A large turnout is expected. The Convention Book should present an overview of the work of each UNWLA Regional Coun cil and Branch for the past three years. We, therefore, urge all Branches to prepare material and photographs for publication, and to reserve printing space. It would also be desirable if each Branch would get some ads for the Convention Book. In addition to the reports of the Executive Board, the Con vention program will also include panel discussions. An entertain ment program for the member ship is also planned. It will in clude a fashion show, an exhibit of the entries in the First Com petition of Easter Eggs and Ce ramics and a dance. For young mothers attending the Convention with children, special nursery school classes will be set up for the youngsters.
