    CHAPTER II.—CONTRIBUTION REGISTER AND CONTRIBUTION CARDS. ISSUE OF CARDS. (25.) When you have entered a new member in the Member- ship Register your next step should be to issue him the proper contribution card.^ (26.) There are nine different kinds of cards (apart from arrears cards) which an Approved Society may have to issue to its members. (i) A cards.—Men employed contributors. (ii) E cards.—Women employed contributors. (iii) C cards.—Men voluntary contributors entering into insurance before the 15th January, 1913, and being under 45 at the date of entry into insurance. (iv) D cards.—Men voluntary contributors entering into insurance before the 15th January, 1913, but being 45 or upwards at date of entry. (v) CO cards.—Men voluntary contributors entering into insurance on or after the 15th January, 1913—whatever their age. (vi) F cards.—Women voluntary contributors entering into insurance before the 15th January, 1913, and being under 45 at date of entry. (vii) G cards.—Women voluntary contributors entering into insurance before the 15th January, 1913, but being 45 or upwards at date of entry, (viii) FF cards.—Women voluntary contributors entering into insurance on or after the 15th January, 1913—whatever their age. (ix) H cards.—Special (Married Women) voluntary contri- butors. In issuing a card, therefore, you have to know the member’s class. If the Membership Register has been correctly kept, there will be no difficulty in issuing the right card. It is therefore most important to get (and keep) that Register correct. (27.) It is to be noted that Societies must not issue cards to members while serving in the navy or army, or in the mercantile marine in foreign-going ships. Such persons, (except navy members—who have no cards) as well as outworkers in respect of whom contributions are being paid by reference to work done, have special cards, issued by their employers. (28.) Before the beginning of each quarter contribution cards should be prepared for each member, great care being taken to issue the right card according to the member’s class of insurance. The name and present address of the member should be written on the card and his membership number may also be inserted.! It * As to members transferring from other Societies and from the Post Office Fund, see paragraphs (142) to (148). t In the case of voluntary contributors, the name of the Society and the rate of contribution should be inserted.
