Northeast Folklore Society Newsletter
As of September 1, 1964, THE NORTHEAST FOLKLORE SOCIETY is incorporated as a non-profit institution, the primary purpose of which is "to collect, preserve, study, and publish the songs and legends, tales and other traditions of the New England-Canadian Maritimes area." One of the things this will mean is, of course, that contributions to the Society are utterly deductible for income tax purposes up to the limits prescribed by law. And by the way, thanks are due to Herbert T. Silsby II, of Ellsworth for taking care of all the legal arrangements for us.
