 election, and within thirty days after each recurring annual date. The failure 

 of any person to make such initiatory* payment and such annual payments 

 within said time shall, at the option of the Board of Trustees, be sufficient

 mendation of the Executive Committee; provided, that such persons named in 

 the articles of incorporation shall, within ninety days from the adoption of 

 these By-Laws, and persons hereafter chosen as Corporate Members shall, 

 within ninety days of their election, pay into the treasury the sum of twenty 

 dollars ($20.00) or more. The failure of any person to make such payment 

 within said time, shall, at the option of the Board of Trustees, be ground for 

 forfeiture of his corporate membership. Corporate Members becoming Life
