A new and varied class has been added flris year', one which has been

special award for this particular class this year, but I am su|e if yon r,vill

bea utifnl.
Yonr chairman of judges, Zula Fricks, is planning an open for-um duling
tire Philadelphia show, and I am sure many problemi that have troubled u:
can be settled. she requests that buttons which have been questioned in
Ilast shows and not proven correct be left out of your trays. when backs of
buttons are to be judged, please use a clear plastic or glass for the back of
your tray, if possible. This will gr.eaily aid your judges.
Many fine prog.ams will be given during the show. you will find it rvell
v'orth while to attend as many of them as possible.
caroline Toothe will be in charge of the presidents and Edito's Meet-
ing; I know this meeting wili furnish good material for the coming year..
All Presidents and Editors are urged to attend, or send a representati'r;e, anri
add their voices to the discussions.
The Pennsylvania members are working hard with your show chair.-
man to make this the best show ever'. The cooperation of everyone is neederl.
