Report of the Financial AdvisoryCommittee for 1973'

The portfolio's market value at the end of Sep-tember 28, 1973, was 25 percent above its totaladjusted cost. Securities in the portfolio are listedin the Table. The income estimated for fiscal 1973from securities represenls a 5.7 percent return onthe cost of the portfolio and a 4.6 percent return onits market value.

A special situation developed in Control Datawhich indicated a favorable future, and, on the ad-vice of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner, and Smith,100 shares were purchased. The special situationevolved. but the market value could not be main-tained in the general depression of the market whichfollowed. The portfolio was reviewed in detail onJanuary 31, 1973, by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner,and Smith. Sale of some $78,500 worth of stock wasrecommended but not initiated because of the pre-cipitous drop in market values. At what appearedto be the bottom of the market cycle, purchase of100 shares of General Motors was made with ac-cumulated funds. In the interest of security, themonies of the Jewell J. Glass Legacy, as the initialpart of the Membership Assistance Fund, were in-vested in a bond bringing 8/+ percent interest.

The Committee has undertaken a study of varioustypes of organizations with the aim of obtaining pro-fessional management for the Society's portfolio inaccord with the wishes of the Council; a small finan-cial management group was recommended as bestmeeting the needs of the Society.

Report of the Editor for 1973

The change to the new format was accomplishedsmoothly with the January-February (1973) num-ber. A shortage in paper stock occasionally forcedThe William Byrd Press to print our journal on thestock available rather than on that ordered. A tdtallack of paper actually held up printing of the July-August issue for a week.

Effort has been made to achieve higher qualityand uniformity of the author-supplied tables whichwe photograph and reproduce.

The number of papers received and processed re-mains about the same as in recent years. Statisticsare given in the accompanying table.
