Loudspeaker (Jan-Aug 1931)

CHAPTER TWELVE INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS At a gala ceremony held at the club rocms of Chapter No. 12 the installation of the officers for 1931 took place. The newly elected officers are as follows: President Lloyd C. Litton, who was re-elected as recognition of his untiring efforts and able handling of the responsibilities of the chapter’s business during the past year. His aide-de-camp will be Frank Hester as Vice President, who has also displayed unusual talent along the same lines. Stanley Swartz will be Secretary and for Treasurer we will have our old stand-by with the asbestos fingers, George Franklin Dyer. As Sergeant-at-Arms we will have Dick Holdom. “Try and get in” was his greeting. For Board of Governors two popular brothers were installed. They are Leon Friedman and Bill Rose from Bay Farm Island. After the ceremony we all had eats and drinks and the usual lessons which happened to be on Faders. We believe the officers selected will steer our chapter well during 1931. They are real craftsmen and well suited to their positions. given to the exchange manager of theatres not conforming to the standard. If the synchronous leader becomes damaged it should be replaced with a new one. The projection Advisory council (of which I am a happy to be member) will be represented in different cities by a projectionist leader, appointed as contact man, who will work in conjunction with the film exchanges and film board of trade for the proper and harmonious maintenance of the standard — going into the field to instruct projectionists if necessary. I feel highly honored to be selected by Mr. Sidney Burton of the projection advisory council to serve you in the great drive against the mutilation of film, and to put over the standard release print in a graceful manner. CHAPTER NINETEEN TO HAVE LIBRARY San Bernardino, California, Chapter No. 19, A. P. S. has taken steps to provide each of it’s members with a complete library of projection books. A committee has been appointed by President H. E. Reynolds, to investigate the worth of the many works offered on sound, optics, projection and kindred subjects with the view of selecting those publications best suited to complete the library of an up to the minute projectionist. i i 1 CHAPTER SEVEN ENTERTAINED On the evening of January 6, 1931, the membership of California Chapter No. 7, A. P. S., was entertained by Clarence Ashcraft of the Ashcraft Automatic Arc Co. of 4214 Santa Monica Boulevard, Hollywood, Calif. A buffet lunch was served to the 106 men who were present after which Mr. Ashcraft introduced the Chapter to his newest product, which is a high intensity reflector lamp which far excells any other product of its kind yet developed. i i i "HOW TO STUDY" Concluded from page 23 explain it to others. This often brings out doubtful points you would not otherwise have thought of and gives you good practice in thinking as you talk. If you cannot explain a thing you do not understand it. Practice explaining to yourself first. See how clear you can make things. After explaining to another, review the explanation in your own mind, think how it could have been made clearer, more convincing. Following these suggestions may not make you a Lincoln or a Pupin, but it will add to your success and to your happiness, it will give you the power to think and speak more clearly and accurately, it may even put dollars in your bank account and help to keep them there.
