Junior clubwomen are expected
tn attend the convention in the
largest number since junior clubs
were first organized in this state.
This is because of the fact that
for the first time Juniors will be
permitted, under constitutional re-
visions taking effect at this on
vention, to nominate candidates
for the third vice-presidency, an
office that in the future will be
filled by a Junior clubwoman.
