lined the 1971 achievements of C.M.C.A., such as the C.S.A. A224 1970 being changed from a "Masonry Code of Practice" to "A Guide of Design and Construction of Unit Masonry"; the closer liaison with the Federal Department of Public Works and the National Building Code, and other pertinent representations made on behalf of the Masonry Industry throughout the country. Members can look forward to more specific briefs and direct representation through C.M.C.A. in the coming year.

The highly praised ladies' program was organized by Mrs. D. (Janet) Maniago, chairman, aided by Mrs. R. (Faye) Beaupre and Mrs. M. (Doreen) Chernetski.

President Harry Morstead, Morstead & Son Limited, Calgary, Alta., was re-elected for a second term. The balance of the 1972 Board are pictured on these pages.

Apart from the business sessions, delegates were highly entertained by a moonlight cruise to Indian Arm, topped off by a gala banquet and dance. Convention committee chairman Dino Maniago, Acme Masonry Ltd., Vancouver, B.C., and director at large of C.M.C.A., along with his very capable convention committee provided all those who attended with an educational and entertaining meeting.

The 1972 fifth annual convention was the largest to date with record attendance both at the technical sessions and the social functions. C.M.C.A. will hold its sixth annual conference at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec City, February 15 through 18, 1973.
