that I shall eventually decide to favor one or more of the very projects which I did not wish to see endorsed without more mature consideration. When Miss Jordan has had a few more years of experience, she will learn that it is sometimes well to stop and think. However, her comment has led me to change my mind about going to Cleveland, where these important matters will be settled. I will work with the committee faithfully, and will give my reasons for favoring some amendments and opposing others, as well as offering what suggestions I can of my own, and will then leave the ultimate decision to those present at the Cleveland convention, without appearing there in person as one regarded as a chronic objector; and of course, I shall accept cheerfully whatever that convention decides, and do all I can to make any new order it may institute successful. So Miss Jordan may feel relieved, in that she will not be troubled by my presence or my objections at the next convention.
   Editor's Note--The above article is printed in full, as written. It was with heavy heart that the concluding sentences were put in type. Mr. Morton represents the finest type of amateur journalist. By his unswerving devotion to our cause, he has endeared himself to all who know him. Elizabeth Jordan, in a bit of convention patter appearing in Walk One Flight, and which no doubt was intended as humor without thought of giving offense, touched on Mr. Morton's activities at the recent Philadelphia convention, which was of a "safety valve" character, whose sole purpose was to promote full discussion on proposed amendments.
   Miss Jordan, one of our younger members, attending her first convention, probably missed the point, and saw only the vigilant Morton arising to "object."
   It is devoutly hoped that Mr. Morton will reconsider, and not fail us when Cleveland calls the faithful in '41. A convention without him will not seem the same. He will be missed alike by old friends and new.
