We regret the fact that we could not bring an October issue to you, but Ye Ed. 's vacation plans prevented that. To make up for it, there will be an issue in January, so you still will receive eight issues. Membership Fees for the 2007-2008 Season Are Now Due and Payable. Fees are $40. 00 per an­ num and we solicit your continued support. If you did not remit with the Summer issue's renewal coupon, please do so as soon as possible.

(Kindly do NOT send it to the Editor. ) This is the last issue that will be sent to those who do not renew. We sincerely thank those who already have renewed, especially those who included a spe­ cial gift to the Society. With the Canadian dollar now higher than the U. S. dollar, we lose money on each cheque sent in U. S. Funds. The exchange rate used to work to our good. In the New Member Department, we extend a hearty welcome to John D.
