spe c!al meeting. Friction was caused be-
tween the senior and junior cha piers
some time ago. when It was commended
that the chairman OF the Junior Daugh-
ters was eligible for re election. !.
After having considered solution OF
the matter. the executive tcommittee OF
the senior chapter to-day filed the tolioW-g
Ing report, which was adopted:
"As there is no provision made IN the
general State Constitution for the exis;
tence OF nm auxiliary, and as the original
Ign OF the cha pier In forming an aux
si!iary has been perverted, 1t Is the sense
of this committee that all members OF
the auxiliary over eighteen years OF age
should enroll their names on the chapter
roster. Then an auxiliary could be reor-
gapized as recommended by the History
Committee OF the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy
The trouble arose at the annual meeting
OF the senior Daughters, when the presid-
Ing officer ruled that Mrs. Frank Anthony
Make. who was renominate for auxil-
jary chairman, was Ineligible, aR her name
Was not on the rolls Of the senior chap
tor MS a member. ~
