NORTH JERSEY BOARD The past season one of construction and planning. No time spent in going over anything that happened in the past which gave us the opportunity to study, plan and advance our ideas which we hope will be for the good of the Organization. We have a system which takes care of details in every City, Town and Hamlet in our territory and does not take up the time of our iKxecutive Committee, unless it is something serious and considered worth while to present. Our Executive Com- mittee is selected from the different counties and in which every organization is represented; high Schools, Y.M.C.A.s, etc. khach member of our Executive Committee represents the Board in the territory in which he resides and anything that should come up, differences, business, or otherwise is first taken care of and looked into by our Representative and in most cases settled right there and then. If too serious or too large a problem it is then presented to the Executive Committee. We are proud of the record and work of our Interpretation Committee. We ap- point an official Interpreter who works under guidance of our National Interpreter. All questions and requests for interpretations are referred to our official Inter- preter, who, with his Committee answers and settles all questions. Members are mostly active and all meetings have been well attended. Applications for membership have fallen off considerably, due to the depres- sion, as we charge $8.00 registration fee. One outstanding feature of this year's work has been the co-operation of the Coaches with us. SOUTH JERSEY BOARD One of the most active seasons we have ever had. On December lst, we held our Official Interpretation Meeting where we had 51 of our 68 registered officials present in addition to approximately 150 high school coaches, captains, players, and others interested in Basketball.- Our rule which states that a person missing three successive official meet- ings, will be dropped from the Board, has been effective in keeping our members up in their attendance. Assignments of officials were made for two complete interscholastic leagues this year. The schools this year used only registered officials, Constitutions of the various leagues requiring that only registered officials shall work their ball games. To attempt to get scholastic games in New Jersey without a card is next to impossible. Our fees are $5.00 per year, with a $5.00 initiation and $3.00 examination fee for beginners, making a total of $13.00 for the new member. This high fee eliminates all those who might take the examination, but who would not officiate many games. A great many inquiries have been received re. membership. Nine out of thir- teen who took the examination passed, their names being listed under separate cover for membership.
