Instructor J. C. Jackson the
host. Gus Jones, superintendent
of Area III, presided over the
meeting.
Election of officers, the pro-
gram of work and a discussion
of the Area III show formed
the chief business for the day.
Randolph was successful in hav-
ing two of its members named
as district officers: Dalton
Hughes as president and John
Kimble, treasurer.
Each instructor was given
time to discuss some of his
more important work. The
Randolph department discussed
a chapter conducting contest

created much interest in the
department.
be no'satisfaction in it if you
could, at least that’s the way I
find it with mine. When I look
back over the past five years
and figure up the amount of
money I’ve taken in, and then
try to figure out where it went,
I throw up my hands and turn
on the radio and get some mu-
sic. It would take more than a
new President and a new Cong-
ress to figure out where my
money went, although it would
not be not trouble at all to es-
tablish the fact it was gone,
the same as in the cast of the
United States.
I never realized Congress was
in the same boat I was, but if
it has spent 50 billion dollars
and can’ tremember where it
all went, I feel a lot better.
Don’t know that the country is
gonna be a lot better off with
the knowledge that me and
Congress both can’t keep track
of our money, but personally
it’s a great satisfaction to me
to know I’m right up with the
top level, financially speakin.
Yours faithfully,

past five years-on defense and
“no one has yet given us the
answer to where the $50,000,-

His solution was to get rid
of the present Congress
President and get a set

I ain’t no expert, I work for a
llvin whenever I have one, but
I’m afraid he’s barkin up the
wrong tree, as a new set would
not have a better answer than
the old one.
From my experience, after
the money is spent, there ain’t
much way of figurin out where
it went and probably wouldn’t
