exerted a tremendous influence in upgrading and improving the quality of chicks and poults produced in the United States through his unsparing time and effort as Coordinator of the National Poultry and Turkey Improvement Plans. "Paul B. Zumbro, Mr. N.P.I.P. in the minds of many old timers 'provided the leadership in the 'dark ages' of our poultry industry' to quote one Poultry Science Department Head. 'He worked long and diligently to direct, urge, nudge, push and lead a backward industry toward enlightened goals. "During the years with the N.P.I.P., Paul earned
the well deserved reputation for never dictating Plan provisions and procedures but for making the Plan Conferences outstanding examples of representative democracy. He concentrated on the issues, policies and procedures of the Plan and not on the petty squabbles which erupted from time to time. Under his leadership, the incidence of reactors to the pullorum-typhoid test was reduced from over 33,000 to less than 10 reactors per million birds tested. In later years, Paul was influential in the development of programs for the control of M. gallisepticum and 5. typhimurium."

" I t is indeed a privilege and honor to have the opportunity of representing the American Poultry Historical Society during the official public unveiling of the portrait of Professor Loyal F. Payne. His portrait and those of others elected in 1968 will be hung in the Poultry Hall of Fame at the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland." In presenting Professor Payne's portrait, Dr. Sanford stated: "We are honoring Loyal F. Payne as an 'excellent teacher, dedicated researcher, effective administrator, inspirational historian, and highly respected poultryman for his unselfish contributions to the poultry industry'. A pioneer in research, he did the original work on in-shell mortality during incubation, which established the
