Financial Record may be the best source. This will show up when the date of joining, as shown on the Membership Card, is later than dues entries in the Financial Record. In such a case, refer back to the Financial record. 
(5) Birth date. (Item 3 of the card).
The birth date must be given in the application. If the Membership Card does not contain the birth date or the date is given in abbreviated form, it can be assumed that the application form was similarly incomplete. 
(6) Date of employment. (Item 4 of the card).
This date will normally be the date of employment as co-pilot, and will be earlier than the date of becoming first pilot (if there is such a date). But the date of employment, and the date of becoming a first pilot will in some instances be the same. 
(7). Other entries. 
In any case in which the Financial Record is incomplete as to the date or cause of death, the Personnel Folder of the deceased Member should be examined for information to complete the entry. In every case, other than where the Member became an executive of an air carrier, or entered military service, the document in the Personnel Folder which was basis,either for changing a document in the Personnel Folder which was the basis, either for changing a Member's status from active to inactive, or for showing his Membership to have ceased, and the documents preceding and following that document should be examined as a check on the Financial Record. Change an entry based on the Financial Record to one based on the Personnel Folder if the two are not in agreement. Do not take time to examine more than these documents: (1) The Financial Record (and an occasional journal entry); (2) The Membership Card; and (3) the document (or documents, where there was more than one change), which was the basis for a change to inactive status or for marking a person down as no longer a Member, and the two documents, on each side of the latter. 
    If a Member is reported killed in action, but without an exact date, leave the date of leaving blank, write out "killed in action" or "missing in action" without a code number in the "Reason" column, and, on the back of the card give such information, including if possible the Army or Navy number, as is contained in the Personnel Folder. If a date of death is given, without detailed record of cause, during a period of military service, it may be counted as a death to be coded 4. 
    For present Members (which will, in this group, be limited to those without good addresses, and those who have already indicated that they will not fill out the schedule), the items in Paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) will be secured from the Membership Card in the active file. Only the "Other Entries" item (7) will be in-volve a check of the Personnel Folder.
 
Present Members Failing to Return Questionnaire

Assuming that the questionnaire cut-off date will be October 15, all the cards in the questionnaire file which do not show an acceptable form to have been received should be removed from the file on October 15. The name and A.L.P.A. number of those questionnaire cards should be entered on the same cards which
