MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL MEETING
The Council of the Texas Surgical Society met in Room 563 of the Galvez
Hotel, Galveston, October 6, 1941. The Chairman, Dr. C.S. Venable,
presided and the following members were present:
Drs. C.S. Venable, Elbert Dunlap, H.L.D. Kirkham, W.L. Crosthwait,
G.V. Brindley, C.B. Carter, G.W.N. Eggers and Walter Stuck.
After considering the names of proposed members, the Council re-
commended that Dr. Phil Bleakney of Harlingen be accepted and
elected to membership in the Society.
It was recommended that Dr. J.E. Dailey of Houston be deferred with-
out prejudice since he is now on active military duty. His candi-
dacy is to be reconsidered upon his return to private practice.
At the request of the Treasurer, Dr. Carter, the Council recommended
that the Society authorize the Treasurer to transfer $700.00 from
the Savings Account to the general checking account. This was ap-
propriated to meet the current expenses until dues are collected
next Spring.
The Council recommended that the Constitution be changed to reduce
the dues to $10.00 per year with the subscription rate to the official
journal "The Southern Surgeon" collected separately. This was ad-
vised to simplify the bookkeeping especially in relation to the new
Federal t axes on dues.
The Council received a telegram from Dr. Frank Beall inviting the
Society to meet in Fort Worth in April. It was decided to accept
his invitation and to recommend its adoption by the Society.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
Walter G. Stuck
Secretary
