GOOD NEWS

To the Chapter Secretary: Word has just been received from Washing ton headquarters that chapters may retain 25c of each additional dollar paid by annual members for the pur- pose of raising their memberships in the magazine class.
 Thus, if Mir. Smith became an An nual member during the Christmas drive, he may become a Magazine member by paying an additional dol lar (before April first) and the chap ter may retain 25c of this additional dollar.
 The accounting should be made to your Division Headquarters as usual. The names and addresses of the new subscribers should be forwarded to the Red Cross Magazine at Garden City, New York.
 We have been hoping for this an- nouncement for some time for 1t is only fair that chapters be granted a commission for securing Magazine memberships in this way. The oppor- tunity to swell your treasury and at the same time to see that your mem bers. are kept interested and enthusi- astic by a live magazine devoted to the Red Cross cause is now yours.
 Will you please bring this notice to the attention of the branches and aux diaries in your jurisdiction?
 Very sincerely yours,
