H E m N , Editor, I533 Burgie Phce ............. ELIZABETHTON, TENN.Dear T.O.S. Members -Having at the same time written an epistle in the News Letter, I feelthat I must keep this message to brevity. There are many things that couldbe said, but nei,ther time nor space permit.One thing that I think appropo at this time is that of membership, bot,has it applia to the broader State <strong>org</strong>anization and to the individual Chapters.Certainly, none of us is working to keep members out of our Chapters,bu,t how much are we doing to bring them in? I feel that we can increaseour numbers at any time in direct proportion to our efforts in that direction.T,here are so many reasons we need more members, not the least of whichis the direct benefit these persons would get from the work they wouldget in,to. I feel that we should go after more young people, for in this waywe would be building for ,tomorrow.Secondly, and I mention this in direct resgonse to a suggestion by ourworthy Editor of THE MIGRANT, Dr. Lee Herndon, of Elizabethton, thereis the broader aspect of new Chapters being created. I have been in WestTenrimsee for ,a great many years, have travelled it from one end to theother, think there are some fine small cities and towns located West of theTennessee River. And we have a Chapter in Memphis only! This is probablymore the fault of Memphis than any other, for I'm sure there is thenucleus .of T.O.S. membership in a dozen West Tennessee towns. I'm certainthis applies to all parts of the State.One reason, and a prime one, for needing new Chapter members andmore individual members is that of finances. As many of you know, withthe increasing costs ,of prducing THE MIGRANT from year to year, it isgetting to be a close race with red ink. There are only two methods ofobtaining new mvenue, that of raising dues or having more geople way thesame dues. Of the two, I think most of us would rather think of morepeople rather than more money per person. This is something to thinkabout.I have already expressed my desire of having any members of T.O.S.write me concerning any matter of interest. I reiterate that here. Sincewe cannot drive around the corner on our respective meeting nights andpay each other a visit, let's write often and long. Certainly, our interestsare common and litstle that we could say would become boring. I shall belooking for a letter from each of you. In the meantime, happy birding untilwe meet in Nashville in May, 1962.Sincerely,EDWARD M. KING, President
