GENERAL ASSEMBLY 9:09 o'clock A. M. June 23, 1966 VICE PRESIDENT FRANK J. JESTRAB: In behalf of our President Robert Dahl of Grafton, it is my privilege now to call to Order this Annual Meeting of the State Bar Association of North Dakota. I would ask the Reverend Peter Hinrichs of Dickinson to pronounce the Invocation. (Invocation given by the Reverend Peter Hinrichs.) VICE PRESIDENT FRANK J. JESTRAB: Thank you very much, Reverend Hinrichs. The next local gentleman that I would like to introduce at this time is the Honorable Dave Price, Mayor of the city of Dickinson, Mayor Price. ADDRESS OF WELCOME By Mayor Dave Price Thank you, Frank. From the looks of the turn-out so early in the morning, I guess I don't have to say too much about the hospitality you may have enjoyed in Dickinson. When Judge Baird a few weeks ago came and asked me to give a wel- coming address to you gentlemen, I readily agreed. I am very happy to be here. It occurred to me later how some of our Mayors have been treated by you gentlemen in the State and I was wondering what to say to you gentlemen in the morning. As you know you don't have any trouble getting Mayors to talk and I know you gentlemen have heard about as many talks as you care to and it gets to be kind of an old habit and I have a story that I thought might fit this particular situation here. It's about a fellow who had been condemned and was sentenced to hang in a small community in Canada, and as it was the custom, the Mayor of that community had to be there at the official proceedings and as the event was about to take place, they asked the condemned man if he had anything to say and he said, "No, I haven't." He a9ked if anyone else was willing to say anything for the condemned man and of course the mayor raised his hand. While he was getting to the platform where he could be seen as well as heard, he again asked the condemned man if he had anything to say and he said, "Yes, please hang me before I have to listen to that mayor this morning." I would like to say a few things about Dickinson that you may or may not be aware of. I hope you golfers especially get a chance to go out to our nine-hole grass green course. We do have a few water hazards and you won't find a better course in North Dakota. We are real proud of our Dickinson State College. We think it's one of the finest colleges in our State. It is a fast growing college. Presently our enrollment up there is around 1,300. In Dickinson we are not a fast growing city but we do feel that we are making good progress. Last year and this year combined in building in our city alone it amounts to about nine million dollars. We are real proud of our St. Joseph's Hospital which is about a three million dollar building. We are building an addition on our water plant adding four million gallons a day. We are adding to our post office. We are just starting to widen our Highway 22 from Interstate 94 through Dickinson. It will be comparable to our main street as far as distance is concerned and lighting. We have a fine clay plant in Dickinson which makes some of the finest sewer pipe in the nation. We have two very fine livestock sales yards which is a tremendous asset to our community. We also have a briquetting plant which is unique in the whole nation. BENCH AND BAR I would like to thank the people that were responsible for bringing this convention to Dickinson. I know I have seen many lovely ladies on the streets and I have seen some of these wander into our stores and I think the people in town are very glad. I think the fact that you fellows are wearing your western style hats is a terrific Idea. This is about all I have to say and my good friend from Fargo told me you are used to hearing the mayor for forty-five minutes. I am going to cut mine off now. I would say thank you for coming and have a good time. (Applause.) VICE PRESIDENT FRANK J. JESTRAB: Thank you very much, Dave. Having the convention at this site has been a particular enthusiasm of mine as some of you know, for a long time. I thought it would be good for the Bar Association, I thought it would be good for the lawyers in the western part of the state. It is working out just that way. We have a tremendous registration. Certainly last night you found that the gentlemen that prepared the barbecue could give lessons to this fellow Jettem that works for President Johnson and it is so good they had to send them to Pans and I think they should come out to Dickinson and get a man to do it better. I ate at both bar- becues and I can assure you the man that prepared the meal last night doesn't take a back seat to anyone. Dave, we are happy to be here. I think that juice from heaven is the most wonderful thing in the state anyway. Notwithstanding it probably did get a little too juicy, we had a wonderful time and we are continuing looking to a happy and profitable meeting here in Dickinson. There are a couple things I want to say at this point. I think that you are all conscious of the fact that Bob isn't here. Bob has worked so hard. He has done such a wonderful job as your president this past year and because of his absence, of course, I have to carry on his duties. I don't want to name anyone m particular because I am afraid that I might slight somebody who has worked just as hard. I am going to mention two or three committee chairmen and I am going to tell you that the group in Dickinson have done an astonishingly good job. They have worked unceasingly under Judge Baird. We have been subject to constant harassment from the Executive Committee. And then there is our very dedicated executive secretary, Al Schultz. We sent Al down here time and time again to work with them. I think he has done a remarkable job. Just shortly before the meeting opened, Judge Baird was taken ill and Hilbert Swanson took over the duties absolutely cold and I haven't seen such a dedicated performance and useful performance in a long, long time. When Al Schultz, a very able executive director, prepares the agenda, there isn't much for me to do. He worked very hard and has done an efficient job and I personally appreciate it very much and I know that you perhaps realize the chaos we would have had if it hadn't been for his efforts. Orrin Lovell, the representative of the executive committee from this judicial district, has performed way and above the call of duty. He has done a tremendous job and I am grateful to him. So I would like you to know that the success of the program you may attribute to these people. Any mistakes that are made are my mistakes. The next item on our program this morning will be the address of the president. Or perhaps it would be better to say the Report of the president. Bob had intended to fly down this morning and deliver the report and then return to Grafton. However, he was weathered in and he will not be here and his report which is written, which he prepared beforehand will be read by the secretary-treasurer of the State Bar Association, Mr. John Marshall. NORTH DAKOTA LAW REVIEW JOHN MARSHALL. PRESIDENT'S REPORT, 1965-1966 ROBERT E. DAHL Although I have had the opportunity during the past year as president of this association to address you indirectly through the monthly letter you have received, I am glad that custom has dictated that I may address you directly at the end of my term. Obviously, this affords me a wonderful op- portunity to outline what progress the association has made during the past year and to define certain areas in which, I believe, we can improve. In any sense of the word, the past year would have to be considered constructive. Of particular interest to all of us was the implementation of the Supreme Court Rules of Disciplinary Procedure which became effective August 1, 1965. At that time the Court appointed the six commissioners and shortly thereafter they met with representatives of the Grievance Committees of the Bar Association to draft and adopt Rules.

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT DEGNAN PRESIDENT DEGNAN: Perhaps the most important, single essential of good Bar Association work is the coopera- tion of each individual member with the officers of your Association in any given year. I should like to go on record here as saying that I have had the cooperation and assistance from every member of this Bar Association during the past year. We have accomplished everything we had set out to do. Next to each individual members, the most important peo- ple are the committee heads. Without them no President or no group of officers could accomplish anything.

The work was not easy. It entailed a mass of research on the part of many, for old pictures had to be located, old records had to be gone through, pioneers who have moved away had to be located and contacted personally, if possible, otherwise by letter. Many old records have been lost, thus accounting for items that should be in this book and are not. It was a type of work in which we all lacked experience so - please accept our most humble apologies for errors, misconceptions, omission, etc. We did our best! Thank you.
