Annuol €onvention in Duluth to Nqme 'Mrs. Infernotionql Hoo-Hoo'

A special feature of the annual convention of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo this vear. to be held in Duluth, Minn., Sept. 13-16, will be the seiection of a "Mrs. International IIoo-Hoo." The selection will be coupled with a "Mystery Day" program that should provide enough interest and enthusiasm to make this year's convention one of the largest in history.

These and other plans were announced at a meeting, April 10, called by Robert Stephany, general chairman of the-1959 convention, to his committee chairmen. Speaking to 97 members and their wives of the Head-of-Laftes and Range Hoo-Hoo Club at Cronstrom's Supper Club, Superior, Wis., Stephany said the lumber frateinal organization should cash in on the "Miss-This and Miss-That" contests always held by some group or other and name its own "queen."

"Why not pay homage to the girl who makes an association such as Hoo-Hoo successful-the wife of a Hoo-Hoo member?" Stephany asked. "Let's select a Mrs. Hoo-Hoo to reign over our convention, and by this token show that our wives are our most treasured possessions."

As the plan is tentatively set up, each Jurisdiction will be permitted to select its method of choosing its "Mrs." candidate. The nine candidates will then be presented on Monday noon, Sept. 14.

its candidate to a special contest meeting in Minneapolis where the "Mrs. VIII" candidate will be named. Another method mentioned would consist of having the club select its candidates and send photos and biographies to Supreme t headquarters for selection of the Jurisdiction candidate.

The "Mrs. Hoo-lfoo" will be named at the convention after the nine candidates have had ample. opportunity to campaign there. Stephany's current plan is to give one vote to each Hoo-Hoo member registered at the Duluth annual. Announcement of the winner would be made at the convention banquet-dance, Wednesday night, Sept. 16.

Preliminary plans for the "Mystery Day" include a bus tour of scenic Duluth and North Shore sites starting at 9 a.m. and ending in the early evening after a dayful of surprises. Everything will be free through courtesy of the host Head-of-Lakes and Range club.
