In conclusion, Council would again like to emphasize that
we have a President who is really ready to help us, not
only to maintain our position in the world of Literary
Societies, but also to become somethinh unique and whorthy
of the name of the world's greatest novelist.
To do that, every member must exert himself or herself
and make a supreme effort to find more members. It is no
use sitting back and deploring the lack of youthful
recruits, we must find the more nature people who are
ready to join us in carrying out our aims and objects.
That is the message Council would give you this year.
