NOV/DEC, 1972 Page 158 MEMBERSHIP NOTES This year we've tried something different...something you must have seen if you've gotten this far into your TELESCOPE. In past years we have placed the renewal form in the center of the magazine. This year it is outside of the outer covers. We hope the members will see it and act promptly. Editors like to think that readers wait with baited breath for each issue, then avidly devour the contents the minute it arrives. Such, it would seem, has not been the case, and each year, around June, members sent in their last year's renewal form with the notation that they just found it, or, when we send a second notice they write us nasty letters saying they didn't get a first notice. OK. Here is 1s) Bil wt out and) get iene VOuUNwonY comics any Lsslies and we will know how many to get printed. iH MEETING DATES The November meeting is scheduled a week early to avoid Thanksgiving Day weekend.
