The Hoo-Hoo Conventioneer 66IIREE TINIE" at a convention is always r a problem for strangers in town.

This year's host chapter for the ?4th annual convention of the International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, the Salt River Valley Hoo-Hoo Club, has given the matter serious consideration.

Convention chairman Jay O'Malley says, "In planning the activities schedule for visiting lumbermen and their wives who will gather at Mountain Shadows resort hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the September 19-22 roundup, we have researched 'things-to-do' which will interest those with time on their hands. Althoueh Phoenix and Scortsdale are richly significant in the history of the West, they have grown into thriving metropolitan centers, while still maintaining an informal resort atmosphere.

"The climate and scenery lend themselves to outdoor living and sightseeing, and both communities are senerouslv endowed with worthwhile points of interest ranging frorn Indian ruins to branches of the world's most exclusive shops."

O'Malley has assigned a committee under the direction of James "Woody" Clark to prepare a hospitality kit for each guest. The kit will offer suggestions for tours, scenic spots and places with a distinctly Vestern flavor.

"W'ithin minutes of the hotel, a conventioneer may discover the prehistoric Indian ruins of Pueblo Grande, where he may watch actual excavations going on; or South Mountain Park, largest municipal park in the world, covering over l4 thousand acres of mountain and desert land; or the beautiful Mormon Temple in Mesa, one o{ only 13 such temples in the world; or the Desert Botanical Gardens-one of the world's largest-growing exotic plants from all arid regions. Instead, he may simply enjov touring one of our huge date gardensorange groves or rose gardcns; or marvel at the forests of h u g e Saguaro cactus," Clark said.
