Secretary's Column

I am sorry to report that about one-third of 2,600 members did not renew their membership for 1961 by January 1. We have removed their membership cards from the file, stamped them, Suspended, and returned them to the Garrard Press. The Garrard Press removed the Journal address plates from their file and returned the cards to us. As these memberships are paid, we stamp the cards Reinstated, send them to the Garrard Press who reinstate the address plates in their file and return the cards for our file.
