There are problems of lumber dealers which are badlv in need of correction, but concerning which your association unfortunately can do nothing for legal reasons. I refer to what I call "Disorderly Distribution" in all its phases. The public, the contractor, and the dealer would be mucl-r better off if something could be legally done to correct the problem. There are, however, many things your association can legally do to help the 'ivhole industry to keep healthy and assist it to earn a fair return on its investment. For instance, the holding of conferences such as we held at San Diego some months ago are helpful, and conventions sucl.r as this one, where in addition to hearing fine speakers on current problerns, lumbermen can mingle and learn incidentally that their competitor is not such a bad fellow after all.

I will not burden you with the day to day activities of your association. Belonging to a good, strong association like this one is like knorn'ing a good doctor or a good lawyer. They seem unimportant until something happens and then what a satisfaction it is to reach for a telephone and know that you will receive the very best service obtainable.

We are most pleased with the widespread support of our association by lumber dealers throughout Southern California, and we are very appreciative of the support given us by the wholesale group, some of whom have taken associate memberships, others have placed exhibits at our conventions, or have advertiseC in our Year Book. With a continuance of this support our association and its capable Secretary can continue to help lumbermen throughout Southern California and can strive to do even more in the year ahead.

Thank you.
