Mac- Kinnon. who has been the soc- iety's Honorary Treasurer contin- uously for the past thirty-eight years-ever since it was granted its Charter in 1914. All through the years Mr. Macl(innon faith- fully. cheerfully and meticulously watched over the Division's funds and was always ready to give his wise counsel to the many problems which presented themselves from
