10 FRATERNITY Zigmund Palagyi (Elyria, 0.) and William Szuch (Sharon, Pa.) represented our second generation membership around the conference table.

The fact that our present production is very close to the two- million-dollar mark seems to justify our confidence in this contest.. Our faithful home office employees were not neglected during these Council sessions. A new pay scale, based on the merits of the individual employees, was introduced. New arrangements were made relative to paid vacations and sick leave benefits. Since there is neither time nor space available to go into the numerous other important resolutions passed during the
