President - FLOYD KNUDSON; Vice-p resid ent
- ARTIfUR C . WOODWARD; Se cretary-R. A.
TALBERT; Treas urer-J. C. DORSER.
This Association is having growing
pains; all the musicmen in the region
are n ow affiliated except two, and they
should be within a matter of days.
They're a bunch of real people, and it's
a pity that it could not have happened
long ago, so that Fresno and the San
Joaquin Valley, the market basket of
the United States, might have been put
on the map.
With Mrs. Phil Brown as hostess, the
Association met in Bakersfield Monday
evening, November 22, with no need for
roll call, since every member was
present. Mrs. Brown proved the perfect
hostess, forgetting nothing. There were
even venison steaks for dinner for the
b oys, and other refreshments, of course.
In reporting this, though, we warn in-
terested parties that San Joaquin Val-
ley holds all rights to Mrs. Brown, and
attempts to beg, borrow or steal her
will not be tolerated.
The business session was brief but
to the point. Joe Crappa of Madera
was admitted to membership. President
Knud son assessed the usual number of
fines , and, as is the custom, half of the
fine money was giv'e n the person whose
name was drawn out of the hat at the
end of the meeting. The dazzling
blonde secretary, Ethel Donahue of
Fresno was lucky.
Milton Lange of Glendale made one
of the finest inspirational talks the boys
and girls have had the privilege of
hearing. Thanks again, Milt; come
often.
Among those present, so far un-
named, were: Mrs. Lange; Mr. and Mrs.
Ramsey of Bakersfield; Phil Brown and
son Ted; Mr. Dock of Bakersfield; Exe-
ter's Moore and C . A. Tomlinson; Mr.
and Mrs. George Young, Selma; L.
"Dusty" Miller, Porterville; A. Metzler
and son , Fresno; Mike Johnson, Fresno;
Mr. and Mrs. Dorfelmier, Fresno; Mmes.
Knudson and Talbert; J. P. Knowles
and son, Bakersfield.
