MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN AMONG
MEMBERS

The office is asking every local
president in the Association to, send
the names and addresses of all their
members to the office in order that
we might have them before us.
We are planning to launch a Mem
bership Campaign among the
members and this promises to be
one of the greatest that we have
launched.
So often the membership leaves
the growth of the local lodge up to
the local president and as a result,
we have not done too much. It is
going to take all of the members and
local presidents working together
comparatively and tremendously to
put things over. The presidents
cannot do it by themselves and the
members mn o { do it by them
selves, however, if the presidents anc
members get together, big things car
and will be done.

NEW FEATURE TO
QUARTERLY BOARD

In the June Board and all subse-
quent boards the presidents will be
aohed to give an account of their
stewardship during tn past three
months.
1t is hoped that each president in
the Association will be able to report
one new member or a renewal every
quarter. If he adds four additions
IN any quarter he viii get credit for
the whole year We hope, by this
method, that our membership will
continue to go forward.
At the close of the March Quarter
ly Board more than eight thousand
members were reported. We hope
that the presidents will be just as in
terested in the June Board or more
so. 1t is hoped that more round re-
ports will be made in the June Board
than we had in the March Board
The presidents should begin now
and do everything possible to make.

New York - Throughout Amer

According to the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, these cam
paigns do much more than promote
fire safety. For instance, they help
foster community spirit. Streets
are cleaned, homes are beautified
and repaired, and accumulated
waste and rubbish Ia cause of fire.

Rave Over

CHICAGO, Ill. - Chicago critics
took their hats off to Miss Doro-

Civic Opera House last Sunday.
Seymour Ravon, writing in the
staid Chicago Tribune, called the
recital zone of the seasons grand
surprises"
Raven said Miss Maynor's voice
"had made a determined growth
into dramatic size-with beauty of
new and impressive kind" He
called the soprano a dedicated art
list" and said that cher older tech
niques have not been abandoned,
nor has her intuition about some of
the intangibles of music which
move from heart to heart while
barely brushing across the voice"
The Daily News Roger Dettmer
said Miss Maynor's once-agile ly-
ric soprano has both deepened in
color and taken on new strength
she has developed a chest register
of much beauty"

Nat Cole Featured
In Bold Magazine

Nat king" Cole, soft-spoken
and soft-singing son of a minister,
will earn approximately 100000
this year through recordings, jazz
concerts, TV, nightclubs and
theaters. The subject, "Why Cole
Is King" is an interesting four
page article of the fabulous sing
er, appearing in the current issue
of BOLD magazine.
What is the secret of his sue
cess? Sincerity and musieianship
are the two keynotes says BOLD.
Il always pick my own numbers"
Nat points out. II only record
songs that are suitable for my
styling songs that tell a story
songs can really feel"
Then, too, Cole is creative
pianist with originality and sensi-
tivity. This natural musicanship is
projected in his singing. 1t gives
him the distinctive style that has
made him known as a singers sing
er - a trend setter rather than
a follower.
Nat delights in telling the fol-
lowing story on himself, which in
! it's prophetic humor, helps to illus
trate his progress from a little
known jazz idol to a world wide
singing success.
U. S. cultists usually set up as
their heroes obscure musicians who
are too extreme for the public
taste. During his early struggles,
Nat was such hero. Zone night"
Nat told BOLD, ION a club date

up to me and pleaded, Don't go

being just another Bing Crosby"
