DAVID'S PAGE In looking at the Guild and what it is and what it does several very important things become apparent. The machinery of how the Guild operates as a group was formed over a period of 24 years. Some of the rules and laws are good, valid and do work. Some which are and were being used are in the light of 1969-70 not good, not valid and do not work. My point in accepting the job of President of the Guild for 69/70 was to be able to help change and put into effect new machinery which in conjunction with the old would help to give motif and life to the Guild for, I hope, the next 20 years. We cannot ex- pect that laws and rules will continue to move the Guild without constant supervision and changes made when it becomes apparent that something is not working. 20 years is a long time and we must motivate the members of the Guild, who are you and me, that the Guild is a living thing, and to live must think. The members of the Guild, as a whole, are the body, the executive is the brain. The body cannot live without the brain and the brain is helpless without the body and dies.

The brain and the body make a person, a unit, a whole, We, as members, must come to regard and understand the fact that we are a single unit with all sections of that unit operating effectively for the common, the unit good, With the passage of time, not too long as you will see, some conditions come to be regarded as tradition. Look at the effect of suggesting that we drop the Hycroft sale. It has become in five annual sales as much a tradition as royalty, church and mother. It means the body is not operating properly and the supply of blood, interest, is being cut off to the brain, It means death of a unit to allow this to happen. When the executive, the brain, come to re- gard themselves as the Guild and the members general as some- thing of a nuisance then there is developing a condition known medically as schitzophrenzia. When members refuse to speak on matters whith they feel important but simply do not go to meetings, do not think about what could be done to correct something which is not going right, will not offer
