Extensive discussion concerning the approaching convention to be held April 24 to 28, resulted in conclusions described below under the heading Spring, 1933, Convention. Considerable attention was given by the Board to budgetary matters, including sectional and committee appropriations, to the question of dues and subscriptions, and to the general relation between the prevailing economic conditions and the finances of the Society. In order to assist in distributing the JOURNAL among subscribers, a special plan was devised, offering to the first one hundred individuals to take advantage of the plan, complete issues of back numbers of the JOURNAL.

This offer is open also to present subscribers who might wish to extend their subscriptions.
