Six Divisions Formed The most far-reaching of the resolutions dealt with departmentalization of the organization along functional lines. Six divisions were established, to facilitate “specific, self-activated functioning in the (1) library, (2) distributor, (3) laboratory, (4) producer, (5) equipment manufacturer and dealer, and (6) pro.iection-service fields respectively, and for any other special-interest groups within the organization which the future may define.” These “self contained and self-regulating divisions,” open to any and all ANFA members, are to formulate codes of ethics and standards of performance for their own respective fields, all to be co-ordinated by the directors into a composite code that is to govern the Association and its members. New Board Meets At the close of the convention an inaugural “no speech” luncheon was held, for members only. An open meeting of the combined old and new directors and officers immediately followed. The Board decided to continue Wilfred L. Knighton as Executive Secretary. Division chairmen were nominated : Ed Stevens (libraries), Sam Goldstein (distributors), H. 0. Jones (equipment and dealers), G. H. Cole (pro,jection services), Saul Jeffe (laboratories), Tom Brandon and Fletcher Smith (producers) . Committee to revise bylaws— Stan Atkinson, with authority to select co-members. Committee o n collaboration with NAVED— W. F. Kruse, Bertram Willoughby, R. A. Cousino, R. F. O’Neil, W. K. Hedwig. For the next convention nominations are to be prepared by a committee charged with the responsibility of finding candidates well-qualified to represent the various divisions and to fill the offices.

Kruse, Merriman Holtz ; Committee on Government Relations — T. J. Brandon, H. 0. Jones, W. L. Brady ; Publicity Committee, to be headed by president with authority to select co-members.

The next meeting of the ANFA directors is scheduled for Saturday, August 3rd, 10 A. M., at Continental Hotel, Chicago, .just prior to the NAVED convention. At the banquet, which jammed the Grand Ballroom of Hotel New Yorker, Orton H. Hicks, of Loew’s International, served as Toastmaster. Highlights of the brief after-dinner program were the presentation of a parting gift and a distinguished-service plaque to the retiring president, Horace 0. Jones, and the inaugural address of president-elect Kruse. This convention and trade show is reported to have stimulated considerable new interest and enthusiasm among the ANFA membership, which, coupled with the broader connections represented by the Film Council of America and the PICC, is expected to extend the inllueiice and membership of the organization.
