ing speak on the subject, "Co-operation
in Industry."

are based on the philosophy of
how to get ahead of the other fel

with him. "This is as true in the
United States as it is in the rest
of the world, and is followed by
mosst of our preent day indus
tries," he stated.
Dean Green stressed that he
was not against competition or
free enterprise, but that industry
should strive for the development
of the individual not only in the
technical aspect, but in all other
social and cultural aspects.
Officiating at the meeting were
Chairman Jim Jenson, Co-Chairman
Keith Newhouse and Hon
orable Chairman J. K. Ludwick
