\ Among Olher things discussed al
Z the rirst disLriIG Federation with the
needs vi the Federation was the mat
: Ter OF committee work. The point
9 brought out was chat it would be a
+ good IDEA TO have the chairman of
each district committee from the
q state committee. 1nis would bring
the district work in direct line with
the state and not add materially to
the burden, because OF the close
: touch they would have constantly
with both district and state.

Another thought with the First dis
trict was that of making the pres
fidents OF the districts the vice-pres-
lidents of the state, This too, seems
good point and worthy OF consid-
Grafton. The offices would be well
distributed throughout the state and
women selected with a knowledge of
the work as well as executive abil-
Iity.

! How would you like the idea OF
having the presidents address pub
lished each year in the district year
book? This to apply to both district
and state. She should and does
have her address full of suggestive
points that all the clubs should know
about. We would be glad to publish
them in Echoes and shall use Mrs.

IN q request for Mrs. Mathers.
