Dues Are Coming In 



Duj'ing the past month, all counties j 

 except Berkshire and Essex have sent 

 in checks covering membership dues I'e- 

 cently received. While weather condi- 

 tions up to April l.st have made it dif- 

 ficult to hold meetings, most of the county 

 organizations seem to be making good 

 progress. As a result of the checks re- 

 ceived, the State Federation has found 

 it possible to pay off $1,200 of the .$1,800 

 deficit carried over last year.
