Propose Changes
In Constitution of
Augusta Y. NJ. c. A.

Certain changes in the constitution
of the local Y. NJ. G. A. will be taken
UP at the annual meeting which is
to be held next Monday evening at
1870 O'Clock at the "Y' building: chief
among which will be the proposed
change of the age of voting members
from IS to Is years and the change
of the board of directors from seven
to firteen members. 1t is customary
in the various associations of the
country to have the board of direc
tors number more than seven and
it was thought that it would be a
wise move to increase the number of
the local board. The board of di-
rectors for the coming years will be
elected at this time.
1t is also proposed to change the
nominating committee from three
members to five, three of which shall
not be members of the board of direc-
tors. This gives the membership a
greater chance to have their say in
the election of the board of directors
There are several other minor chang
es in the constitution to be taken up
at this time.
These changes were taken up at
special meeting of the members
which was held on Monday, April y.
and it was decided that they should
be recommended to the annual meet
ing

SUFFERS BROKEN
LEG WHEN TRUCK
CRUSHES Member

Reuel X. Knowles. a local truckman.
Is at the Augusta General Hospital
suffering from broken leg as the re-
suit Of peculiar accident which &C.
Cured Tuesday afternoon at the Nash
Printing Co. office on Oak street. Mr..
knowles had heavy parcel on his
truck for that company and after set
ting his truck to unload 1t jumped to
the ground. His brake was apparently
hot on as securely as he had thought
and the truck was on a slight incline.
when he reached the ground the
weight Of the parcel was sufficient to
cause the truck to move. with the re-
suit that he was pinned between the
running board of the machine and the
Nash building. He suffered a com
pound fracture of the right leg and an
artery was cut. The injured man was
rushed to the Augusta General Hospi-
tai, where it was reported last eve
ming that he was resting quite COM
fortably"
Mr. knowles has been singularly un-
fortunate, as 1t was but two years
ago that his left leg was broken as he
was drying up Rines Hill with his
team and he was confined to his home
for considerable period of time as a
result of that accident.
