Approxinate cost of producing one issue of iri par;es is ~~100. 00, which includes printinr,, paper, covers, eupplements, photos, typesetting, wrapping, addressin8, Mailing and other incidental expenses. If anyone thinks he can get out such a publication at a lesser cost,he is welcome to do so. The wise-guy advisers instruct the editor to ‘.’get enough advertisements to pay f’or cost of production”. Once more we invite these gent~emen to “try and 0 et it” thenselvee. Sounds easy to “get advts”, but just go out and try soliciting same. Practically all current advts. were procured by the editor- himself. \’/here are all of these “advertising nanagere”? The editor has been notified that the llYRAAsubsidy has been cut onehalf. We have no quarrel on this score. L1Yll should be self-supporting, and would be if subscriptions were doubled, if individual clubs would kick in a f’in or a sawbuck, and if’ only a few more gallant patrons and sponsors would materialize. MYIJ’ e ~aethead list shows a ·eI!IB.ller group of Patrons and Sponsors for Vol. I than f’or Vol. II. N’o publication can pay its way without adequate subscription, and the nore subscribers the cheaper it is to :produce. i’ie are not trying to nake a penny,and the editor does not receive reI!IU?leration for his work, hence it would be a pity and a disappoint~ent to stop production when the answer is so simple.double the subscription list, patrons and sponsors.

A resolution. was passed to the ef’fect that HYl! increase circulation by including power-boat and prototype mat’erial.It was voted that an expanded committee be appointed to pass upon this resolution, and to fix the lAYRAA subsidy not to exceed ~150,00. It was voted that the Nat’l Sec. contact.all YYRAAclubs, with a .view of securing more subscriptions. Votes of’ appreciation were extended the Natl. Seo. and the editor of Mnf, It was voted that Art.V, Sec.I or the Constitution be anended to read: “The of~icers who shall enforce the Constitution and Regulations of this Ass’ n shall be a President, a Vicepresident, a Treasurer, and a Secretary, who shall sold office for one year,. COUME_NCING THE 1ST DAY OF JANUARY NEXTFOLLOWIUG THEIR ELECTION”.. ~ Tep orir,inal clause reads “for one year, or until their successors have taken office”, Article VI, Section 8 iten 7 of “Order of Business” which reads “Appointment of Cornnittees by the n!:)wly elected President” was voted deleted, it being claimed that. this item became inconsistent by the passing of’ amendment to Article V, Sec. 1, as quoted above. l::YRAA Editor’s Note: Art. IX,Amencments,’ constitution, states “the Coneti tution r,ay be anended by a 2/3 vote of 1.lenber Clubs at the Annual or a Special Ueeting” BUT, Section 2,same Article states that a proposed anend- ment SHALLNOT be entertained unless it has ben submitted IN ‘.7RITING by the proponent lJeriber Club and prope?’ly attested by the Secretary NOT LESS than 60 days prior to the annual or special meeting at which action isto be taken”.

KRAUSSTROPHY Sec.J, Travel Expenses was voted to be changed ao that the National Preeident would be denied travel expenses to an Annual tieeting, and that the National Secretary only ,rould be able to collect such expenses. Sec. F, National Championships, Clause e (entry limit) was voted to be changed as follows: “The basic entry limit is two yachts per club; and on& additional entry is allowed for each five yachts REGISTERED in excess of the first ten. However,the host club has the right to increase the basic lil!lit to three per clu~, provided that a statement to that effect is nade at the time of filing application with the Nat’ 1 Secretary.” It was voted that Clause b, Sec. K, Regulations, be suspended on Jan. 1;1947,and that the item be deleted. This cancels payment of ~5.00 per diem expenses for Chairmen of the nace Committees. (Editor’s Note. He have no quarrel with the motions passed, but believe that Amendr!ents to the Uonstitution and Regulations should be made legally and according to the procedure outlined IN the C0 nstitution.Otherwise, it will· oe inevitable that undesirable legislation will result at some future Annual Heating if unchecked right now.
