As ad­ vised in the flyer mailed with the Mid-Summer issue, membership fees re­ main at $25. 00 for the new season and are now due. This is the last issue which will be sent to those who do not renew, so if you have not already done so, please send your remittance to William R. Wilson, 173 Glenrose Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4T 1K7. Cheques should be payable to Toronto Marine Historical Society. Kindly do NOT mail membership fees to the Edi­ tor; the coupon on the renewal flyer was addressed to the Treasurer for a very good reason! We respectfully direct the attention of all of our members to the Treasu­ rer's financial report, which is presented in this issue. In this, the first issue of our 31st Volume, we wish to thank all of the members who keep us supplied with marine news for "Scanner", not just during the summer months but all year long. We can't reply whenever you send us packages of clippings and notes, but you KNOW that we appreciate every single item you send, whether there is space for it in "Scanner" or not. To name all our correspondents would run the risk of missing names, and so we just ask that you accept our blanket thanks to you all. * * * * * * * ISSN 0318-014X
