E. Herdlinger\r\nEvery service organization in the United States today employs a sales staff.\r\nThe A.R.B.A, being a service organization is no exception.\r\nThe American has a staff of 320 Super salesmen at the disposal of each member.\r\nThese salesmen we refer to are the pages of your guide book.\r\nEveryone agrees that to survive we must have many new members. Without this new blood the A.R.B.A, would surely die a slow death and sooner or later would cease to exist.\r\nNo member wants this to happen but the burden to increase our membership does not solely rest on the shoulders of the officers and directors, rather it is the responsibility of the entire present day membership to carry its share of the load.\r\nIf every member of the American would put his staff of salesmen to work and obtain just three new members during the coming year we could boost our roster to approximately 20,000 members at the end of 1958.\r\nThe easy way to convince a breeder that he should join the A.R.B.A, is to show him the guide book — let him examine it and note the wealth of rabbit raising information it contains and allow these 320 super salesmen to speak for themselves.\r\nRemember this one thing your staff of super salesmen demand no salary, or commission, no vacation pay, no hospitalization plan or retirement benefits\r\nand if properly managed can build the A.R.B.A, membership without costing you anything other than a few minutes of your time.\r\nThis is not just so much“ small talk”; it’s a proven fact your guide book is\r\nmade up of 320 super dynamatic power packed members getting salesmen.\r\nTry taking your sales staff off the book shelf—turn “em” loose. Who knows you may be fooled the writer could just be telling the truth.\r\nLEWIS S. J. GRIFFIN\r\nLewis “LEW\", Griffin, Member A.R.B.A. Board of Directors 1925 to 1931, and 1934 to 1950.

OFFICIAL BULLETIN\r\nPAGE THREE\r\nA Personal Message\r\nfrom the President\r\nDuring the Board meeting, in Little Rock, it was voted by the Directors, to have six issues of the A.R.B. Bulletin each year, starting this year. The Board feels that through this medium the Officers and Committeemen will have a better avenue for the dissemination of FACTS and IDEAS that will be of benefit to all our members.\r\nEvery other month during 1958 you will receive a bulletin. Through this channel you will receive the important news that has come to the attention of both your officers and fellow members. You will get this news FIRST HAND, and each Member will be getting it at the same time. There will be times when there are important matters that should be brought to the attention of our Membership, as quickly as possible, so, when this comes up, you will find the item in the next issue of the ARBA Bulletin.\r\nWhy did you join our Association? Who do you look to for news items, that will help you grow better rabbits? Don't you think that you as a Member is entitled to receive all the news of your Association activities as soon as it can be sent you? We feel that way too, and we are going to do just that, through this Bulletin. Our Membership now will all be informed alike, and at the same time. When those responsible for the issuing of the Bulletin, are informed that the Board of Directors has decided on a new plan or a change, affecting any part of our organization, they will see that the change is printed in the next issue.\r\nNot only will the Bulletin carry news of and by the Officers and Committees, but it will also print any important news sent in by a Member, if the item will be of benefit to our Members. During 1958 at least 12,000 of our Bulletins will be mailed to Non-Members and to the Advertisers, who have asked for information regarding our Association or the raising of Rabbits as well as Cavies.\r\nBy no means will the Bulletin stop the publication of all the other ARBA books. As to date we have not discontinued any of them. In fact, while the Board was in session, in Little Rock, I had one of our Members, Mr. Walter Rawsthorne, President of The Raws-thorne Cadillac Company, in Pittsburgh,\r\nPenn., come before the Board and give us an outline of a new Guide Book and the cost of Colored Plates (Pictures) of book. Mr. Rawsthorne has promised to work on this book and make a report at each Rabbit, which could be used in this an early date. A Guide Book of this kind would cost lots of money, but I feel regardless of the cost, it would be of benefit to all beginners, as well as our old Members. We hope to be able to give you more information, on this Guide Book, in the very near future.\r\nIn this Bulletin you will find all changes that will be made in the Show Rules, in the Standard of Perfection, of any new Breed or Variety, and the entire Membership will receive these changes at the same time. Through this information, to the Judges and Registrars, all of them will be working under the same Standards, as all will receive any change, at the same time.\r\nThere is another good thing about the publishing of this Bulletin, it will be a big saving on Postage for our Association. Each time there is a general letter mailed to the Membership, it cost the organization about $250.00, here the Bulletin will cut this cost down, and too, it will save our Secretary’s office lots of time.\r\nElsewhere, in this Bulletin, you will find all Committee appointments for 1958, both Standing and Special Committees, also there will be the list of State Representatives appointed to act in each State. I urge each of you to read the list of all the appointments so that you can see who is to be responsible for each part of our work. Learn who your State Representative is going to be, so that you will know who to call on for help and information.\r\nLast but not least, this Bulletin will make a big success if it has your support, so get busy, when you learn of something that will be of benefit, to our Membership, write an article on it, and send it to Mr. Edward H. Stahl, Hickman Mills, Missouri, he will publish it if he sees that it can be of help to our Members. Let’s not miss this opportunity of helping our fellow Members, by giving them benefit of our experiences.\r\nI\twish for all of you, a Happy and Prosperous New Year.\r\nSincerely yours,\r\nDick F. Parker, President\r\nLATE FLASHES\r\n— As We Go To Press\r\nJanuary 4, 1958\r\nOn January 4, 1958 John C. Fehr passed his 84th milestone, more than half of them (45) devoted to the interest of Rabbit Raising, Clubs and Association activities and the industry in general.\r\nA Good Record\r\nMr. and Mrs. Silas Gates, members of the Progressive Rabbit Club, of Kansas City, Kansas, have attended 46 consecutive meetings of this club and in addition attended 22 meetings of the Board of Directors. Mrs. Gates has just completed a two year term as Secretary and proved to be one of the best. In addition, is the Editor of the American Chinchilla Rabbit Breeders Association’s Bulletin, and a very good one too.\r\n100% Clubs\r\nAre there any Local Clubs who can boast of a 100% ARBA membership? Those close to it are, the San Antonio Rabbit Breeders Association (Texas), and in Virginia there are, the Virginia Peninsula Rabbit Breeders Association, and the Tidewater, Roanoke and Richmond Clubs. Will clubs having 50% or more ARBA members report so we can give special mention.\r\nIt Can Be Done\r\nMost of us have read or heard about the poem that contains the following lines, “It Could Not Be Done But He Did It.” This can be applied to Wm. E. Herdlinger who beat Ed Stahl in the 1957 membership drive 62 to 59. Here is a case where one man had the opportunity to get members, and the other one made his own opportunities, both methods proving very effective. Bill says (See Cover Page) “If every member put his staff of 320 Super salesmen to work and obtain just three members during the coming year we could boost our roster to 20,000 members by the end of 1958.” Ed replies, “You’re dreaming Bill, I would be more than pleased if each member who has a wife threw in an extra two bucks and made his a ‘Husband and Wife’ membership.” It’s just a suggestion that some have already taken seriously. When the next membership list is published let’s have many more Mr. and Mrs. listed.\r\nSlogan Contest\r\nIn the Spring 1957 bulletin there appeared 18 suggestions for a slogan for this bulletin. The interest taken in the voting was very disappointing, all told only 38 members taking part. There were 16 votes for Number 16. The next highest, Number 11, receiving 5 votes. The adopted slogan, therefore, is “The Voice of the American Rabbit Breeders Association.”\r\nPRESIDENT DICK F. PARKER 4001 South Fifth Ave. Birmingham 6, Ala.\r\nFRED R. APPLEGATE 1707 E.

STAHL\r\nADVERTISING AND PROMOTION ACTIVITIES FOR 1958\r\nADDRESS All communications concerning business matters, advertising, renewals, new membership applications, non-receipt of bulletin, changes of address, etc., to: James Blyth, Secretary,\r\n4323-BN Murray Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.\r\nThe year 1957 has passed into history. It has been, a great year in many respects, and as usually is the case, there were some disappointments too, as for instance, the contemplated three bulletins and a year book did not materialize, circumstances beyond our control preventing it. We can, if we will, profit by past mistakes and with this in mind the committee recommended something new for 1958. With the assistance of the officers and the support of the members we hope to succeed. The recommendations were as follows:\r\nBULLETIN — YEAR BOOK PLAN Provides For Publishing A Bulletin Every Two Months, Plus Year Book\r\nPUBLICATION DATES BULLETIN\tYEAR BOOK\r\nBULLETIN\r\nFIRST ISSUE — Feb. 1 SECOND ISSUE — April 1 THIRD ISSUE — June FOURTH ISSUE — August 1 FIFTH ISSUE—Oct. 1 SIXTH ISSUE — Dec. 1\r\nDEADLINE—Printer Material, Advertising, Etc., 5th, Of Month Preceding Publication Date.\r\nTo be financed as far as possible, by advertising to be solicited in a limited way by the present method, contacting only general advertisers.\r\nADVANTAGES—The practical aspect of this proposal is, that 12,000 to 15,000 copies of the bulletin will be available during 1958 in addition to those sent to members. These are to be sent as follow-ups to those who answer our advertisements, where they will be effective in getting new members, a successfully demonstrated method.\r\nYEAR BOOK—To be issued as a supplement to one of the above issues of the bulletin. To contain a list of all members in good standing at the time it goes to press.\r\nIn addition to the above, there will\r\nbe a continuation of the idea tried out in 1957, namely, the sub-committee idea, each with a chairman for the different catagories in which the Advertising and Promotion committee takes part. For instance:\r\nADVERTISING — Here we have a chairman, James Bunt, perhaps the best qualified Advertising Counselor within the rabbit industry, who knows the WHY and the WHEREFORES of rabbit sales by advertising.\r\nBULLETIN—The chairman is none other than the old standby, John C. Fehr, who feels that only by the bulletin method can the A.R.B.A, contact its members, give them the kind of information as to the organization’s activities that cannot be had in any other way as the material in this issue indicated.\r\nYEAR BOOK—Here we have our Secretary, James Blyth, as chairman. The man who once a year gets the entire membership ready for publication. If Jim were to add anything to this it would no doubt be as follows: “Renew your membership promptly, it is the only assurance there is that your name will appear.”\r\nMEMBERSHIP DRIVE—Last but by no means least, we have as chairman a newcomer in the person of Wm. E. Herdlinger, who in the past year has demonstrated his member-getting ability as will be noted in this bulletin. All Local Clubs are now aware of the fact that a new membership drive has been created for them. The details have been sent to all clubs by Secretary James Blyth. All clubs should take part and get a share of the $75.00 that will be awarded to those who get the most new members. A list of the leaders will appear in the next issue of this bulletin. The membership drive of the past will be continued; individuals and firms taking part. Be sure to keep the membership application blanks going out in your mail.\r\nAdvertising Rates\r\n1\tInch, Judges & Registrars only $ 3.50\r\n2\tInches — Single or double col. $ 7.00\r\n3\tInches\t”\t”\t”\t”\t$10.50\r\n4\tInches\t”\t”\t”\t”\t$14.00\r\n6 Inches\t”\t”\t”\t”\t$21.00\r\n¼ page, 3¾x4¾ inches\t$23.50\r\n½ page, 4¾x7¼ inches\t$46.50\r\nFull page, 7¼x9¾ inches\t$90.00\r\nSPECIAL POSITION INSIDE COVER PAGES\t$100.00\r\nClosing Date Next Edition\r\nMARCH 1, 1958\r\nJAMES BLYTH, Secretary 4323-BN Murray Avenue Pittsburgh 17, Pa.\r\nMEMBERSHIP DRIVE - Final Standing For 1957\r\n12 Local Clubs are now taking part in the 1958 drive.

It is a pleasure to mail this first 1958 issue of our bulletin to you. As you will note it carries something that has not been published before and something that should be of interest to every member. Because it is your association and we are trying to bring to our members just what is being done and what is being planned within the scope of what our finances will permit.\r\nGenerals, Majors, Colonels, Captains, etc. cannot win a war alone. They can plan and show leadership, but the soldier plays a major part. The A.R.B.A, has its Officers who are the Generals, etc. Chairman of committees who are the Captains and the members thereof the Sargents. Each state has from one to four Special Appointed Representatives all ready and willing to do their part, but without the members support of any project, nothing is gained and the efforts put forth by the leaders are lost or wasted.\r\nWe must work together to accomplish our end—a greater rabbit industry and fancy. There are a number of simple ways that you as an individual can help greatly. Number one, by answering all\r\nLittle Rock, 1957\r\nThe first meeting of the ARBA Board of Directors meeting was called to order by President Dick F. Parker, Thursday Morning, October 17, 1957, at 10 A.M. in the Marion Hotel, Parlor A, Little Rock, Ark. The following were present: Oscar Schultze, Ed Stahl, Carl Kroboth, Vern Ashton, James Blyth, John Fehr, Dr. M. R. Andrews, Benny Hill, Ellis Murray, Fred Applegate and J. C. Lowit. Harry Hurlburt did not attend on account of sickness.\r\nPresident Parker greeted all the Board members. He mentioned there was a wide increase in finances and an increase in membership. He then called for various reports.\r\nSecretary James Blyth gave his report of various items in detail which were discussed by the Board members. There was a discussion about the various charters and the 50 cents per member charge. The charters were holding their own and the 50 cent per member did not affect the charters in any manner.\r\nPresident Parker gave a report on the condition of the office when he visited it and said the Secretary was to be congratulated on the way the office was conducted. A rising vote of thanks was given by the Board to the Secretary.\r\nA motion was made and seconded that the Secretary’s report be accepted in its entirety. Motion carried.\r\nThe Treasurer, Dr. Max R. Andrews, made his report which he passed out to\r\ncorrespondence as promptly as possible. I know many of you have regular jobs which you must earn your living and arrive home after the day’s toil is finished played out. But it only takes a few minutes of your time to answer inquiries, and this promptness puts the industry as a whole in a better light to the beginner or the person who has written you.\r\nHelp your fellow breeder. Many times his failures or successes may depend on your advice or council. Sometimes you you too can learn something by trying to help the beginner with his problem.\r\nTalk rabbits as a food everywhere and all the time. You will find this pays off and in time you will find that everyday in every way the industry is getting better and better.\r\nWe of today are pioneering an industry. We are bound to get setbacks, but the last few years are holding our own. We must go ahead this year and this can be accomplished only by all of us working together with one common goal in view—a greater and better industry and fancy.\r\nWe hope you will enjoy this bulletin and that you will be anxiously awaiting the next edition.\r\nMeeting of Board of Directors\r\nthe Board members. The first report was the Auditor’s report which was followed by a combined report of the Treasurer and Secretary (July 1, 1956 to June 30, 1957) which showed what the Secretary’s commission and expenses were for the year. A list of the bonds owned by the Association was presented to each Board member. There were 15 bonds worth $5400.00 A motion was made and seconded that the Secretary when he gets back to Pittsburgh find out what the balance carried in the open account of the ARBA as to the bank service charge. Motion carried.\r\nA report of the worth of the ARBA was passed out by the treasurer. A discussion of the various items was held. A motion was made and seconded that we accept the Treasurer’s report in its entirety. Motion carried.\r\nA motion was made and seconded that we accept the Treasurer’s yearly report. Motion carried. Meeting recessed for 5 minutes.\r\nMr. Harry Herrlein, Chairman of the Education Research Committee, addressed the meeting at the request of the President.

A motion was made and seconded that we allow the National Advertising $5500.00 for the year 1958. Motion was carried.\r\nThe Election Committee budget was then discussed. A motion was made and seconded that we allow this committee $15.00 instead of the $10.00. Motion carried.\r\nThe budget for the Commercial Committee was then discussed and a motion was made and seconded that this Committee’s budget remain at $150.00. Motion carried.\r\nRegarding the Membership Committee’s budget, a motion was made and seconded that the suggested budget of $75.00 be allowed.

Motion carried.\r\nRegarding the National Rabbit Week and Publicity Committee, a motion was made and seconded that we allow $200.00 on each committee. Motion carried.\r\nA motion was made and seconded that the budget as amended by the Board be accepted. Motion carried.\r\nThere was a discussion pertaining to the Registrar’s examination questions came up. A list of questions were presented and passed by the Board. A motion was made and seconded that the registrar’s examination questions as proposed by the Standard Committee be accepted. Motion carried.\r\nThe status of the Missouri State Association was discussed but no action taken.\r\nMatters pertaining to the show rules were discussed.\r\nThe meeting adjourned at 5:30 P.M. to recovene at 8:00 A.M., Friday morning, October 18, 1957.\r\nThe second meeting of the ARBA Board of Directors was called to order by President Dick F. Parker, Friday morning, October 18, 1957, at 8:00 A.M. at the Marion Hotel, Parlor A, Little Rock, Arkansas, with the following present: Dr. Max R. Andrews, Oscar Schultze, Vern Ashton, Benny Hill, Fred Applegate, James Blyth, Carl Kroboth, Ellis Murray, J. C. Lowit, Ed Stahl and John Fehr. Harry Hurlburt was not present on account of sickness.\r\nThe Advertising and Promotional Program was next on the agenda. A thorough discussion by the Board members was held. The items of the Bulletin, Year Book, Guide Book which come under the Advertising and Promotional Committee were discussed.\r\nA motion was moved and seconded that a bi-monthly bulletin be issued, one issue to contain a membership list, thus this would do away with the year book. Motion carried.\r\nSecretary's Message\r\nJames\r\nFEBRUARY-MARCH, 1958\r\nA. R. B. A. OFFICIAL BULLETIN\r\nPAGE SIX\r\nLITTLE ROCK Continued\r\nA motion was moved and seconded that we get out a new guide book. This motion was carried.\r\nThe booklet “A Practical Beginning To Successful Rabbit Raising” was then brought up for discussion. Through the tabulations of the various mediums of advertising, it was noted that it pays to advertise. There are 32 advertisements on a TF Basis.\r\nCodifying and compiling the Constitution and By-Laws was next on the agenda. Dr. Andrews is Chairman of this Committee with Roscoe Cuozzo as Co-Chairman. Louis S. Heim, Robert Riggs, Robert Sprague and Ray Mullett are members of this committee. It was agreed that the first six articles under the Constitution were alright as worded. It was put to a motion and seconded that the first 6 articles under part 8 of the Constitution and By-Laws be accepted.

Chairman\r\nThis committee has been increased to nine members for 1958 which makes it one of the largest committees and with giant responsibility. The Youth Division will be expanded this year as never before. Great strides are planned to give the Youth their proper recognition in the ARBA. To best organize this group so that they may stand out and be recognized we have formed the ARBA Youth Division Specialty Club for those rabbit raisers from 10 to 20. This, we feel, will give greater opportunity for advancement and encouragement whether it be club activity, in the show room or being recognized as a breeder.\r\nMembership is $1.50 a year which includes many benefits. Secretary for this Specialty Club is Mrs. Daisye Valouch, 425 S.W. Ave., Bethany, Okla.
