Vol. X.—No. 3.
MARCB.
1919.
Editorial,
How rapidly things change ! Our last issue was printed with the war still raging; this number is sent out while we are thankfully realizing the armistice. One of our correspondents wrote : " I quite agree with you as to the wonderful end of the war, and had a strange belief all along that God wanted Himself to put an end to it, and make us feel He had said, ' Thus far, and no farther.' " And surely we all feel that God’s hand was present in the way hostilities ceased!
Many thanks to all Old Chefooites who have so generously helped by donations and paying back subscriptions to reduce the debt. We are not quite clear yet, but we are sure that we soon shall be. A look at the Treasurer’s statement will cheer us all, and also perhaps stimulate us to further efforts. One of the best ways of helping is to secure new members; so, if you know any Old Chefooites who are not members, try...”

“...regular subscriptions do not cover the cost of producing even two magazines, as against our pre-war allowance of three magazines, per annum. A generous estimate (calculating from our receipts since July, 1916) would put our total membership from all branches at under 250. (We have the names of about 200 others ; but as they have not paid any subscriptions since July, 1916, we are hardly justified in including them in any reliable estimate. On the other hand, if all these were now to pay, the Association would be able to pay its way.)
A membership, then, of 250 would bring in about £31, whereas last year’s expenses for two magazines were £38, and we still have £8 of the debt to pay. Thus we estimate our receipts at £31 and our expenses at £46, at the same rate, for two magazines only. We hope the printing will cost less, and we have economized in this Magazine in not producing the Roll of Honour, though we are keen to produce a final one in our next number. We may therefore count on our expenses...”

“...FOO 55
The Association seems bound to face the matter squarely, and to decide either to let the magazine drop, or to reduce it, or to find some way of paying our increased expenses.
At present we propose to produce magazines only just as often as . we have the wherewithal to do it. We should like to produce three, but if we have not the money we shall have to print two only.
We are working to increase our membership, as the number of magazines we have to print would stand a large increase of members without appreciably adding to our expenses. • Would all help in this, please?
A suggestion has been made that the subscription be raised to 3s., but that might hit hard some whom we do not wish to lose as members. On the other hand, there is no objection to members voluntarily increasing their subscriptions !
Any financial help or helpful suggestions would be gladly received by Mrs. Scott Chailice or myself.
In conclusion, I wish to thank most warmly, in the name of the Association, all who have...”
