I am en joying my meeting with you im mensely. I prepared a speech— here it is—but I am going to put it in my pocket, and am going to talk to you straight from the shoul der. I am going to talk to you just the way I feel. I hope you will en- loy it. I think it was November 10th, 1944, when I last talked to. you on the subject of the Five-Year Club, which commemorates five years of service for all who are assembled here tonight. At that time, I think we had 269 members eligible for membership in the Five-Year Club. Today I think we have about 350. To those who have become members since that time, I extend a very hearty welcome, and I hope that you will be with us at all of our meetings, and when all of us celebrate our tenth, fifteenth, twentieth and twenty-fifth cele bration. I hope, as time passes by, that more and more will become members, and the opportunity is extended to all of you. —Toni To Pafe Fl*«
