January 1959 Editor’s Notes
L. E. Wilt, Director

Your Director is back at work after being incapacitated for two and a half months with a severe case of arthritis. It is good to be at work again but the accumulation is terrifying

The dues notices are now being prepared and will be in the mail by the last week of January. Send yours in promptly.

We would like to see more members visit the historical building. Your Director is there daily, save Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. Books may be taken from our historical library, and you will be surprised at the wide variety of subjects available.

Plans are already being laid for the wide observance of the forthcoming CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL. A National Committee has been set up by Congress and is already sending out monthly bulletins. Most states will also set up Committees. Cities, communities and historical societies are being asked to participate. This Society will actively participate, for we have a wealth of material which has never been published. THE SETTLER will in the future carry much Civil War articles.

Have you secured "your new member"? If each of you do this, we will have our 1,000 new members. Then we can plan for an extension of our work and improve THE SETTLER.

Note: THE SETTLER is a quarterly publication of Bradford County History. This publication can be obtained by contacting us at bchs@CQServices.com. The cost of THE SETTLER is $4.25 (including shipping). THE SETTLER is also available in the Museum Gift Shop. You can automatically receive THE SETTLER by mail by simply becoming a MEMBER of the Society.
