Að gefnu tilefni gerði séra Guðm.
Árnason fyrirspurn um meðferð atkv.
frá deildum á fyrri þingum. Urðu tals-
verðar umræður út úr þessu, og gerðu
þeir séra Jakob Jónsson og Rósmundur
Árnason tillögu um að vísa þessu aftur
til kjörbréfanefndar til frekari yfirveg-
unar, og komi hún fram með ákveðinn
úrskurð að morgni. Var sú tillaga sam-
Þykt.
Þá las Laura B. Sigurðsson skýrslu
frá “The Young Icelanders.”
The Annual Report of
“Young Icelanders"
Acting President,
Icelandic National League,
Winnipeg, Man.
Dear Sir:
Before submitting the Report of the
“Young Icelanders”, we wish to pay
tribute to the late Dr. Rögnvaldur Pét-
Ursson, President of the Icelandic Na-
tional League. A great leader and a
good man, in whose passing, we of the
ýounger generation, feel a great per-
s°nal loss, for we felt and rightly so,
that in Dr. Pétursson we had an under-
standing and a sympathetic friend—
Who looked upon our endeavors, not in
the light of actual accomplishments
Þut seeing the possibilities in the future
for our organization. We recognize the
Sreat loss to the Icelandic National
Loague but to you he passed the Torch
that he had held aloft so long, and we
sincerely hope that these organizations
taay, with united effort, be able to con-
tinue the work of which he took such a
teading part.
