TO BE OR NOT TO BEProgress is not a sunplc jumping" forward now and again and then

remaining static, but a slow, sure movement forward all of the time.This is what (lUI' 2/2 Association wants, and must have, to keep alive,and really In the true sense. progress.

l Iow c.ui this be achieved? Good hard work ers l Yes! we havethem, hilt even this small majority can work and work and still .iu:-Ikeep t he Ass(1ci:llion's head above water only and not progress toany great degree. There is one way anti then! must be many rnorewilling helpers :111d the CUl11J11iltec would welcome any number ofsuggesti()1is-one is to give per medium of lelter to the Editor whatyou think and how it can be achieved-illljlrovcl1lcnts-solllethingnew-something (JI(I-anylhing to start a new train of thought. Suchsuggestions as "Should mo th er-iu-laws be includeci in u r Ladies'Night", etc.-:i11 gives one ground for sorncthin g new to think aboutand when you st ar l thinking then you get doing-then you may startp~rogre.)ssing. As some famous "Goon" said-c:ln't remember hisname or whet.h er his mother and Iat her eventually married, but,"Kn()wkd)Se is po\Vcr!"-i.e. Think a bit and you'll get On in life.

We find as a Committee we have much to do, think about, discussand tear each suggestion apart, hilt now anti again a slight leudeucyis a drying up of ideas-however Slight this may be, it's had-so abright idea to get suggestions from one aud cve ryo ne will liberateus to progress.

Even if it develops into just a suggestion box-with just a fewlines on paper, believe you me, fellows, it will be more than welcome,

As Will Shakespeare said: "Pull your skull in mate", doesn't nowapply-let your cruet give forth on any ideas, ideals, whim or wor-

J r ics by way of a letter to the Editor and something may be achieved.
