That fear was quick-j quick-j Iv dispelled, however, as soon as the convention got under way. Registration did not equal that of conventions held in the capital capi-tal city in recent years but attendance at-tendance at convention functions, func-tions, particularly business sessions, ses-sions, far surpassed all former records, according to those who have participated frequently in thr annual event.

From reports of delegates who were in attendance, the antics an-tics displayed as a typical day in a country drug store "laid them in the aisles." Mr. Christens! Chris-tens! n had very able support from an excellent cast. Among the resolutions passed ?rid the action taken were two items of particular significance, both upon the recommendation of the retiring president in his annual report. One was to "remove "re-move and delete from shelves of Utah drug stores, all magazines and other literature of an obscene ob-scene or detrimental nature." This action was taken, delegates reported, for the good of individual individ-ual business and to protect the professional standing of the nenbers. The delegates also approved concerted action to provide opportunities op-portunities for graduates of the , I'niversity of Ctah College of Pharmacy in the state as a nv'ans of encouraging enrollment of youth in pharmacy schools. |
