Mrs. Williom C. Johnson except transportation, to and from Supreme 9 meetings. This has been costly for a Supreme 9 member to travel throughout his jurisdiction to do a good job. At the Supreme 9 meeting in St. Louis, we passed a new rule that a member of the Supreme 9 will be allowed expenses up to $200 for each term of office, for intra-jurisdictional promotional work. The Snark of the lJniverse is permitted more if necessary; however, last year John Dolcater did 'not present an expense bill.

Hoo-Hoo is an international, fraternal order devoted exclusively to the interest of the lumber industry, promoting the use of forest products. Hoo-Hoo is the oldest industrial fraternal order in the world. We believe it to be the only industrial order of its type.

Marry other large industries would desire such a fraternal order, where all parts of their industry could meet regularly on common ground. Our next convention will be our 65th annual, which will be held in San Francisco Ssptember 16-19, 1956, at the Fairmont hotel. Our convention chairman has been working for months to make this the biggest and best yet. Early this year special convention railway cars were being made up in different parts of the country to travel to San Francisco, to attend this convention. There are many wonderful plans in store for you.

Also, we have planned a tour of the Redwoods, to see a large redwood tree dropped. Also one topped, and a luncheon in a sawmill cook house. If you have not had an opportunity to see a show in the redwoods of this nature, you don't know what you have missed, and this would be worth the trip to the Pacific Coast in itself. Plan now to attend our convention in San Francisco.

And how is it determined when and where the convention will be held ? Traditionally, we hold our convention on the 9th day of the 9th month, but this has now been changed to the 3rd rveek in September, with 19th of the month of September as the focal date, thus preserving the 9 tradition. With our convention now later in the month, we hope more wives will be able to attend, as this date will not interfere with the opening of school. It is interesting to note that the wives of our Hoo-Hoo brothers shol,v more and more interest in our conventions, and this interest is largely responsible for bigger and better conventions. Individual clubs bid for the convention, and this is usually done 3 or 5 years in advance. They will be: 1956, San Francisco; 1957, Atlanta; 1958, St. Louis; 7959, Las Vegas; 1960, Seattle.

It takes a lot of work and money to hold a convention. In fact, it takes approximately $20,000 in donations to properly do a good job. This is no easy task to collect. Our convention usually lasts three days, with precision scheduling for both men's and women's activities. We have the fun side and the serious side for members, as well as mixed meetings with the ladies. The highlight of our convention is the Concatenation, or initiation. One and one-half days are devoted to serious meetings, wherein each one of the 9 members of the Supreme 9 gives a report on activities of his jurisdiction during the past year. lfe, in turn, calls on each club delegate in his jurisdiction to report on their club activities and their particular club project, of benefit to the lumber industry.

In this way, many good ideas are exchanged for the interest and betterment of Hoo-Hoo. In between these
