chosen few, and when at the expira

eessful atempts to organize the cor- |
respondents into a club or league and
while a few expressed their willing- i
ness to join, others never resp'C 1

died out. Our editor at various 1
times has stated that the idea was a i
good one and has offered his assist
ance toward perfecting an organisa
tion. Now. it’s up to the correspond
ents to make this organization a real
ity. (bur plan is to set a meeting
date, then elect our officers, make by
laws, pay a small membership fee and
monthly dues to defray expenses of
meetings and etc.
An organization of this kind w > i' 1 i
be beneficial to all the correspondents
and much interest would be manifest
ed and ideas could be exchanged. Why 1
could it not be successful?
