tion of raising the dues. The idea came up
about hiring a man, but after talking it
over they wondered if the right kind of a
man could be secured under the condition
of taking a gamble.
The amendment to the motion was sec
onded by Mr. Morelock.
Mr. Query thought routine work was
preventing Mr Stewart from making out
side contacts and it seemed to him the As*-
sociation already had a man in the person
of Stewart, trained and fundamentally
sound in contacting employees, one who
knew the program from the ground up.
Why not get an assistant to Mr. Stewart to
take the load off him in the office, it should
be easy to get someone for office detail.
Miss Jaynes said she wondered if there
was not some confusion in their minds as
to what was wanted. Wasn’t the thing that
was taking his time—the service expected
of him in finding members, contacting de
partments, carrying out resolutions and so
forth, the true routine?
Mr. Stewart remarked that Miss Brima-
combe had taken a lot of the office work
from his shoulders, but that in connection
with the per diem question alone, he would
have to contact every department which
had men in the field, and things like that
take plenty of time.
Miss Jaynes said if the members were
not opposed to gambling on this matter,
why not employ a good man on the mem
bership. Would they consider the possibil
ity of just holding their gains at the pres
ent time, holding these things in abeyance
—such as further action on the resolutions,
etc.—and instructing Mr. Stewart to employ
his time for the next three or four months
on the membership drive. If that is the
thinking of the Board that it is vital to the
life blood of the Association, wouldn’t it be
better to let things stand and make a con
certed membership drive?
Mr. White said he believed the Associa
tion was on the road to recovery; that the
serious problem hit sometime back and if
the Association can show a gain in member
ship, which is definitely the case, and with
this cost of living increase to hold the state
employees, it might solve the problem with
out too much of a gamble, if Forrest Stew-
are can concentrate on membership until
August or September. He said he did not
know where the money would come from if
the Association didn’t make good, as the
Board had just voted a $20 increase to the
Association’s employees. He said he won
dered if Miss Jaynes didn’t have a good
thought and suggested that some data be
put in the hands of each chapter so it
could go out and secure new members. He
mentioned that on the 21st he and Mr.
Stewart would go to Portland to help the
Liquor Control Commission Chapter reor
ganize.
Miss Jaynes said she believed that if the
Board determined her suggestion was the
best solution at the moment and Mr. Stew
art was to spend his energy for 90 to 120
days on membership, that the Board must
