The Laboratory Section did not elect officers at this meeting. If the 1954 annual meeting is held in one of the larger cities they will elect officers, otherwise they will probably meet with the sanitarians section again and will not elect officers.

Mr. Williams congratulated the new section officers

A telegram received from the City of Winslow, inviting the Arizona Public Health Association to meet there next year, was read by President Williams.

The meeting was turned over to Miss Jefferson I. Brown, the new, President.

The Association expressed a vote of thanks to the out going officers

Miss Brown announced that there would be a meeting of the new Executive Committee immediately following, this session.

There being no further business to come before the Association, the Twenty-third Annual Meeting of the Arizona Public Health Association was adjourned.
