West Coqst Hoo-Hoo-Efte Clubs Now Numerous Enough to Plon Convenlion

The latest bulletin of Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 1 contains the interesting information that there are now enough clubs on the west coast that the lumberwomen can start thinking about state conventions of the order.

So, with Los Angeles, Eugene (Oregon), San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento and the San Fernando Valley already operating to put the going total at eight, plans are being framed to try and call a state convention sometime within the near future.
