Dear Fellow Worker:

In going over our files we are sorry to note that your
membership in the American Association for Health, Physical
Education, and Recreation has recently expired, We want to
thank you for your loyal support in the past, which has meant
much to the Association, and to express the hope that you may
be interested to renew your membership in the near future.

The primary objective of this Association is to promote
the development of adequate programs of health education,
physical education, and recreation in the schools and in other
social institutions, To do this we must first build a strong
professional organization which can make its influcnce felt,
For example, the Association may soon sponsor an amendment to
Senate Bill 1620, the "Wagner Health Bill," which if accepted
and passed would, the first year, provide four million dollars
which could be distributed to states to pay for the direction
and supervision of school programs in healthful living. Can
you imagine how much this would mcan in the way of cxpansion of
our programs? Several other important projects are also under
way. Other activities and services which the Association is
engaged in are indicated on the blank.

The National Association necds your help, We sincerely
hope you will send in your membership on the blank which is
enclosed for your conveniconcc,

Sincercly yours,

RP Veitins
