To End Operation Confusion
Lodqe Mails Must Reach Office Early

by our Secretaries, we shall
have no choice but to disre-
gard all correspondence which
does not reach the Home Of
flee by the last day of each
month.
This means that all such
correspondence will be taken
into consideration for the
following month and each
such Lodge shall be penalized
for any credit forthcoming,
which exceeds more than one
month. There will be no ex-
ceptions to this ruling.
Office Issues Warning
AS an example: If we re-
ceive a suspension form from
the Lodge on March 1st, or
any date thereafter in March,
such suspension will not be
processed as a transaction for
the month of February, but
will be put into effect as a
March transaction and will
appear on the April list as
sessment.
This means that the Lodge
will get credit for 1 month
only, which in this case would
be March, and the Lodge will
not get any credit for the
month of February. This pro-
cedure will apply in all cases,
such as reserves, cash surren-
ders, reinstatements, or any
other transaction.
