interesting report Of the board
meeting in Washington. We have

the earliest date, and sending your
birthday offering to Mrs. P. r.
Rankin. your state birthday chair

to let the membership know more
about general federation activities
and to raise a fund the interest of

the federation program which is
expanding as the federation grows

The departmental discussion at
the convention was of so much in
terest to Mrs. Robinson that she is
planning to carry out the same
thing at the state convention. The
departmental and division chair

board members asked questions
about the things they were espe-
