Members of the Society should note that these committees are their committees. Some of these committees deal with very general and all-important problems. They desire to serve as clearing houses and are anxious to have suggestions and thoughts from individual members. Send your sug­gestions to the chairman of the committee. There is no committee so able or repre­sentative that it cannot profit by the indi­vidual ideas of the membership.
