The February meeting of the Greenkeepers
Club of N. E. was held at the Hotel Bradford in
Boston, Monday, January 30.
Francis Malone, Greenkeeper at the Blue
Hill Country Club was elected an associate member.
James Morrison, chairman of the Convention
Bureau of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
spoke on some of the registration details he would
handle for the National Turf Conference and
Show, February 6 to 10, at the Hotel Statler in
Boston.
Committees reported on progress of the show
and later developments proved their confidence
justified.
Nov/ to the National Turf Conference and
Show! Before naming the highlights of the Conference if you would like a copy of the educational
talks send your request to A. M. Brown, P.O. Box
106, St. Charles, Illinois. This book will cost $2.00
and will take about seven to eight weeks to reach
you.
The Educational program was well balanced
and received fine support. The Equipment show
was admittedly the best in 21 years of the show
and its success was due to the generous support of
local exhibitors. (We should support them whenever possible during the season.)
The visiting ladies were enthusiastic in their
praise of the program offered them. The visits to
historic spots were a real treat to people from out
of town.
Our Wednesday evening Dinner and Show
was well attended and a bright spot on the program.
Valuable publicity was received from the
Press.

In short, this the 21st National Turf Conference and Show was a success and will be used
as a yard-stick in setting the standards of future
shows.
In case you have forgotten who the local
chairmen were, please remember the following
and give them a pat on the back for a job
well done:
Horner Darling, Educational; Frank Wilson,
Arthur Anderson, Local Exhibits; A. J. Sperandio,
Ladies Entertainment; Howard Farrant, Entertainment; Samuel S. Mitchell, Harold Mosher,
Publicity; William F. Mitchell, Arthur Cody,
Elmer Fuller, Welcoming; Theodore Swanson,
Transportation; Manuel Francis, Wm. McBride,
Booth.
Remember the untiring efforts of our Secretary, Narry Sperandio and the cooperation of our
Treasurer, Jack Counsell.
Yes, we can be proud of our efforts but
let's keep going in the same direction by contacting eligible greenkeepers for membership in the
Greenkeepers Club of New England. Our present
representation in the National Greenkeeping
Supts. Association is 411.
The March meeting will be held, Monday,
March 6, at the Hotel Bradford in Boston at
1:30 P.M.
There will be Committees appointed by President Mosher for the coming year. Manny Francis,
Entertainment Committee Chairman, has an interesting feature to present.
As usual, dealers will be invited to this meeting.
Don't forget the dates of the Turf Conference
at the University of Massachusetts, March
10 and 11.
