in the coming year in every department
of work planned by the federation
and the loyal support of every woman
is asked for, in order that Utah may
not only be in the front rank, but that
she may hold first place when the re-
port of work accomplished" is read
at the next biennial meeting, held in
shall l say|Salt Lake City? In order
TO do this we must never forget IL is
a privilege TO belong to such an or
ganization as the Utah federation,
where we have an opportunity TO work
uplift the civic. moral and spiritual
standings III our towns, cities and
states.
Changes Recommended
Your president recommends several
changes that she thinks may prove 10
be effective in making the working
| plan of the federation more effectuaL.
The election of officers of this Organi-
zatiOn comes on the alternate years of
the election OF officers for the general
federation. This makes IL necessary
for the incoming president of the Utah
federation to give the report of the out
going presidents work, at the bien-
NAL meeting. 1t seems to me this
ldent would have the privilege of max
ing her own report and receiving eth
er the credit or discredit for work &C
complished or unaccOmplished. Again,
financial reasons mainly, is published
but once in two years, and, like the
election OF officers, comes the alter
nate years This makes il too far off
from the last biennial TO print the re-
ports given by the state delegates to
| the biennial. These biennial reports
should reach all the clubs, so that they
may see what has been accomplished.
thus creating in the individual club
more interest in the work of that or
ganiZation. As IL is, we are either one
year ahead or one year behind.
Secure Next biennial.
At any rate we are not working in
harmony with the plans of the general
federation, as lar as election time is
concerned. Another point in connec-
! ton with the election at this present
meeting, and possibly the most i'm
portant is the great probability of
Utah securing the next biennial. and
with that in view We must make prep
aratiOns now, even il later we find we
were too optimistic about il.
In the coming year let us bring TO
our work increased knowledge. unity
or purpose, and the same spirit of true
service that We have in the past. By
thus giving TO the federation the best
that you, as individual clubs, have to
give, be assured that the best of the
federation will come back TO you. to
inspire and uplift you.
