Hoo-Hoo Reorganizing Meeting to be Held At Minneapolis, August 19-20

Harry T. Kendall, chairman of the Reorganization Committee of Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, in a letter to members under date of July 2l announces that the time has come to consider reorganizing the Order for active participation in the affairs for which it was created, and for this purpose the committee has arranged for a conference to be held at the Radisson Hotel, Minneapolis, Minn., August 19-20. Mr Kendall's letter follows:

"During the last five years this committee, with the contributions and support of over 1300 members resident in every state of the union, Canada and foreign countries, has kept sufticient life in the Order of Hoo-Hoo that compromise settlements have been made with all creditors willing to settle, all beneficiaries whose present address is known and all salary claimants. During that time 190 new members have been enrolled in the Order. In fact, the first objective of this committee- liquidating old obligations of the Order, has been accomplished.

"The time has now come to consider reorganizing the Order for active participation in the affairs for which it was created. To each and every member, old and new, there is now given an opportunity to have a voice in this undertaking.

"For this purpose, your committee has arranged for a conference to be held at the Radisson Hotel, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Friday and Saturday, August nineteenth and twentieth, to consider:

(1) Shall the Order be continued?

(2) What shall be.the form of organization?

(3) What service shall it seek to give the lumber industry ?

"We realize that all of the members cannot be present at this conference. You can, however:

(1) Let us have your individual ideas and suggestions by letter or wire.

(2) Talk this over with other Hoo-Hoo in your community and arrange to have one of your number present to express your wishes. All Hoo-Hoo Clubs, Lumbermen's Clubs and Lumber Associations should arrange to send accredited representatives.

"The individual members of this committee believe there is a definite place for Hoo-Hoo in the lumber industry. If this is the sentiment of your representatives at this conconference and a working plan can be agreed upon, we should like to start the new Hoo-Hoo year September 9, 1938, building along the lines of your combined ideas and purposes.

"Please let us have your reservation as early as possible and your suggestions in time for consideration at the conference."

In addition to Mr. Kendall, the members of the Reorganization Committee include T. M. Partridge, treasurer; Sam L. Boyd, T. T. Jorres, W.M.Wattson and Ormie C. Lance. The Committee headquarters are at 742 Lumber Exchange, Minneapolis, Minn.
