Page 3 February 17» 1945 AS l AM AN ASSOCIATE MEMBER W| TH NO VOTING PRIVILEGE AND NO ACTUAL POWER TO ENTER INTO MATTERS OF CONTROLLING POLICY OF THE ORGAN I 2 AT I ON* THE ONLY THING ACTUALLY LEFT IS THE NrVS LETTER. ThIS, AS I 8ELIEVE 1 SAID 8EF0RE, IS A VERY VALUABLE THING TO ME AND WELL "'ORTH THE FIVE DOLLARS. I THINK YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME, HOWEVER, THAT TEN DOLLARS IS A RATHER HIGH PRICE FOR IT, AND YET 1 WOULD BE PLACED IN POSITION OF PAYING TEN DOLLARS FOR THIS News LETTER IF THE DUES FOR ASSOCIATE MEMBERS WERE INCREASED AS PROPOSED. "I AM NOT OVERLOOKING THE OTHER VALUABLE FEATURES OF THE ASSOCIATION, SUCH AS THE EXCHANGE OF SCRIPTS, AND THE ASSOCIATIONS WHICH 1 FIND MOST ENJOYABLE, ANO A FEW OTHER FEATURES OF THIS NATURE« HOWEVER, WHEN AN INCREASE OF DUES IS PLANNED, THE MATTER SHOULD BE EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF THE DIRECT 8ENEFIT ONE RECEIVES AND, FOR THIS REASON, I WOULD VETO THIS INCREASE, " In eASE THE THOUGHT COMES TO MIND, THAT WE SHOULD BE A FULL MEMBER BECAUSE OF OUR FM STATION, W8KY, u H 1 CH WILL BE ON THE AIR NOW WITHIN A MONTH, * WOULD NOT ACCEPT A FULL MEMBERSHIP ON THIS BASIS BECAUSE OF MY IDEA OF THE RELATIVE IMPORTANCE BETWEEN OUR BROADCASTING OVER V»HAS AND OUR BROADCASTING ON OUR OWN FM STATION AT THE PRESENT TIME, Our FM station has been created simply to “get a foot in the ooor”, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AND HOLD OUR LICENSE WHILE I SEE WHAT DEVELOPS IN THE ART, THERE ARE NOT MOPE THAN 300 FM RECEIVERS IN THIS TERRITORY RIGHT NOW, SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE ”'0RK OF OUR STATION WILL COMPAPE IN IMPORTANCE WITH OUR WORK OVER WHAS IN WHICH WE AVERAGE A MILLION OR MORE LISTENERS TO OUR PROGRAM.” Regards Your Servant, President F£S:maj Enclosure
