In supporting the hearty vote of thanks moved by Mr. Hunt, and carried by acclamation, Mrs. G. A. Hurd-Wood drew attention to the fact that iu 1911 America inaugurated its first airmail service, and in January of the same year the first league for hard of hearing In America was founded in New York.
