South west district meeting establishes record attendance

AN OUTSTANDING MEETING of the South West District was held in Dallas, Tex., April 2–4, 1956, establishing an all-time attendance record of 1,230 for district meetings. The previous record of 900 was set by a Great Lakes Regional Meeting in Chicago, Ill., November 28–30, 1927. The success of the meeting may be attributed to a well-arranged program built around the theme, “Electricity in Aircraft,” combined with an exhibit of the latest airborne electrical apparatus, components, and support items. Eight technical sessions on aircraft were held together with a number of sessions in the light and power field, several industrial sessions, and a management panel. The Student Branch Conference and prize paper competition, a General Session, two luncheon meetings, inspection trips, a dinner-dance, and special entertainment arrangements for the ladies rounded out the program.
