annual meeting, Carlton H. Foster, president of Dunphy Boats, emphasized thi vital importance of all wood-boat builders giving their support to the organization.

He pbinted out the need for strong factual publicity t-o educate the boat-buying public to the superior advantages o{ wood construction in- boafs. He emphasized particularly that he wanted it clearly understood that the Wood Boat Foundation welcomed progr-ess, new ideas, and new developments. -And he concluded itrat the greatest progress in the boating industry had been made and -was still being made through wood construction.

Also at the meeting, a slate of officers was elected as follows:

Mr. Foster-president; A. H. Frost, general sales matager of United States Plywood-vice-president, and Russell Switzer, president of Switzercraft Boats-secretary-tr€as_urer. These officers, assisted by Alan T. Mann, manager of the Wood Boat Foundation, 185 N. Wabash Avenue, Chicago, will guide the association through the coming year.

The slogan adopted by the organization-"Wood, always naturally best for boats-now better than ever," expresses the intent of the Wood Boat Foundation to promote the natural advantages of wood for boats, plus the new developments being brought forth by modern wood chemistry.

The organization opened its advertising campaign with a twopage ad in trade publications entitled, "Why wood is still unsurpassed for boats." Reprints are available upon request at Wood Boat Foundation headquarters. Future plans include advertisements in consumer publications, point-of-sale materials for dealers, and a wood development research information program.

Membership in the Wood Boat Foundation is open to woodboat builders and their suppliers-including manufacturers of plywood, lumber, paints, hardware, and wood-treatment products.
