When a Board Director is elected at Area Convention she may not be Federation Repâ€" resentative at that time, but she must be el‘ ected Federation Representative of her district at the following District Annual the next Spring and also at the District Annual the next year after that, or she automatically loses her right to serve on the ProvinCIal Board. The District has no responsibility in elect- ing a Board Director and should take no ac- tion at District Annuals other than to con- firm the eligibility of the candidates; that is, that no vote should be taken at District An- nual to determine which candidate is the most popular one to become Board Director. Life Memberships â€" Life Membership may be granted to a member, honouring her for her contribution to the organization provided that she is an active member in good stand» ing and has had at least 15 consecutive years’ membership in any one Branch Institute imâ€" mediately prior to the time the Life Member- ship is conferred.

It is tottering on its foun- dation, the walls are badly shattered and the roof is worn. The building trembles, and I think John Quincey Adams will have to move out before long. But he himself is well." When the above was published in a Church calen- dar. a lady in the congregation read it and wrote the following to the minister: "The house I live in is 82 years old. Considerin its age it is in good repair, though it does not loo as good as it used to 50 years ago. I have neglected to keep it painted, as so many women of this gener- ation do. To tell the truth I have been spending my time in interior decorating. The windows I look out of are fairly clean, and I am glad to tell you I have a reliable tenant in the upper storey.” (This was sent to the editor by Miss Edith Collins.
