Indianapolis, president, presided at the two-day board meeting which ended today: _ The change of term had been requested by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs in order that the Indiana federation’s term of office would coincide with the parent organization’s and enable the state departments to function in harmony with’ the general federation's. Mrs. E. C. Rumpler read the revision’s committee's report and made a minority report that it was illegal to elect candidates in May who would not take office until the next May. Plan Is Outlined

The revisions committee provides that a president, second vice president, corresponding secretary and one trustee be elected at the May convention, the trustee being the only officer to take office at the close of the 1937 convention. Other officers would assume duties at the close of the 1938 triennial convention of the general federation. In 1938 a first vice president, third vice president and one trustee would be elected. All but the trustee would assume office at the close of the 1939 convention. In 1939, a recording secretary, treasurer and one trustee would be elected. The trustee would take office at the close of convention and the secretary and treasurer in 1940. : Mrs. Claude S. Steele, Knox, second vice presidént, offered a plan by which rotation of officers would not be completed until 1941. Both plans are to be presented before the convention in French Lick. Board members against the majority report of the revisions committee were Mrs. Steele, Mrs. William I. Ellison, Winona Lake, re-
