MEET TO CONSIDER
 NEW CONSTITUTION
Members of Local Y. w. c. A. Con vene-History of Present Basis Of ..
 Membership Recited.

Mrs. George Traut, president Of the New Britain Y w. c. A" presided al last nights meeting for the consider ation of the new constitution.
 Before a small gathering of mem bers, which included many of the d. rectors, Miss Elizabeth Rogers told the history of the present basis of m embership, how it developed and how 1t came to be adopted by the Ma tional Board at it's convention ln 1910. She made it Clear that the Ma tional Board is a representative body made up of representatives from diff ferent sections of the country; that its constitution Is voted by local as- sociations and that any changes must necessarily be approved by local as- sociations before being adopted. At present there is wide interest in the proposed change in the membership basis, which would makekactive mem bership possible to a larger group. A commission was appointed at the Hot Springs convention to make further study of this question and to report at the next biennial in@41924.
 The new constitution, as read by Mrs. Humason, increases the board of directors from 21 to 25, provides for more general meetings yearly, defines more explicitly the duties of the var ious committees and provides for more frequent change in board and committees. It will be voted upon at the annual meeting of the association next April. the constitution requiring that changes first be presented at a public meeting for discussion and then voted upon at subsequent reg ular meeting of the entire association.
 The New Britain Y. w. c. A. is strongly in favor of greater latitude in choosing its electors, as we'll as ex- tending it's membership to all those who are committed to it's purpose, no matter what their church affiliation and who will be active in the promo tion of that purpose, which Is to make life more abundant for all young women.
 Basletry Class.
 Basketry and reed work class meets tonight at 7:3o. A general knowledge of arts and crafts work will also be taught, including design and the making of Xmas cards.

Last night hundreds of "buddies" were reunited and even through the early morning hours, de- tails of battles that held the front pages of newspapers. during the war period, were recounted.

 Boys" he said, "I'll never miss an- other Legion convention as long as I live. My supper is waiting for me you know how far I'll go for you- gangway men"
 The veterans then shouted Hanford MacNider retiring national command CT and marched with him through the streets in the same manner.
