the chairman of the credentials com
mittee, Mrs. A. B. Cordley, Corvallis,
and to the state corresponding secre-
tary, Mrs. ]. A. Petit, $40 East Tay-
lor street, Portland.
"The program committee has deem
ed it wise to make some changes in re-
porting the activities Of the past year.
Owing to war conditions standing COM
mittees were able to do little work and
this being yearafor a change of ad-
ministration, with possible changes Of
committee chairmen, it seemed best to
eliminate committee conferences and
give more time to speakers who have
vital messages for club women. We
will therefore have a. speaker from the
state board of vocational education,
one from the national social service
bureau upon Americanization and one
from the newly created child welfare
commission. Ample time is to be Civ
en- for delegates to inspect the Agricul-
| tural college and q delightful luncheon
followed by convocation on the cam
pus is to be given for the delegates
by the college faculty. President Kerr
will deliver an address at this session.
I 'The musical features promise to be
delightful and will give the club wo-
men an opportunity to learn of this
phase of life at the college.
"Ths year bids fair TO eclipse any
former year in attendance. See that
your club sends full delegation and
let us turn our eyes toward a renewed
activity in clubdom.'
The call also contains the amend
ments, to the constitution which will be
offered. The most vital of these asks
that the federation meet annually i'll
the spring at place and time desig-
mated by the board of directors, that
the dues be increased from 10 to 10
cents and that five cents per capita be
set aside for the president s travelling
fund; that the section be struck out
that provides that no member shall be
eligible to the same office for more
than two consecutive years.
