Contrary 10 general opinion. the
country club is not a luxury within
reach of none but the wealthy. Many
of the largest clubs have dues low
enough TO make them available to the
average citizen. The Atlantic City
Country Club. originally organized by
Philadelphia mllionaires. reduced its
dues to $50 several years ago. The
annual dues of at least tWo-thlrds OF
the country clubs in the United States
do not exceed 50. In Admission. Ala,
