FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK

First of all, I wish to thank the membership for
re-electing me as your president for the coming year. I will
do all I can to uphold the dignity of the office and help
further the good of our Association for a better and more
organized group of Superintendents.

I know that the officers that you have elected to
help me will cooperate, the same as they did last year.

At the National Turfgrass Conference your newly elected
National President, Paul Weiss, spoke of having a larger per—
centage of local members Join the National Association. I
agree 100% and think that those not yet members of the national
association should give it some serious thought.

From Mr. Weiss's remarks, he said, "The strength of
the United States of America lies in the unity of the local
states with the national organization under the Constitution.
How weak our country would be as an unorganized group of
individual states. The weakness of our National Association
lies in the unorganized group of local associations, each
performing splendid work in their own back yards.”

The President named the following committees for this year:

Program Committee: Nick Florio and James O'Gibney
Educational Committee: Joseph Malikowski and
Ralph Engel
Golf Committee: Alfred Caravella, Floyd Staats, and
John Fallen
Reception Committee: Sherwood Moore, Jack Ormond and
Bill Monahan
Flower Committee: William Riley, Albert Doggett,
T. George Conley, Robert Wiley,
and M. D. Crawfordo

MEETING NOTICE: Tuesday, March 12, 1957
PLACE: Metuchen Golf and Country Club
HOST: Charles Laing

Golfing for the snowbirds will be permissible.

Business meeting at 5 o'clock with dinner served at 6 o'clock.

Our speaker for the evening will be Dr. Raymond Korbobo of
Rutgers University, whose topic will be Landscape Plantings and

the Care of Shrubs. We are coming to the time of year when this
talk will be of value to all Superintendents.
