1924 CONVENTION.

The Annual Convention will be held somewhat late this year, and this notice is therefore only a preliminary one. The Agenda, which is usually printed in the January issue of the "White Ribbon,” is this year being |>ostponed till February, as it was impossible to arrange for an Executive meeting to be held in time for necessary preparations to be decided on for insertion in the January number. The opening date will probably be Thursday, the 20th of March, the usual preliminary Executive meeting being the preceding day. To this Executive meeting are summoned not merely the Executive officers, but also all Superintendents of Departments who are able to attend Conven tion, and representatives of District Pnions, preferably the President of isich. hut if she is unable to be present, then the Secretary, or failing her, the Treasurer. Unions elect delegates to represent them at Convention on the hasia of one delegate for every 100, or fraction of 100, financial (fully paid up) members, the delegates to be members of the Union they represent, or of some other Union in the same District. Unions that are unable to elect a delegate, but desire to ho represented by a proxy, aiie reminded that early application to me is necessary to ensure the appointment of a proxy, and that no proxy can lie appointed unless directions are sent, in writing, and preferably in a sealed envelope, for voting on any proposal for altering th** Constitution nnd for- election of New Zealand officers. No delegate can represent more ithan one Union; and all delegates must present their credentials from th»President or Secretary of the Union they represent at the earliest opportunity to the Recording Secretary. Names and status of delegates should is- sent as soon as possible after appointment to the Recording Secretary for the preparation of the roll, and all who require hospitality should communicate at once with the Convent ion Hospitality Secretary. Mrs X. Jones, .’l7 (Jill Street, New Plymouth. Unions that desire to nominate for the positions of Dominion Superintendents of Departments are invited to send in at once the names of members they consider to be suitable for such. The White Ribbon Hymnal (English edition) is used at all Dominion C«n

vent ions, and delegates ar recommended to bring their own copies. With every best w ish for an inspiring Convention and a year of loyal and successful work, 1 am, yours in W.R. bonds, KATE M. EVANS, Recording Secretary. C/o E. F. Evans, 'Beaumont, Otago.
