More than 250 delegates and visitors were present. The weather was ideal for golf and baseball and quoits, plaved on the grounds at the club.

Following the routine business, Edward H. Christ of this city was elected president of the affiliated state exchange clubs. This is the fi time that a local man has held this office. Mr. Christ iz & charter member of the New Britain club and has been recog- nized as a diligent worker for the past few years. He was second vice president for the past year of the state organization. Tthe banquet was held at 7:30 in the evening. The. members were eated in the ball room of the club and In two adjoining rooms. ¥ol- lowing the dinner, five acts of vau- deville were given. ‘Memorial to Deceased Members Due to the illness of Rev. S8amuel A, Fiske of Berlin, who was to ha been toastmaster, Rev. Samuel Su clifte acted in that capacity. Carry- ing out a resolution adopted in the afternoon meeting, & minute of silence was observed for members of the clubs who had passed away dur- ing the past year. President Herbert F. Woods of the ‘New Britain club delivered the ad- dress of welcome to the visitors, thanking them for their cooperation in making the convention a success. ‘The visltors were welcomed to the city by Ralph A. Benson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. Other civic organizations of the city also were represented, and expressed their gratitud the Exchange club for the cooperation between the clubs. The Kiwanis, Lions, Probus, and Retary clubs were represented. Ansel A. Packard, retiring state president, spoke on the need of unity between the Exchange branches. He has done, much to promote the spirit of friendship and visiting between the local chapters. Last fall he donated an emblem, to be presented each year to the club doing most toward developing the feeling of brotherhood among the clubs of the state. This was award- ed. to the Meriden Exchange club. The emblem is in the shape of & shield and is engraved with the E: change club seal. New President Speaks Mr. Christ, newly elected state Ppresident, spoke on the motto of t! Exchange club, “Unity for Service, Stating. that the Individual Ex- changeite was a part of the local, state and national organization, and as such it was his duty to promote .the interest of the club at all times, 1o keep in touch with the affairs of the state and national clubs and to live .up to the requirements of the constitution of the Exchange club. ‘The main speaker of the evening -—wes . Greene of California, national president. He ed that “he was greatly impressed by the de- velopment and business in the state «and in New Britain. Earlier in the ®day he visited several of the local ® factories and points of interest in &the city. His speech was as fol- lo\ : - President’s Address ‘ President Greene spoke as follows: f the various objectives of the -\-uom Exchange club, I am par- ® ticularly impressed with our ae- complishments in the advancement = of aviation, child welfare, and tax @ reduction; in fact, had it not been ® for the good that we are accom- plishing with the child life in this @ country. I never should have allow- ® ed myself to have become an officer Sin Exchange. as I think that our vork with the young people is the most important work that we are ur aviation activities are par- = ticularly confined to making the @ land safe for the aviators and while o1 do not have the exact figures to ate, I can say that on February irst of this year, fifty-nine Ex- hange clubs were directly respon- ible for presenting to their com- .munmu adequate landing fields, -nnd seventy-one other Exchange 2 clubs were planning such a move- = ment. Many clubs have lettered heir communities, so that fiyers will know over what towns they were flying. and quite a few bea- | ons have been added to the already = established emergency landing flelds. * "1 cannot tno strongly urge = necessity for quick action in estab- | = lishing adequate landing fields. so | =1 urge each Club that is in a city | -'hll has no airport or landing ficld o immediately take the initiative | nd see that one is established as| - loon as possible. This will place your | = community on the air map and will | ‘e NOt Only be an aid to fiyers who may be in trouble, to have a safe lace on which to land, but it will ave the effect of bringing these | = communities on the regular air mail | = routes. Since our last national con- : vention, the Exchange clubs = threughout the United States have | = made such wonderful strides in | “ their efforts to aid aviation that the | T aecretary of commerce has taken of- w ficial notice of our efforts. = Helping Underprivilezed Children = “Child welfare work necessarily the | of Exchange Clubs privileged children, either the de- formed and misshapea or the un- der-nourished childrensof poor par- ents. In this work, I feel that we are most h8Ipful and a large ma- Jority of our clubs are doing ex- cellent work along these lines. “It stands to reason that a child who is allowed to grow up misshap- en and deformed, has a crippled mind which tends toward the crim- inal activities, but these same chil- dren, given the chance to grow up as normal human beings, will de- velop normal minds and become good citizens. The same thing ap- plies to the under-nourished child; if the child is not given proper nourishment to build up its body, its brain does not develop along healthy lines and this tends to swell the criminal class, whereas the child, if given proper hourish- ment, builds a proper brain and eventually makes a good citizen. “Past National President, Dr. George Sabichi, is chairman of the Tax Reduction Committee and 1 am particularly proud of ¢ghe work that has been accomplished through the hard work of Dr. Sabichi and his committee. Twa years ago, the Doc- tor spent four months in Washing- ton and he was instrumental in having the Gift Tax removed from the Federal Inheritance Tax and brought about a substantial reduc- tion in the Federal Inheritance Tax. During the past two years Dr. Sa- bichi has been working on tax ad- justment in California and 1 feel privileged to be one of his com- mittee-men and to have been allow- ed to work with him, even though he has done practically all the work himself, and has put over in Cali- fornia a very substantial reduction in taxes of various kinds. For de- tailed information regarding his work in California, I will refer you to an article to be published in the July issue of the ‘Exchangite.’ What Membership Means “Members of your clubs will probably askR the question, ‘What am I, personally, to get out of my membership in the Exchange club? My answer to that question is that not only has he the satjsfaction of knowing that he is one of a body of men that is actually contributing something to his community, but he s meeting every week with a bunch of good fellows, whose friendship is well worth having, and the good fellowship that you have in your club meetings is something that you cannot get in any other way. It stands to reason that a man having & large number of friends, becomes more valuable to his employer, or, if he be an owner of a business, the more business he will do, and 1 am satisfied that you will find, as oth- er clubs have, that the business men who are members of the club and are competitors will find that their- competitors are pretty good fellows after all, and while compe- tition will be keen, it will be friend- ' NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1929, £ ————— - 1y and there will be no malioe. “Each club should take out a membership in its local Chamber of Commerce and should co-operate with that body in every possible way for the upbuilding of the com- munity, They should also co-oper- ate with the Mayor and City Coun- cil, helping them with the many problems that they have, and they should particularly commend their city officials when they have done a good job. “On April 1 of this year, there was beld s meeting of executives from ail the service clubs in this country and during the meeting, President Hoover gave the delegates an audience and gave this message to the delegates to be broadcast to lall service gien in this country. It {s a particularly strong appeal and I take pleasure in giving it to you at this time: was particularly pleased to have your request for this confer- ence because I have for you a very definite message. I regard your ser- vice clubs as offering a remarkable medium through which the gregari- ous man of today is able to clear his views and unite his efforts in a common service. I feel that you have a great opportunity for in- fluencing and shaping public epin- ion in the direction of constructive. good. **There I8 a sinister influency ahroad in our country today, an in- fluence which tends to disrespect and disregard all law. Men are dis- posed to select laws that are agree- able and obey them and lawas that are not agreeable and not obey them. It is most important that it be no longer fashionable to disobey and disregard the laws of the land, —and I do not refer especially to the Eighteenth Amendment. *“‘And s0 I would charge you with the responsibility of conveying to your membership and through your membership to the citisens at large the need for a united support of our laws and I would further charge you, that each of you so live in your private lives that you will become an example to your fellow citizens.’ " Billy B. Van, of the Pine Tree Products Co.,, gave an interesting and humorous talk on the products of his company. Commercial Artist Dead in New York New York, June 12 M—Clarence F. Underwood, widely known com- mercial artist, died last night at Flower hospital, a few hours after he collapsed at his studio. He was 58 years old. His drawings, particularly of women, appeared in magazines and billboards throughout the country. He was credited with being the first in 1926 to include women in cigarette advertising and originated the slogan. “I'd walk a mile for a camel.” He was born in Jamestown, N. Y., and studied in London and Paris. He gained fame during the World War by posters he made for the war department and the Red Cross. He 18 survived by a wife, a son and two daughters. WARNER WEATHER AID 0 HARDWARE Yialty Retus {0 Trae, K| Teady Reporied Good New York, * June 12—Warmer temperatures, as it was expected. have brought back the much desir- ed vitality to the hardware trade of the country, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly market sum- mary. While activity in spring merchandise has been fairly satls. factory all along, weather condi- tions have served to prolong the demand for thig class of merchan- dise, due to lateness in getting to work on the land, and at present there is a steady call for items nceded for this work. The crop outlook in general is very ‘bright, and optimism in this regard is already reflected in con- sumer demand. The steel industry continues for the present at good volume, as was predicted earlier in the season. Other industrial factors are maintaining a good level of ac- tivity at present. Prices are mainly steady and col- lections are improving.
