Abstract :
IN presenting this talk, I am fulfilling a provision in the constitution of the Institute which says that the president “… shall deliver an address at an annual convention.” At the outset I want to express for the other officers and directors, and for myself, appreciation and gratitude for the enormous amount of voluntary effort put forth by the members on behalf of the Institute. I want especially to commend Mr. Henline and his associates on the headquarters staff for their effective and constructive work during the past year, and for the gracious manner in which they have met the demands of officers and members alike.
