emily was cast aside pending further
discussion. The federation board

BALI, president Of the local Seventh
District Federation Of Clubs and the
invitation suggesting that Indian
apolis be made the permanent site
was received from Mayor Reginald
Sullivan and the indianapolis con-
vention bureau.
Location in Favor
1t has been the custom for the
federation to meet in indianapolis
in alternate years, but with the
growth of the federation, it has been
found that few cities are equipped
with convention facilities to con-
veniently accommodate such a large
group. The central location of In
dianapolis also is an argument in
its favor.
The convention bureau has offered
TO the federation clerical aid, regis
tration service, entertainment and
other committee details heretofore
the responsibilities Of Seventh dis
trict, the Hostess Club.
Dates for the convention were
changed from October to Nov. l,
2 and 3. Headquarters will be at the
Claypool.
