Olsen for responding to my letter. All the camps will be happy to know that now they no longer have to pay dues for those registered members who have left their camps. (But wouldn’t Emma consider it pressure or insistance if Kate B. Carter herself told your camp that was what you would do?) Mrs. Olsen points out that our annual dues are only $1 for each member. But she does not point out that the four books we are asked to buy each year cost us $6 - $7 each. But all the Her fine sense of humor, camps now will be happy to know that they will no longer be receiving letters reminding them that they haven't purchased their four books for the year. and interest in world affairs was a delight.She has always been an avid reader and is noted for her fine book reviews, She is a native of New Zealand and is widely traveled.

But now Mrs. Olsen has used her authority to tell us this will be changed, and I thank her for it. When I suggested that we should “honor” the daughters as we did their parents, Mrs. Olsen wonders if I mean ?’’ What's wrong with public‘publicity ity that honors a daughter in place of the parents who are gone, but not forgotten? (Yes,I have been to county conventions and wondered why I went as there was nothing there for me as a granddaughter of a Utah Pioneer.) And I still challenge Mrs. Olsen and the whole DUP. I have never seen a new camp because of the availability of new members such as the granddaughters who were asked to join. DUP has given no incentive to these women to join, and I would challenge them to prove me wrong. Mrs. William Morrison Kaysville - | ; ree a — aan be rsToMeet AOE
