members of the Medical Society are expected to back up the attorney and the Bar Association with testimony. This does not supplement our Board of Censors, which endeavors to settle things before they are placed in the hands of an attorney. I believe this has tremendous possibilities. The results of this Panel's meetings and discussion will be placed before you, possibly at the next meeting.
Fourth, Newspaper relations. This is improved, I think, particularly with the evening paper. I believe, generally speaking, we have received good publicity during the past year.
I would like to thank all the committees for some wonderful work during the past year. The cooperation was undreamed of. I would also like to thank Dr. Steen and the other officers of the Society, the main body of the Society, and Mary. I think we have a Society of which we can be proud; certainly in comparison to the other big city in Arizona we have unity that is splendid. We have a wonderful Society, and I am proud of it. I want to thank all of you for the opportunity of being your President the past year."
