Branch 63 ANNOUNCEMENT All members of Branch 63 who have loans on their membership certificates, are requested to pay the interests due thereon before the end of November. Payments made during December will be credited at the Home Office in January after the loan statements will have been completed and mailed to the branches. Therefore, the statements to be issued in January will not include credits for payments made in December. To avoid misunderstandings, please make interest payments or payments on the indebtedness before the end of November. Under no circumstances should the interest payment be altogether neglected, because in such a case the interest overdue must bei added to the indebtedness which not only will increase the interest burden but also reduce the proceeds of the membership certificate if the member should die, thereby depriving the beneficiaries of the benefits intended them to receive.
