Branch 452 A NOTE OF THANKS Again I wish to extend my sincere thanks to my good fellow-members who, when it became known that I suffered a serious automobile accident PAGE 3 in December, 1949 as a result of which I am unable to make my regular rounds fcr collections, immediately cooperated with me by remitting dues for 3, 6, 12 and even more months in some instances. In my unfortunate situation it is impossible for me to practice such courtesies as I did in the past, to help out my fellow-members. I would like to request every member of my branch, therefore, to assist me in my task by remitting the dues, as soon as they become due, but no later than the 25th of each month, when I have to remit all monies collected to the Home Office. The continued courtesy and cooperation of the good members of Branch 452 is sincerely appreciated. DENNIS PALFALVY, Mgr. MISSING IN ACTION PAUL A. LASSAN Paul A.
