputation as a serious organization devoted to the betterment of our industry, our membership, and to the development and education of young men who will be coming along in years to come.

Of course, we are a lumber fraternity and we should never neglect to carry on the splendid fraternalism among our members which has prevailed for so many years.

I do hope that eventuallY some project of this kind can be worked out as I think it would be a wonderful boost for Hoo-Hoo and increase great interest and along with it a great increase in members.

(Continued from page zg) by business experience, basic acquaintance with economic stability, experience in the private sector job market, or any experience other than the public payroll.

The statement is often made that in a competitive economy "you get what you pay for." Here it is probable that we will get what we paid for through our indifference at the polls, through lackadaisical regard for the qualifications of elected representatives, through stinted attention to the urgency and importance of responsible political involvement.

In short, get involved.
