That's exactly the corrective action that will be accomplished in District
#2, but I suspect will probably be negative for District #5, but
I'm not planning to move there any time soon (VVBG).

You might want to contact L. Von Nostrand. If I remember correctly he chaired
the last committee on the same subject.</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1> </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>MattK</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1> </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>In

<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> A little bit
ago I got a post from Cathy Reuther and it dealt with</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> the districts
as currently arranged.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> I got scratchin'
my head over this and felt that there were some</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> extreme geographical
inequities placed on some districts. I got out</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> my atlas and
got looking at the U.S.and marvelled at the distance</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> one would
have to travel in some districts to attend a contest in</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> "your own"
district.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> In some districts
the states seem to be smaller while other</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> districts
are composed of states that are voluminus in their</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> geographical
area.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> One area that
caught my attention is district #2. In my estimation,</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> district #2
seems to have a lower frequency of scheduled events</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> which appears,
to me, to be a function of the fact that the area is</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> too limited
geographically. With a slight expansion of their</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> geographical
area this shortfall could be corrected.</FONT></FONT></FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT COLOR="#000000"><FONT SIZE=-1>> Anyhow.................
I got studying the U.S. map and came up with</FONT></FONT></FONT>

to be quite similar and much more equitable than the</FONT></FONT></FONT>
