consult ation with the School of Business Administration at the University of' Minnesota ,
the Operating Commit tee decided that it would be best to set up a ne11 system of r ecords for the national office. Harge.ret Benton was employed as Office r-1anager and has
been hard at work since November 1, revising the office system. The NCFR office had
grmm like Topsy, and there had never been time ''hen all records could be modernized .
The Exe cutive Commi t t ee visited the ne'' office in December and found the new procedures
most satisfactory.
THE 1956 CONFERENCE
President-elect David B. Treat will act as program chairman . The t heme is "Mental
Health, Marr iage and the Family". The date of the Conference has been set for August
16, 17, and 18 at Boston University . John T . Greene, Department of Sociology, is
local arrangement s chairman • . The Board of Directors and the Executive committee \Jill
meet August 14 and 15.
Has your state council elected its representative to the Board of Directors ? This is
important since t he Board of Directors i? the governing body of the NCFR . Elect a
person who can come to the Boston meeting .
li!EMBERSUIP DRIVE
Interest in family life is growing rapidly at all levels , in teaching, research, coun se l ing , and parent education . It is imperative that the NCFR keep up in m bership
em
growth ~o1ith the gro,~ing family life movement · so t hat the organization may be in a
bet ter pos'lt ion t o furnish leadership . The national office is called upon const ant ly
for advice on program planning, materials, speakers, marriage counse ling, marriage and
divorce reforms, and so forth . The mail runs as high as 100 pieces per day . W
ith the
�-2-.
present budget it is impossible to serve all those who a;re asking for assistance.
Since NCFR income comes largely from membership dues and contributions it if? hoped that
the membership can be increased by ~000 new members during 1956.
Mildred Morgan, Department of Home and Family Life, Florida State University, Talahassee, has accepted the job as membership chairman and is making plans for a membership drive. Would each of you please send on the enclosed form the names of at least
5 other family life leaders who should be interested in the NCFR.

COP~ECTION
TO THE FIRST NEWS LETTER
In reference to the short account of the origin of the NCF'R which appeared in the
fi:rst news letter, Professor Joseph K. Folsom writes, "As one of the founders in
193~3, I remember the very decisiv·e role of Professor Paul SaY".ce of the Lm·J Scbnol uf.
the Uni'lersity of Iowa, v1ho at great expense to himself called the meeting in New
York which launched the organization. In this he was assisted and advised by Dr.
Ernest vJ. Burges::; and also by a group of us in New York under Rabbi Sidney Goldstein
who in 1936 had founded the similar functioP.sd New York State Conference on Marriage
and 'I'he Family. Since Professor Sayre becam~ l..ess active after a fE:'W years hi.s
irrrrJortant initial role is apt to be forgQttE.1n, No one deserves greater credit for
carrying on the NCFR through years of difficulty and years of prosperity than Dr.
B'.irgess . 11 Professor Sayre i.Jas the first president in 1938. I am certain that all
of us i1ho are newer in NCFR appreciate this bit of history on NCFR.
~XE~_~'TIVE
CLASSIFICATIO~
C0Ml1ITTEE ESTABLISHES NEW _MEMBERSHIP
The e,xecutive committee considered how to meet the problem of increasing costs for
all operations of the NCFR. The cost of printing the Journal went up 15 per cent as
of January 1st. It was the concensus
the committee that the regular membership
dues should not be increased. In the past many of the regular memb<:rs have been
contributing members, giving from $10.00 to $25.00 a year. The executive committee
has now set up a ne-w membership, sustaining membership, ranging from $2:) .00 to $100.00.
It is hoped that as many as can -will renev1 at the contributing or sustaining membership class.

NEWS lETTER
NATIONAL COUNCIL ON FAMILY RELATIONS
1219 University Avenue, S. E.
r~nneapolis
Hay 1956
14,
~nnesota
Vol. l No. 3
FROH THE PRESIDENT 'S DESK:
I wish to thank the membership for the excellent response to the January News
Letter. This News Letter will bring you up to date on executive action taken at
the meeting of the Executive Comm:i.ttee in New York in March, and report on some
plans for the future, and other developments.
Judson T. Landis, President, National Council on Family Relations
University of California, Berkeley 4, California
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
The call to the total membership to suggest nominees for the different offices
seems to be the most democratic procedure for NCFR elections. It was much easier
for the nominating committee to draw up a slate of officers when they were provided the many names suggested by the membership. The nominating committee was
_made up of: Gerald Leslie, Chairman, Harjorie Cosgrove, Lester Kirkendall,
Wallace Fulton, and David B. Treat, Ex Officio. Their report is given on a separate page. Check your choice for nevJ officers and return at once to ~nneapolis.
CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES
The ounstitutional changes submitted to the membership were approved by an overwhelming majority. The most important change was that which changes the time at
which new officers take office, from the close of one annual meeting to the close
of the next, and the provision that elections for the new officers shall take
place in the spring of the year preceding the ammal meeting rather than following
the annual meeting. This change does av.ray with the 11 lame duck" term following the
annual meeting and gives the new officers more time to plan the next annual
meeting.
THE
lVIE~'ffiERSHIP
DRIVE
The goal is 1000 new members in 1956. Mildred Morgan, Chairman of the:; Hembership
Development Committee writes that over 2,000 names of prospective members have
been sent by individual members and state councils. Invitations to membership
are being sent as soon as the lists are processed. Dr. Morgan is now in the
process of developing a National Membership Development Corrnnittee which vJill have
a representative from each state, in addition to a Central Advisory Committee on
Membership which will have one representative from each of the various professions
making up the bulk o.f the membership of NCFR. These two committees will serve to
carry on the membership promotion drive.
The national members "hip list .for each state v.D.ll be sent to each state council so
that sta.te councils can use this list to tie national membership in with local
programs.

NOTICE TO OLD MEJVJBERS
The $6.00 membership dues are not sufficient to meet the
increasing costs of MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LIVING and to pay the
costs of the national office and the increasing costs servlclng
organizations, The Executive Comnittee is opposed to increasing
the dues for all~ but we hope that in renewing, those old
members who can afford to do so will renew at the contributing
membership classification of from $10.00 to $25.00. Those who
have been contributing members might consider Sustaining
memberships.
Renew now and save the office the cost of billing.
�-5DID YOU FILL IN THIS FORM FROM THE JANUARY NEWS lETTER? IF NOT, COULD
YOU PLEASE SEND 5 OR MORE NAMES NOW? IF YOU DID RETURN IT EARLIER l\IAYBE Y0U
KNOW OF SOME ADDITIONAL NAMES.
GOAL--1000 NEW MEMBERS IN 1956
Family life leaders in all professions need the help the National Council on Family
Relations has to offer and the NCFR needs the additional membership in order to meet
increasing demands upon it. The most effective way to get new members is for you. to
recommend other family life leaders who could benefit by being associated with the
NCFR. If each of you would send just 5 names the national office would have over
12,000 potential members. With this list the NCFR should certain~ achieve the goal
of 1000 new members in 1956.
The national office will check the names you send to see whether they are already
members before invitations are extended.
WOULD YOU PLEASE SEND YOUR LIST OF NAMES TODAY

December 1956
Vol. 2 No. 1
NEVIS LETTER The Board of Directors at Boston recognized the service value to NCFR
members of the News Letter and included a small sum in the 1956-57 budget "for publishing
two News Letters". The Clara Elizabeth Fund and the University of California made possible the ones Judson Landis prepared last year. As your President, I feel three Letters are
important and will assume responsibility for preparing and mailing an extra one. March
(preliminary Annual Meeting program at that time) and May are tentative dates for pciblication of these other News Letters. Send any communications you wish to me, David B. Treat,
Clara Elizabeth Fund for Maternal Health, 302 \'1. Second Avenue, Flint 2, Michigan.
PUT THE DATES ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW August 21, 22, 23, 24, 1957 are the dates
for the Conference and Annual Meeting of NCFR at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana.
Plan to attend. Theme: COMPETENCE IN FAMILY LIVING: INTERPROFESSIONAL
APPROACHES. A. R. Mangus, Ohio State University is Program 01airman.
SECRETARY The Board of Directors at Boston authorized appointment of Wrrs. Vance
Jewson as Administrative Secretary on a half time basis.
DREAM YOUR DREAMS
Given an "X" number of dollars (don't think of too small an
amount) what could and should the NCFR be doing for marriage and family life in the United
States? What services should be available for training family life teachers, researchers,
counselors? How can the NCFR best serve the Family Life Movement? Dream your
dreams and pass on to us your visions. Sparked originally by iv'inston Ehrman's Evaluation Committee and handed on to a special Future Plans group that has opened up some
possibilities for developments, we do want suggestions for a bold NCFR ten year program.
Send suggestions to Wallace Fulton, The Equitable Life Assurance Society, 393 Seventh
