Appeal for New Members, 



It will be evident to members who read the annual reports, 

 that there is always a large leakage in the membership, which 

 has to be constantly made up in order to maintain the Society's 

 position. The Convener of the Finance Committee has, on 

 more than one occasion, drawn attention to the need for 

 increased membership, so as to provide for the Society's 

 financial requirements, and has pointed out the importance of 

 obtaining all the influence possible to secure new members. 

 It is hoped that every member of the Society will make a special 

 effort to secure one or more new members, so that the financial 

 position of the Society may be not only maintained, but, if 

 possible, increased.

Chairman's Remarks. 



The Chairman first expressed regret that His Grace the 

 Duke of Atholl was not able to be present to review personally 

 the position of the Society before demitting oflice. He then 

 expressed the belief that the affairs of the Society were in a 

 very good condition, considering the uphill fight it had made 

 for many years, and that with the enthusiasm and interest 

 now being taken in forestry, the Society should go on and 

 prosper.
