made on the recommendations of the

smaller posts than by the larger ones.
The plan is to have the posts number
in membership between 800 and COO.
The annual election of officers Will

Is probability, however. that. II it
is impossible to find time for the
election, Il nominating committee will
be appointed TO bring IN ticket for
