The chairman announced that possibly in the not too distant future there would be need for an annex to the museum, and such a thing might come to pass at the fair grounds, where antique farm machinery, tools and vehicles could be displayed. It was suggested that field directors be named in every one of the seventeen townships, the fifteen villages, and the five existing pities. They need not have a limit to their term of office--just as long as they were willing to be the eyes and ears and keep the office informed of available material. They need not be a meml>er of any organization. The society Will welcome volunteers for this activity. Shoppers of antiques could watch out for items that are connected with Mc- Henry county and inform the office of where they were seen. If ?very county organization would name an historical chairman, this would serve as another group of individuals "shopping" for the society. The membership classifications were announced as follows: Annual dues for individuals, $1: contributing individuals $5; organizations, $5; business ajid institutions, $15; sustaining memberships, $50; life members, (payment in one sum) $100.
