WHEREAS, our 1959 convention directed that an "All Out" effort be made to encourage other districts to accept our candidate, and. Recognizing further that it takes several years for small districts to qualify candidates, we recommend that serious attention be given to seeking fuller cooperation from other districts and active counsel from international officers in order that our West Virginia District and its managers may become more active at the top level.
In addition, we recommend that our district take a fresh and positive look at our assets and begin now a program that will introduce other districts to our wealth of activity, enthusiasm and leadership.

ANALYSIS OF SUPPLIES INVEWTORY
At the last meeting of this committee we requested a comprehensive survey and analysis of the Supply Inventory. We can now announce that such an analysis was submitted to each of ou:c committee members to study o It has been concluded that Supplies Inventory is not at all out of line with that of Sales and will be: produced more December 31, 196o. The current inventory turnover rate is 4.5 times, which is very much in line with accepted business practices.
An inventory breakdown and turnover review is hereby submitted to each member of the cJ Committee.
NEW SUPPLIES ITEMS
The miniature.gong you see now in front of the President is the type of a. Members of the Board's Committee on Properties and Supplies feel that matters concerning the operation of the Kiwanis International Building and the Supplies Department are too important to attempt to handle in a two-hour meeting. It is the responsibility of the Board's Committee on Properties and Supplies to see that thq inventory is consistent with departmental operations.
Each board member is asked to provide comments on the Peace Academy project so that the board can review possible future actions to be taken, as at least some aspects of this project appear to fall within the scope of this board's work.

REPORT OF BO.AM COMMITTEE ON
MEMBERSRIPDEVELOPMENT TO THE MEETING ON
We believe that openly displaying images or names would be detrimental to the program and to Kiwanis. We propose to the 1960 Chairman to use the trophy for the remainder of this year (this is with the permission of the 1961 Chairman). We suggest to the 1961 chairman that he make a strong effort to inject spirit and enthusiasm into Kiwanis education at club level.
I move that recommendation 3 be accepted and referred to the Committee on Laws, PQlicies and Structure for implementation.
L A recommendation of the Membership Development Committee requested that the Club Officers' Bulletin be included as an integral part of ·THE KIWANIS. Specificat:lons.for both offset and paper for publication of THE KIWANIS MAGAZINE were sent to about 26 publishers. That the Club Officers' Bulletin be continued as a separate publication and that the emphasis for greater use be included by Leadership Training in the promotion of Lieutenant Governors' Conferences.
20 That the budget adjustments in the core of the report be submitted to the Finance Committee, together with a.
As it is probable that the membership of the Key Club will reach 50,000 boys before .. the next meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board feels that an admission of 50,000 should be made. member to consider so that it would be good public relations for Key Club and Kiwanis. On Thursday, October 27, the chairman of the committee and the director of key clubs met with Mr. Albert Willis, the president of the high school administration. Two members of the N. E. Ao committee claimed to have attended a "convention" where misconduct allegedly occurred.
Recommendations by the President and the Committee on Laws, Policies and Structure were noted and held for appropriate action at the next meeting of the Council. That the counselor of the West Virginia district meet with the governor-designate of said district and discuss with him the Board's position regarding the district operation of Keyette clubs. I propose that recommendation 10 be accepted. lL That Section II, section 18, and Section III, section 6 of the Board Policies for Key Club be deleted.
