In
the
last
published
list
of
new
members
the
name
of
Mr.
E.
R.
Chisholm
appeared;
this
should
have
been
Miss
E.
R.
Chisholm
and
we
regret
the
mistake.
It
will
be
a
great
help
to
the
office
if
Branch
Secretaries
will
see
that
full
and
correct
titles
are
included
in
application
forms
for
membership.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Technically
all
were
due
not
later
than
June
30th.
We
have
on
our
books
a
total
of
over
1,500
full
and
associate
members.
On
June 30th
586
subscriptions
had
been
paid
for
this
year.
The
former
rule
by
which
all
those
who
had
not
paid
by
that
date
were
liable
to
be
fined
10s.
on
re-admission
to
membership
has
been
revoked;
and
we
hope
that
those
members
who
are
still
in
arrears
will
take
advantage
of
the
concession
in
the
right
way,
and
let
us
have
their
subscriptions
forthwith.
WIiO
DID
I’1?
It
must
almost
certainly
have
been
some
probation
officer,
giving
up
the
unequal
struggle,
who
inserted
the
following
advertisement
in
&dquo;The
Times&dquo;
recently:
&dquo; Wanted,
responsible
APPOINTMENT,
minimum
work
and
four-figure
salary
with
unlimited
expense
sheet;
will
travel
anywhere
in
luxury
only;
if
really
essential
could
supply
references.&dquo;
The
suggestion
was
made
to
us
(bv_
a
P.P.O.)
that
the
advertiser
should
have
applies
for
a
post
as
a
P.P.O.
