Junior Membership: I know there are members who don’t have $15 per year / $40 for 3 years email or would rather have a paper copy and will be glad to continue to send those. There are two reasons for this change, more people are living in an electronic age and the News & Views continues to be more expensive to print and mail. We are always trying to keep costs down and while we can’t control the postage charges, by using email we can cut down the cost of printing and will be spend- ing less at the post office. It has come to my attention while work- ing on show reports that some clubs are us- ing judges who aren’t APA members. Please check show rules that state that all judges must be members in good standing of the APA. I realize that in planning a show there is a lot to do and this is just a reminder. As you are reading this, it is time for me to start packing for the semi-annual in Avoca on May 12-13. If you would like any mer- chandise delivered there, please let me know, I will be happy to deliver it and save the shipping fee. I have been to Avoca a few years ago; it is a very exhibitor friendly show with a lot of activities planned for everyone including a balloon launching contest and rooster crowing contest.

White showing on the outside of the body is to be cut harder than white that is out of sight. Black is desired in the under-web of the wing-flights. The main tail-feathers and two main sickle feathers are to be black or greenish-black. The greater tail-coverts are mainly black, but, as they approach the saddle, they may become russet or red. The blending of the red body with the black tail is gradual, thus preventing any sudden con- trast. With the saddle parted, showing the under-color at the base of the tail, the ap- pearance should be red or salmon, not whit- ish or smoky. The hackle should be free from black, although a suspicion of black that can hardly be found would not cut the bird much. White in hackle will be cut harder than black. The wing-bars should be free from black, and all black in the primaries and secondaries should be out of sight when the wing is folded. "SHAPE OF THE FEMALE "Head—Of medium size and breadth.
