SPRING   BULLETIN-1962
BBP5RANT0 ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA, 114 W. 16 ST., NEW YORK 11, N. Y.
In our Fall Bulletin, we stated our temporary difficulties and provisional effort
concerning the big task of removal of materials, books, boxes, etc, to new quarters.
This is almost a super-human task, when regular day-to-day correspondence and book
orders (which we welcome of course) must be immediately attended. Editing activities
suffer under these conditions. Illness has also played a part. But we now turn to
long-range plans, and with continued loyalty and understanding on the part of our
members, we shall pull through this period. This Bulletin goes with Election Sheet
and Announcement of the superb Congress arrangements at Portland, Oregon, 20-22 July.
We announce below PREMIUMS IN BOOKS to provide lots of reading and as recompense to
all who continue as Members of EANA. Our desire is to give utmost value for members
dues of |5 for each year. Therefore, see re RENEWAL PREMIUMS at end of Bulletin.
PREVIEW OF NEWS & EVENTS» Eminent Brazilian Esnerantist. Prof. J.B, Itello e Souza.
who attended the Universal Congress under EANA auspices in Washington, D.C., in 1910,
and who participated in two recent EANA Congresses, visits us again. The recent very
tragic death of three of The Great Wallendas. most famous high-wire walkers in circus
history, included the brother of one of our long-time members. Esperanto continues to
progress in Puerto Rico under the leadership of Dr. Mario A. Agrait Marty with whom
we have cooperated to build a sound Esperanto movement there. Claudette Toro sends us
the first issue of the bulletin Bsnerantulo en Puerto Rico, which Dr. Agrait sponsors.
Dr. Lee Min Han, long a Member of the Sustaining Board of EANA, sends news of his Es-
peranto group and new Esperanto library, from his medical post in Gondar. California
has a new Attorney in the person of our 'Estrarano' J. Henrv Kruse. Jr.. in Oakland.
He vra.8 already an Attorney in New Jersey and has recently passed the California exam.
Rev. John Laws has concluded a successful Esperanto course which he taught at Colby
College. And at St, Elizabeth Hospital School of Nursing in Ohio, Sister Louise Marie
is Advisor to a group of 20 Esperanto students. These are some recent news items,
FUNDS FOR EXTRA OFFICE HELP* We do not receive salaries, and so for some time now
Mrs. Connor has been employed at public school teaching (we hope only temporarily).
The need for funds to pay extra office help is great. A new Member of the Sustaining
Board makes the following offers If 19 other members pledge $5 per month, he will
give an additional $5 per month. This would provide §25 per week for the HELP needed.
Our generous member is EDWIN R. FLEMING of Washington, D.C. Will YOU join with him?
And perhaps there are some who can afford to join the general Sustaining Board at $3
per month. Those who can afford 05 per month will qualify for the SPECIAL HELP FUND.
UNIVERSALA ESPERANTO-METODO (Dr. Benson)s A few years ago we received, from very
generous and helpful members, two copies of BENSONA for the EANA libraries. Now we
again urgently appeal to our members for ONE copy to send to a famed Espist author
in Europe, for important studies. If you have, or can secure, a good or fair copy of
"Universala Esperanto-Metodo", PLEASE send it to us. We will gladly pay a premium
price, or exchange for almost any number of books 'which you may want from our stocks.
