BUSINESS AND PLEASURE
The action of Western A. P. S. Chapters, using the phrase of Mr. James J. Finn of the Motion Picture Projectionist, “Favoring Secession From the Supreme Chapter,” has apparently been responsible for much comment both pro and con by those of Eastern Chapters, as well as others in immediate contact with the profession. Secession from the parent body is farthest from the thoughts of those on the Pacific Coast. May some other just and equitable solution be reached? The Supreme Chapter is deserving of much credit for its past activities in the formation of an organization which has gained the respect and prestige of which we may be proud.
Further quoting Mr. Finn, “A prominent A. P. S. man opined that he had no objection to the transfer of the General Offices of the Society to the Coast, but that he was a bit suspicious of the very evident desire for power manifested by the Coast Chapters.” The Ways and Means Committee, comprised of representatives of Los Angeles Chapter No. 7, San Bernardino No. 19, Vancouver No. 11, San Francisco No. 16, Oakland No. 12, and the yet un-numbered chapter in San Diego, under the chairmanship of Sidney Burton, President Chapter No. 7, is striving only for the formulation of some plan under wThich all Chapters may share in the knowledge, and benefits derived by those in the heart of the industry.

The regular meeting of July 7th, at which we were favored with members of “the fair sex,” wives and sweethearts of the Brothers and in the form of a “weinie bake” on the beach at Santa Monica was a huge success. The food, consisting of “dogs” with the usual trimmings, watermelon, etc., etc., was exceptionally well received. Bro. Dave Koskoff officiating at the roasting oven proved conclusively that he sure knows his “hot dogs.” Bro. George Young was bemoaning the fact next day that he had only eaten twelve when the “boss” of the family concluded it was time to depart for home. Bro. Frank McBryde was quite in evidence “rushing the can” (not the kind of “ye olden days”) . After partaking in huge quantities of everything leading to a sleepless night many of our guests who had come prepared for the occasion threw aside the “old Spanish custom” of the Saturday night bath and bathed in the waters of the broad Pacific under a California moon. The meeting was adjourned with due formality about 4 a. m., everyone feeling that it was an evening well spent, and with the hope that another such gathering was not too far in the offing. Much credit for the success of this meeting is due Mrs. Rex Brown and Mrs. Frank McBryde, who so capably prepared and served the food. May we offer our sincerest thanks.
