A general canvass for new members
OF the Service Citizens has not yet been
undertaken and will not be until di-
rector general is secured and the Or
ganization is more nearly complete. In
preparation for the campaign for mem
bership, however, a resolution was
adopted providing for the appointment
OF committee from the board OF man
ayers to be known as the membership
committee which shall have authority
10 pass upon all applications. The orig
inal plan was to have applications sub
mitted TO the entire board of man
ayers but it was thought at the meet
ing that this would be a cumbersome
procedure. designations from the
board OF managers were received from
A. Felix dupont and Joseph Bancroft
They were accepted With regret.

zens Of Delaware for Mr.. duPOnts gift
was expressed in the following resolu-
tion offered by Dr.. G.. Layton Grier and
