Chuck:
I had a gut feeling about what you have stated. Even the International
President Radha Burnier has never taken any salary and worked for free
all her life.

This issue resurfaced in connection with the comment made in relation to
Bing's *severance* pay and he being one of the *highest* paid (I am
quoting from memory).

There is a very interesting comment in the Candles in the Sun, that up
until Miss. Dodge started funding all sorts of projects, all work was
done by volunteers. According to E Lutyens, this was a bad move. Now we
have Kern Foundation which look's like reincarnation of Miss. Dodge's
philanthropy.
