Shleldsyille. These societies havo been
assessed for national tax on the basis OF

CADET AND LADIES SOCIETIES.
The ST. Aloysius Cadets, Of Saltwater,
and the st. Mary's Ladies' Society, Of
Belle Greek, have made half-yearly ze-
xorts, the former 1872, and the latter IS
members. These are the only LADIES' or
cadet societies that have reported, Now
THIS is all wrong. Society secretaries
are not excusable for failue TO make
their haif-yearly reports. AS the tax
assessed is all due the national union, il
is not necessary that it should he paid
previous TO the meeting Of the c0pven-
tion. But with the reports it is differ
ent; they should be made promptly.
It is Impossible to keep up a systematic
organization unless the local societies
Will CO. operats, to make the Union rec
0lyls perfect. We receive nearly every
week from the general secretary long
list OF our societies shat have failed TO
make reports. These lists are published
in the G. T. A. News. Local pride,
surely, ought to be strong enough to
prompt ouy societies TO make their re-
ports and thus keep their names out OF
these delinquent lists that are printed
and sca:tertd broadcast throughout the
country. Let lis hope this will be the
last appeal it wall be necessary to make
to society secretaries On this subject.
CONSOLIDATED SOcTEtrIEs
Il Is probable that SOME OF the ladies'
societies have been merged in the mems
societies. Ii your organization has dis
banded, or has united with another, let
LIZ know it officially IT the society is
still in existence, let US know that.
This is asking only simple courtesy
which you owe the Union. 1T is mali
fest d;scourtesy To the Archdiocesan
and General Unions, and their officers,
for local societies to ignore these small
duties. Please take these remarks
kindly, aud make All effort to remedy
tue necessity for them.
