Son Diego 2, Colifornio standing ovation to our National president. Jay took us on a trip to various other association conventions through the country and told us of some of their projects and items of interest on their programs. While visiting Various cities in the Northwest, South, Midwest and East, he had an opportunity to see first hand the economic condition of the country. While there were a few isolated bad spots, generally speaking business was looking up and a brighter future seems a ceitainty. He told us of the coming meeting of manufacturers, wholesalers, and dealers at Colorado Springs and a similar meeting to be held in Santa Barbara. These "summit" talks by all segments of the building supply business are aimed at ironing out the rough spots in the field of merchandising. Jay reported on the educational program now under study by these groups.

Reporting on national legislation affecting our industry, Jay told of the expansion on the FHA Certified Agency Program to other areas. Of the original seven areas used for testing, Illinois did a great job and Arizona is showing real progress, with Prescott leading the nation. He urged support of legislation providing a tax deduction for home improvements, taxation of co-ops and elimination of the 3/o tax on freight.

The report was unanimously adopted and all officers and directors were elected.

From 6:00 to 7 :30 in the lobby and patio of the Hassayampa Hotel, the convention enjoyed their annual cocktail party put on through the courtesy of the Arizona Portland Cement Company. Milt Whitley, state manager, Morton J. Mansur and Hank Stanton, along with their wives, proved to be exceptional hosts.

At 8:00 p.m. the banquet was served. It was a little crowded; in fact, it ran over into another room. The steaks and service were good and Jim Killen, our Master of Ceremonies, handled the meeting like an old pro introducing the new officers. Mattie Medigovich was back again as good as ever. Ted O'Malley, who has missed a few meetings, was also back. Tom Tietz of Union Gypsum gave away giant sized martini glasses (with a drink).

Jim then called on George Ross to make the golf awards and the good-bad, and in-between golfers-both men and womenwere all identified. Howard Beals, the newly elected president, then made the presentation of a desk pen set to the outgoing president, Marvin Smith. The room was cleared and Spence Bare's orchestra struck up the band and I think it was all over about 2:00 a.m.

It was an excellent meeting-lots of fun and exercise and lots of meat in the program. If you weren't on hand, better plan to be with us next year. Same place; date, May 14, 15, 16.
