Tribute t o Pr es i dent The Chair was taken by the Senior Vice-President, Mr. Maurice Curran, who called on Mr. Desmond Moran to propose a vote of thanks to the President. Mr. Moran said that as the senior member present, it gave him great pleasure to pay tribute to the President of the Society, Tom Shaw. Over the past t wo years he had crossed swords w i th him on a few occasions and had to admit that he learned a lot. The President had undertaken a tough job, not only in visiting Bar Associations throughout the country but also in representing the Society at meetings abroad. He represented the country well and he wished to thank the President for all that he had done on behalf of the members of the Society. Mr. Mo r a n 's r ema r ks we re received w i th applause. After being seconded by Mr. George Crawford, who described Mr. Shaw as "a terrific President who had been most helpful to the ordinary member", the motion was carried unanimously and Mr. Shaw was given a standing ovation. The Senior Vice-President then for- mally declared the meeting closed. •
