We need those cards so we know just where we stand. Every man with a card in his possession is asked to return it to-his major at once, regardless of whether it has been signed or not. If a back call is necessary, we will arrange for that."

After, today machinery will be put in motion for the election of directors. Ballots will be prepared and mailed every member with instructions concerning the balloting plan.

-Those already signed will participate in the choice of directors and. as soon as that has been done the chamber will be officially functioning.
