It is not too early to bring to the attention of all members the Annual Dinner Meeting which will be held on Friday, May 7th at Ship Inn which is located in the basement of the Museum. Speaker will be Mr. Thomas E. Appleton and his program is entitled "The Allan Line - by Sail and Steam to Canada". Details of menu and cost have yet to be finalized but will be announced next month in these pages. All members are invited and guests will be welcome, but as space will be limited we suggest that requests for tickets be sent in as soon as details are announced.

We thank those members who have now renewed their memberships by paying outstanding fees. We do not send out billings at renewal time since postage costs would be too great, hence the fact that renewals are due in October is always announced on the front page of this publication well in advance. Overdue notices are normally mailed in November but the postal strike necessitated a delay this year and the notices were not sent until after the holidays. We appreciate your prompt replies.

In the New Member Department, a hearty welcome goes out to David Bull of Toronto, to William Gale of Port Colborne, to Henry Daciuk of Hamilton, to Cecil Roy Cole of Morrisburg, to Charles F. Cobb of Kingston, and to Benjamin E. Mason of Midland, Michigan.
