Reorganization of the Pan-State So- ciety of Washington was perfected last week and the name changed to the All States Officers’ Society. Heretofore the membership was lim- ited to active officers of various State socleties. At the recent meeting, how- | ever, the by-laws were changed to ad- mit present and past officers of the State groups or members of the old Pan-State Society. The new organization will seek to promote fraternal relations among State society membérs and to bring the | officers into closer contact. Washington to a large extent draws its population from all States, and offi- "cbn of the composite group here feel they can serve a real need by bringing representatives of widespread com- | munities together in social communion. | The All States Officers’ Society will meet the first Monday of each month. At the forthcoming session in Decem- ‘ber it 1s planned to coglpleu arrange- ments for an “all State” entertainment to be held some time in January. Officers of the society, elected last week, and the State socleties which they represent are: Lee Lamar Robison, Kentucky, hon- |orary president; Miss Bede Johnson, Minnesota, president; W. E. Hoffheins, West Virginia; J. M. Otterness, Sonth | Dakota, and Mrs. A. R. Balley, Illinols, | vice presidents; Dr. W. N.
