Dear Mr. Dalston:
It gives me great pleasure to notify you formally that at .t he 32nd
Annual Meeting of tbe National Council, Boy Scouts of Amerioa, held in
St. Paul, May 15th and 16th, you were unanimously re-elected as a Member
at Large of the National Council, Boy Scouts of America..
Our meeting in St. Paul was an outstanding success. From everywhere
we have received enthusiastic comments attesting to the values of the
various sessions and especially the group discussions. All were largely
attended and revealed evidenoe of intelligent understanding of the many
outstanding problems of the Boy Scouts of America and our magnificent·
opportunity for service to our country in its all-out War Program. The
splendid messages from President Head, Dr. Howard McClusky, Bishop Sheil
e.nd Governor Stassen, as well as others, were most stimulating.
You have received a copy of SCOUTING giving you an account of the
Annual Meeting sessions. Attached is a copy of &amp; very -e ncouraging letter
from the President of the United States.
You will be glad to know that we are receiving many fine letters ot
appreciation from Government authorities for services being rendered by
Soouts in the War effort.
It will be a pleasure to receive from you at any time suggestions or
comments on any phase of Scouting.
Yours for Viotory through Unity and Work
BOY SCOUTS OF AKERICA
