A flaw in this basically excellent and immensely valuable organ- 
ization has been the wnfortunate fact that from its annual income 
of around $16,000.00 a year it has contributed only $600 a year 
toward the salary of its most valuable offisial, its Secretary. 
The Secretaries have thus had to support themselves otherwise 
while trying at the same time to give full time to the A.R.S.
