This y~ar ..._,..., Maoters upse t ~Y routine acain by gettinG the suitcases out of t c air h i di ng ~laces. I don 't like t his proceedure. It means a chance and even ::_Jerhz-.:Js a stay at the Vet • s .kennel. (Llthough 1 lil:e my Vet very :mch but that cage, bah ••• )

The next day I was put int o the car. It ~as 2ot but my nose 'J7as sticking o:1t of t b.3 -;.:rin.:lo·:;J .~nd ·t rlG breeze r Wlf .lle d r.1y beard and mustache. 3o I ~;ratc i1ed the ·r oadside and t he :')81.SS i ne; cars, but couldn • t see too r.mc~1 , it e l l :ven t to0 fast. 3ud:J.enly it became a little c ooler and -."le v1are loolcinc dm~1:1 fro:·J a i:Jountain ridge into a va l l ey. Dulrin:: lunch t i:1e I v.ras off ere d sor.1e 'iiroter but I di dn't like it. 1.::y t7ater a t howe· tastes· better.

Again we were i n t:-~0 car- but it v.ras cool.ar n oriT and : lay do'Vm t o have a na~J . ·."Ji1en I S\10!~e we were hig~ il:i.J in the wountains - if I got r;;.y :L. ~aaters correct l y t uey called it the 1.-lleghenies.

Finally we stop:;>,ea and ny !:;aster got out of t he ~ar . and soon came baclc with a lady. ·Je ~,-;.rere ta~en into a room, It had a strange smell but it was coo l an:'! rooe1y. Now Master got the lu~;gage in and I kne\T t hat t :1 i s was rr·or:1 now on the place to watch. The food I received t hat 3 i 3ht was goo d and .huoan. I . like it best • .

During the :first niGh t I f ound that t :'le bed in ~'1hich wy L:asters .,ere sleeping was high enough f or me to squeeze under. This v.ras a great e~cperience since I never had a chance of doint; this before,

T~e :?ulik O!_Jinion of th.is v1:1ole t~1ing is as follows: •:r want to co:;1e, and I 1.:rill co :1e fe.st i::' :.1y trainer :ta!~es it ','Jorth r.1y 1iJhile, but if ~1e shouts at :;1e m· jfri,::;:1t~ns Z]e I ·;;~ill not co::..1e again --- I • .ut not stupid, you In1or!

As soon as he tips himself over and c;ets up to !Jrush off his clot~1es, ce..ll hiGt again and he 7Till run up to you for sympathy.

I'.~ost people 'have trouble t:ri t:'l th2 recall beca:.lSe t:1ey frighten and conf~se the ~os.

1960

The annual dinner I!leetinJ of t:1e Iuli ~lub of ":.LJerica ~7a9 held at the ::lager 3mi th fiotel in 3tamford, Conn on 3ei)ternber lOth. Twenty-six ::_3eople :.1ere present representing seven states.

t1!rs. Anderson presided at the neeting, and afteJ."' -:relCOl.1ing the members ·present, re~orted briefly and inforillally on tbe general activities 'of the year an an introcuction to the re)orts of the officers and colm:1i tt ·3es. 3he spoke of the kinililess of VIiss Glizabet~ ~sengeri, of Israel, in sendinG three trophies for the Specialty, ';:Jhich C:irl not a ii."rive in time to be included in tr1e premium list, and so, with I~iss Csengeri's J:rmission, they will ·be offered at Jestminster, instead. The Board has voted to send a trophy to Israel. Two a::- :; oint:Jents have been made for the co~ing year. !1.iiss :ranniss, ~-.rh.o has been Bench Show Ch.a±rrnan for sev~ral years, has asked to be relieved of this responsibility which sh~ has carried so capably, :;,nd I.:rs. diehard . .'allace, who has served tri th her as co~chc:irr.aan ~.his year, has been nar.1ed to succeed her. Mrs. Sayer Fancher ha.s been appointed Trophy Chairman.

, Mrs. -Jhipple sum:narized her 8ecr~tary' s .2c:port in order to avoid rep~tition of material' ".-:rhich is covered by other reports, but informally en.larged upon the story o.f the Clul>' s problems over the Yuli Standard.

I~erby proposed tr1at multi:)le copy business foriils be used to keep those whose ·.:TOr!{ requires it posted on membership changes, Vlhdlch would save much clerical t·rork. ae further suggested t:1a t, since our raembership has gro~.vn so large, a r,iembership Chairman be a :JpointeCl to relieve the Treasurer o.f responsibility for detailed membership records. nis ideas were so good th~t he :i,lresently found himself a_.)pointed t~embership Chairman.

Mrs • .hnderson suwmarized a report sent by i:lr. Roy D. ?rentiss, Chairman of the ?ublications ~o .~~wi ttee, outlining the plan for a Puli brochure, or small booi(!et, giving the history of the breed, temperoent and personality, and pictures and s!~:etches, and a short article on training, to be used by the Club for distribution to those in~uiring about the breed. Tile 3oard of ~irectors has authorized the committee to proceed with its plan.

The Club ::istorian, Eiss Elizabeth 3 ::-_ird, reported the collect­ion of oaterial, both historical and current, and urged members to send her pictures and s~ow records of past and present champions. 3he is aru~ious to have contributions of source material, but if r:1e:1bers are um::rillint; to part vlith it, she would be erateful to have a record of it and to Il:norJ v.rhe::re it may be consul ted.

If.iss 3uezenne :<'ordharn, as ~:>ublici ty Chairman, gave a cost interesting report. She conceives of her job as "acquaintio2 the public -:ritb. ::Culik".

2arly in the year, it ,·Jets decLc"!ed to give one ysar guest member-ships in the :Culi Club to new m:mers of :?uli :,?Uppies who are

(. of September lO!b these individuals will no longer be designated as "guest members", but trill, instead, be put on the mailing list for the Fuli News and all material of a general information nature.

A committee is to be appointed to draft a code of ethics on the breedin3 and selling of ?ulik for the consideration o§ and adoption by, the Club,

It was decided t~1at the .?uli News be sent to Uiss Elizabeth Csen~eri of Israel, who has 3enerous~y sent three trophies for the r!estr.ainater Show, an.:: t~1at the Club se~d a trophy to Israel to be )lacecl at iJ:iss Cserrgeri' s dltscretion.

After consideration of t~e plan3 of the ?ublications Comm. for a small booklet on tile :?uli, to ba used by the Club for distribution, t~1e sum of .~20::>,00 was allocated to the committea for printing,
