Legal Systems and Judicial Processes

Judlging by the way our "In" basket is always full and by the continuous sound of Mrs. Brown's typewriter, I would say things have been rather hectic here for the past three months.As well as trying to find and measure the pulse of the Institute, I have endeavored to carry on the everyd~ay business of the office without interruption.Varying results have been derived from these efforts, but the general trend shows definite improvement and' for this I thank all who have given advice on the various problems encountered.The Addressograph system has now been installed and we are preparing for our first full scale mailing.Mrs. Brown is becoming very adept at operating the Graphotype machine, w'hich prints new plates for those whose addresses have changed since the original Plates were made last month.We believe that this set-up will realize substantial savings and will also make our operation much more efficient as membership and activities increase.Through the conscientious efforts of Mr. Ken 'Heamden, we now have the new By-Laws booklet printed and distribution to all members will occur very soon.This year the Institute "Code of Ethics" will be published in the Supplement rather than tucked away at the back of the By-Laws booklet.Since assuming my new duties I have remained close to the office, with the exception of trips to Toronto, and North Bay, Ontario and Granby, Quebec.I n Toronto I attended a Planning Committee meeting for the 1964 Annual Meeting, sand visited the Ontario Forestry Association and the Imperial Life Assurance Company.North Bay was the scene of the Ontario Professional Foresters Association Annual Meeting and at Granby I spoke to a tremendous gathering of parents and students at their Career Night.I 'also attended Annual Meetings of the Canadian Lumbermen's Association and the Canadian Tree Farmers Association.In January a questionnaire was sent to 'all Past and Present adtvertisers, as well as to a large number of possible future advertisers, in an effort to find out why the Chronicle is not a popular advertising media.A second reason for the survey was to provide us with enough information to set up a card system on advertisers and thus ease the onerous job of soliciting for each issue of the Chronicle.To date we have had enthusiastic response to our survey, and it is hoped that the quality and quantity of advertising in the Chronicle will improve in the future.Plans for the 1964 C.I.F.
