Each Oakland Hills member will
be allowed 10 bring in any aSSo-
ciate member, the two TO split the
dues on the regular membership.
Dues. with II per cent tax,
amount TO approximately $3.50 an
nually. As a result of the new
move the member and his aSSo-
ciate each Will pay only SIPS.
This makes II a bargain. par
ticularly for the associate member,
since there viii be no other charge
for him.
Oakland Hills was one Of Sev-
eral clubs here which followed this
plan over part of the depression
period. Among the others were
Meadowbrook and Orchard Lake.
The plan certainly worked we'll
then. Besides reducing dues for
the regular members II helped 10
increase the play. That meant
more patronage and with il added
revenue for the clubs.
