neither sought nor desired such a position.

As a “newcomer or outlander” I resent the implication that I am a “blowhard”; that I have-been “patting myself on the back,” or that I have any “hard earned laurels.”

On 26 May, 1954, I submitted my resignation as Treasurer of the Department, effective as of the date of the next annual election of officers 2 June, 1954 with the statement that I did not desire to be re-elected and with recommendation that a resident of the com-* munity and member of the Department with longer residence , and service be elected my successor.

. A copy of that letter of resignation is hereby attached for your information.

Respectfully,

Luther B. Stuart

Captain, U. S. Navy,

(Rtd)

Treasurer, Amissville

Volunteer Fire Dept.
