The seven-zone system . vil! be tried out for a one-year peér- iod following elections ta be held tramn April ist ta May 13th. Decision of the Board ta me- duce the number of zones tram 14 ta seven paved the way for the, second hait of an expei- ment which commenced last year. Prior ta 1954. the Board was comprised of 14 elected direc- tors and one director-at -large, aIl of whomn had voting power. Then ]ast yeam, the Board un- demtook the first haîf of the ex- periment by delegating voting power ta only seven of its 15 directors. It was agreed at that time that after one year, th.? number of zones would be re- duced ta seven for an alterna- tive one-year trial. At a meeting next year, like- ]y in March, the Board will meet again ta detemmine which was the mast successful. The status of the Chairman, who at the present time is Fred Cunningham of Windham Cen- tre, is not affected by the forth- caming change. As Chairman, he cornes up for re-election by the directors at their first meet- ing fallawing the annual meet- ing in July. As a director, however, Mr. Cunningham, like ail the cur- rent directors of the Board. will have ta be nominated andI perhaps campaign for re-elec- tion in a new andI larger zone.
