Mr. Keith, after retiring, again advanced to the front of the stage and said: I wish to say, as President of the Southern Pine Associa tion, that we greatly appreciate the presence in our midst today of our brothers from the other branches of the industry, and we wish to extend to them our cordial welcome. The Chairman: NO matter how brilliant the chief of staff, or how far - reaching the president, he must have a field manage ment. The Southern Pine Association is exceedingly fortunate in being able to command the services of Mr. John E. Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes came to the Southern Pine Association with years of training, and success immediately followed his Service banner. It is going to be my pleasure to introduce Mr. Rhodes to you, but this introduction will serve only to introduce Mr. Rhodes to you, and not you to Mr. Rhodes. I would like very much if all of you, some time during the meeting, would take time to go to Mr. Rhodes and introduce yourselves to him and assure him that you are back of him in the great work he is endeavoring to do for the Yellow Pine industry. Mr. Rhodes! (applause)
