present, no matter how soon the
new commander may hope to start
it takes him about month to make
his appointments and then, the COM
mittccs have additional delay be-
fore getting organized.
IF two-thirds of each committee
remained in office after the con-
vention they could meet at the
close thereof and without delay in
their work decide upon future act
ivities based upon the action Of the
convention.
ut is therefore recommended
that the incoming Commander ap-
point all committees SO that one
third of those appointed on each
committee will serve for three
years, one third for two years and
one third for one year, and that
thereafter ono third of each COM
mittec be chosen by the newly elect
ed commander for q period OF three
years.
