Twenty or more members entitled to vote may place candidates in nomination for new Directors or for the Nominating Committee, provided a statement containing the names of the proposed candidates over the signature of the twenty or more members is filed with the Secretary at least 30 days before the Annual Meeting. The Secretary within at least 20 days before the Meeting shall circulate the same among the membership entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Other nominations for new Directors or for the Nominating Committee may be made from the floor at the Annual Meeting.

CHANGE IN BY-LAWS

The Board of Directors, by formal action taken at its October 29, 1960 meeting, has recommended to the the membership a change in the By-Laws which would reclassify the categories of memberships available in the Association and would provide for a moderate increase in annual dues to cover the increasing expenditures by the Association for its publications. The text of the proposed amended By-Law is set forth on the reverse side of this notice. The resolution will be presented to the business meeting to be held on January 27, 1961 in Minneapolis and, if approved by the membership, will modify the By-Laws effective February 1, 1961. The moderate increase in dues for Active Members (from $12. for one year and $22. for two years) is in line with comparable increases in other organizations with like purpose; and, under the new scale of dues, any member may maintain the existing $12. per year dues by taking advantage of the three-year membership at $36. 

PROXIES

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, please return the enclosed proxy. You may instruct the proxies named how to cast your ballot or you may leave the matter in their hands. If another proxy is designated, he must be present at the Business Meeting to case the vote in person; otherwise your vote is not valid.

Bartlett H. Hayes, Jr., Secretary
