for $1.00."

McCollum: "Shouldn't the price of a full set of reports be raised? They
are sold at the same price now as they were a number of years ago.
Several volumes have been added. I believe the price should be
increased."

Prof. Slate: "Some years go out of print about as soon as new ones come
along."

Dr. Rohrbacher: "I move we sell our current and last year's report at
$2.00 per copy."

Second by Mr. Silvis.

Mr. Corsan: "Nut enthusiasts and nut groups haven't the slightest
hesitancy in parting with $2.00."

Member: "A non-member paying $2.00 for the annual report would
automatically become a member."

J. Russell Smith: "I would like to recommend that if at all possible an
index be included in each volume of our report as it is published. A
volume like this has 50 or 75 different articles but no mention in the
title reveals the content of the article which makes it a job to try to
refer back to or use these reports for reference. An index would make
them much more valuable. This is not a job for the Secretary, it is a
technical job. I would like to make a motion, if the Executive Committee
finds it feasible, that this be done."

Second by Mr. Silvis.

Dr. Colby: "Don't you think that index should begin with the volume Dr.
Deming finished? I suggest that the executive Committee arrange for
compiling of the index subsequent to and including 1940."

Mr. Corsan: "I would like to suggest that the nut exhibit be left at
O.A.C. permanently because of the large number of visitors who come here
and who would see it. This would help to increase our membership."

Dr. Crane: "I move we accept the report of the Committee and suggested
changes be voted on item by item."

Mr. Silvis: "Second."

The question of whether the entire Constitution and By-Laws should be
read at this meeting or mimeographed and mailed to each member was
considered.

Prof. Slate: "I move the Constitution be taken up now."

Dr. Colby: "Second."

The motion was carried. Dr. MacDaniels read the Constitution and By-Laws
and they will be voted on at the 1948 meeting.

J. Russell Smith: "I move that '10 days' notice for change in the
Constitution be changed to '30 days'."

Seconded by Mr. Silvis.
