Sl\IITH L. NULTER. Presillettt General Chairman, E:c Officio The President General's Message

I wish first of all to express my appreciation of the many letters and messages of loyal support and constructive suggestions that I have received. It has been a pleasure to acknowl­ edge them with reasonable promptitude, I trust; but I must ask your patience and indulgence for a little while during which time I hope to be meeting some of you, instead of writing to you. Things are under way I am glad to report. With organization completed and plans laid, many Committees of your National Society are in action. Now that summer has gone, the time has come for all our State Societies and Chapters to start a vigorous and aggressive cam­ paign along all lines of patriotic endeavor. The accomplishment of our objects rests to a great degree with the State Societies and Chapters, indeed, with every individual Compatriot. Your The Sons of the National Society has its function to perform in aiding, advising and coordinating your efforts. Ameriean Revolution Let us see what is being done. The observance of Constitution Day has been more universal this year than ever. The Magazine Governors of our States, to a marked degree, issued Proclamations calling upon their people to commemorate that great day on our national calendar. Nearly three fourths of the State quarterly Bulletin of the National Society of the Executives expressed their appreciation of the request of the National Society that they issue Sons of the AJDerican Revolution Proclamations for the observance of that day. The part played by our Society in the observance of Constitution Day under the leadership of the Committee on Constitution Day Observance,

P~llehed at Wa•hJnston, D. C., In July, Oetober, January and AprU. headed by its enthusiastic Chairman, Judge Bonniwell, was effective and noteworthy. The Katered aa •eeond-elau matter March Sl, 1924, at the po•t-ofliee at Wa•hington, D. C., under the act of response to their call was widespread. I am sure we were proud to hear the voice of our dis­ Aup•t 24, 1912. tinguished Compatriot, Governor Bricker of Ohio, coming over the air from Old Independence Hall on a program sponsored by our Philadelphia Chapter.

It is well that this should be so; for never did we have a clearer appraisal of the estimable National Society of The Sons of the American Revolution values of the freedoms enshrined in that immortal document, the Constitution of the United Organized AprU SO, 1889. lwu:orporated by aet of Consre81, June 9, 1906 States. We know that if we preserve those freedoms, even though all else be lost, we will come President General, Smith L. Multer, 245 Turrell Ave., South Orange, N. J. back as did our fathers of old. But if our Constitutional form of government should go down by attack from abroad or by corrosion ot neglect at home, then in the words of the immortal Lincoln, there will be lost, "the last best hope of earth." Qualifications for Membership (Extract from the Constitution) In the words of Churchill, we begin to see "the mellow light of victory." As a result, the great danger is that we may relax our efforts, forgetting for a moment that there is a war yet ANY MAN shall be e~~ible to membership in the Society who, being of the age of eighteen to be won.

. 99 ° Chairman Foreman of the Organization and Membership Committee hits the nail on the head when he says, "The most effective approach for new members is by personal contact," Constitution Day Observance not by the telephone or letter writing.
