After the reports of committees, thr€e films were run by Frank Parker of U. S. Gypsum in Phoenix and were all thoroughly enjoyed. They were "Women's Congress Homes," sponsored by Celotex Corporation; "Chuck Woods, Go-Giver," sponsored by Wood Conversion Company, and "Profit Management," sponsored by U. S. Gypsum Company.

From 6:00 p.m. to 7 :30, the annual cocktail party on the pool patio was given through the courtesy of Union Gypsum Company, followed by the annual banquet in the main dining room. Charles E. Mann of Phoenix was master of ceremonies and did such a splendid job that many folks believe he got his training from Bob Hope or Red Skelton.

Golf prize awards were made by Howard Beals and George Ross and recognition was given to J. G. O'Malley and Mrs. Killen because of their long years of service to the Association, and to Adolph Schwarz, the dean of Arizona lumbermen, who attained his 81st birthday that day.

Hoctor, Mrs. Marian Swanson, Mrs. GenBrecheisen, Mrs. Ty Killen, Mrs. Frances Cox and Mrs. Katie Michaels. I\4attie Medigovich was unable to attend but a telegram was read at the ladies luncheon and at the regular session which expressed her wonderful spirit.

On Sunday, more than 70 of the convention group went to the races at Turf Paradise as guests of Walter Cluer and the ninth race wa-s dedicated to the Arizona dealers association.
