The National Patients' Committee had two meetings in June. At the regular monthly meeting on June 6, Paul Rogers, of Warm Springs, was elected vice-president to succeed A. S. Van Horn, of Maplewood, N. J. L. L. Weeks, president, appointed a committee to study a change in the National Patients' Committee pledge. The committee has since recommended a pledge to read:
