than fifty representation shall be
through the president or her represen-
tative only. Clubs numbering fifty and
100, their representation shall be
through the president and one delegate;
for large clubs, one delegate shall be
allowed for every 100 members"

other change was e the effect that the
council could be called at the request
of the board of directors or twenty-five
members of the council representing as
