Theme of the pUl'ade was "'VcslwRl'd Ho!" The first half of the show was titled, liThe Old 'Vest" and fea­ tured the l\1iullcnpoJis Chapter Chorus, Judge Luther Sletten (bas8 of the ATOMIC BUMS) directing; a variety of good quartets and a refreshing session of community singing, led by that old master, Frank Thorne, Past Intel'national President. The sccond half of the parade featured four won· derfnl qual'tets: THE ATOMIC BUMS, THE GAY NINETIES, TIlE BUFFALO BILLS and THE VIK· INGS. President 1\1eal18 then commended the com­ munity service spirit of the 1\fiullcapolis Chapter and cOllllucnted on the growth of this activity throughout much of the Society.

Mr. President, l\Iembers of the House of Delegates, ladies, and fellow bal'bcl'shoppcl's: I am grateful Ior the honor and privilege of deJivering the second "key. note" speech in the history of the Society. Since International Vice President Dean Snyder's memorable keynote address at tlte first meeting of our House of Delegates at Detroit lasl June, there have been many changes affecting our organization.

Shortly aftcr his retnrn to Tulsa froln Ihc Dctroit Convention, OUl' beloved foundcr, O. C.

THE HAIIMONIZEII-MARCH, 1954 25 IMPORTANT EXECUTIVE DECISIONS

MADE AT MINNEAPOLIS NEW· FISCAL YEAR In 1955, the Society fiscal year will extend from January 1 to December 31, the regular calendar year. It is important to remember that this change affects only the payment of dues and per capita tax. The dates on which officers at thc international, district and chapter Icvels take officc will remain the saIne. DUES COLLECTION To make the new fiscal year opcrative, members will have a dues·paying option. They may pay one· half year's dues on the regular July 1, 1954 date, carrying them to Dcccmber 31, 1954. Or, they may pay dues for an I8·months' membership on the rcgular date, July 1, 1954, which would carry them through the half year of 1954 aud the eutire year of 1955. The latter may be done at their option hy arraugemeut with their chapter. Under this new dues collcction plan, Internatio nal Headquarters will mail invoices di"eet to iudi· vidual members on May 1, 1954 with an explanation of the six and I8.month duespayment arrange· luents. No dues amounts will be shown in the invoice form hecause chapter dues vary. Dircct mailing of the invoices is cxpected to relieve chapter secretaries of considerable work. It is also cxpected to create a larger number of renewals. Per capita taxes (which include subscription fee for The Harmonizer) will then he remitted by the chapter to International Headquarters. The tax will be 52.50 for six·month memberships and 57.50 for I8·month memberships.

, PER CAPITA TAX . To eneourage prompt payment, the grace period for payment of the per capita tax has been reduced f"om 90 days to 30 days. This means that members not remitting per capita tax by August 1, 1954 will be considered delinquent. Deadline for payment of 1955 per capita tax will be February 1. DELINQUENT CHAPTERS Chaptcrs which have been delinquent in payment of per capita tax on at least 20 memhers (the established minimum chapter membership) have been granted an extension until March 1, 1954. Memhers who have paid their ducs and per capita tax for this fiscal year (ending June 30, 1954) but whose chapters have lost their charters, will receive the J\'Iarch and June issues ofThe HarmonizCl·. . NEW CHAPTER CHARTERS , Chapters chartered between January 1 and Septemher 1 of this year (which have paid the 550.00 charter fee and have remitted 55.00 per capita tax) will be credited with memhership to December 31, 1954. Chapters chartered between September 1 and December 31 of this year, will pay the 550.00 charter fee, hut only 52.50 per capita tax for the year ending December 31, 1954. . MEMBERSHIP CARDS . Memhership cards will no longer he offered for sale to ehapters after June 30, 1954. When new and renewalmemherships are suhmittcd with per capita tax remittances hy the chapter to the International Headquarters, memhership cal'(ls will hemaileddirccttomemhers.This is expected to savc the Chap. ter effort and money and assure more efficient record.keeping.

26 THE HARMONtZEn-~IARCH,1954 SERVICEMEN'S DUES

Dues and per capita tax of members serving in U. S. and Canadian Armed Forces will be waived, effcctivc July 1, 1954·. Chapters are urged to pay the subscription fccs of the District publication and The HarmonizCl' for servicemen to insurc continuity of contact with the Society. CONVENTION REGISTRATION FEE

The convention registration fee will be increased from S7.50 to SID.00, effective with the 1955 Convention at Minneapolis. 1956 CONVENTION

Thc Society's 1956 International Convention was awardcd to Miami, Florida. BARGAIN PERIOD I The previously operative "90.day hargain period" has been discontinued. Hcretofore, under this arrangement, members could be accepted into membership on April 1 of one year and have their membership run to June 30 of the following year for payment of only one year's dues. Under the new procedure the full per capita tax must be paid for all members added to rosters between now and June 30,1954. Members joining between July 1, 1954 and December 31, 1954 may be accepted on a six month's basis as described in the above paragl'aph titled "Dnes Collcction."

Othe,. Impo,.ttmt Developm.ents Also cllIthorized by the Board of Directors ,vas the issuance of special, ten-carat gold, lapel emblems for cll1.,.ent district 01/(1 chaptm' officers. Emblems have been authorized for these officer designations: District President, Vice.President, Secretary and Treasurer; Area Counselor; al/(l Chapter President, Vice.President, Secretary and Treasurer. They will be available fmm Intemational Headquarters about March 15 this year. Price: $6.00. The Board also authorized the commercial recording of the top three choruses in the 1954 Inter· national Chorus Contest. The proposed album, expected to be recorded by Decca, will be available only in 45 and 33.1/3 rpm speeds. The selling price has not yet been determined. The albwn will be made available only thmugh Decca dealers. No stock ,vill be. carried by Intemational Headquarters. A special Committee has been appointed to study the requirements of Intemational Heallqlwrters to determine the needs of the pmposed Headquarters building. The Committee is expected to report its findings to the E~'ecutive Committee this April. It is hoped that architect's plans and cost estimates can be presented to the 1954 Convention in Washington. Other Board decisions: tentative approval to send Evergreen District volunteer quartet to enter­ -tain in U. S. Army's Alaskan Command; Gmnted District Advisory Committee an additional jive months to study proposed revision of the Standard District Constitlltion; Approved idea for an educational brochure to aid chapter officers in the execution of their duties; Recommended that uniform titles be used in designating Society officers, including Area Counselors; Removed "Acting" fmm the Intemational Secretary's title and appointed Bob Hafer "Intemational Secretary." Tentati-vely approved the discontilwance of the Mid·Winter Meeting as presently constituted to re· lieve the host chapter of responsibility and to pmvide more time for business sessions of the Inter· national Executive Committee 01/(1 International Board of Directors. (The possibility of iucluding a District Presidents' Conference and their joint meeting lVith the Board at the Winter meeting is also being considered.)
