All members are requested to pay their monthly dues, if at all possible, at the monthly meetings so ihat I would not have to make housecalls.

Those who have loans on their certificates, are urged to reduce these loans or, at least, to pay the interest due thereon, for their own and their beneficiaries’ protection, because unpaid interests must be added to the loan which, if unpaid, will mean ihe ultimate reduction of the benefit.
