OVER 100 TEAMS AT GLENWOOD BOWLING ACADEMY PAGE 8 William Penn May 21, 1958 donation in 1958 equal to the sum donated in the year 1957. This Com­mittee does not feel that the Associa­tion can make such a financial con­tribution, and, therefore, on motion made and seconded, it is unanimously voted by the Committee and recom­mended to the Board that the balance in the William Penn Hungarian Re­lief Fund, be donated to the National Headquarters of the Coordinated Hungarian Relief, Incorporated. The Committee requests the Board to adopt this recommendation. Adopted. 14. The Committee next discusses the participation of the William Penn Fraternal Association in the Pitts­burgh Bi-Centennial Celebration. After considerable discussion, it is moved, seconded and unanimously adopted by the Committee, that a Fund be allocated by the Board, in order that the Association may be properly represented in the Pitts­burgh Bi-Centennial Celebration, and further, that donations from this Fund be made at the discretion of the Staff. The Committee requests the Boáid to adopt this recommenda­tion. Adopted. 15. A suggestion • is made to the Committee by Director CZERNAI, that the Association seriously consid­er the publication of a book on the history of Hungarians in America in the EngLish language. The Committee feels that the idea is a sound one. However, on motion made and second­ed, it is unanimously resolved by the Committee that this matter be brought up and discussed at a later date. Acknowledged. 16. The Committee next commences a detailed discussion of the Report of the National Secretary and Na­tional Auditor. a) The Committee discusses the 1957 Annual Statement and upon motion made and seconded, unani­mously approves same. b) The Committee accepts and acknowledges with thanks the Ac­tuarial Observations of the Actuary on Operations for the year 1957. c) Dividends. — It is unanimous­ly voted, upon a duly made and se­conded motion, that the Board be re­quested to adopt the same Dividend setup as was adopted last year, with the further request that all Verho­­vay American Experience 4% busi­ness, and all Rákóczi American Ex­perience 3VÜ9Ó business, and Ameri­can Experience 4% business, be add­ed at the rate of $1.00 per thousand of insurance, to be used toward the purchase of Additional Term In­surance, and to become effective with the beginning of the dividend fiscal year September 1, 1958. Adopted. d) Ön motion made and seconded, the Committee unanimously adopts and recommends to the Board for adoption, the following options to members whose Certificates become matured as Endowments: 1) Apply the full maturity amount toward a Paid-Up Life or Endowment insurance. 2) Apply the portion of the En­dowment amount required to pur­chase the same amount of Paid-Up insurance and refund the balance in cash. Adopted. e) The Committee next discusses the seriousness of the number of Cash Surrenders reported for the year 1957 and feels that some control should be established to govern these Cash Surrenders. After considerable deliberation it is moved and seconded and unanimously adopted by the Board that a system- of controls be adopted effective June 1, 1958 and all District Managers and Branch Mana­gers be notified of this new system. f) On motion made and seconded, the Committee recommends to the Board that it adopt a resolution to continue publishing in the official journal of the Association the pic­tures of those members who celebrate their Golden Wedding anniversaries, the necessary cuts to be prepared at the cost of the Association. The journal should continue to publish pictures of important Branch func­tions also. All other pictures, how­ever, shall be published only at the cost of the branch. In addition to this, each branch shall be notified that in the future, all pictures sub­mitted for publication in the official journal should be glossy prints, thus assuring clear and sharp reproduc­tions in the journal. g) On motion made and seconded the Committee recommends to the Board that, effective immediately, the listings of Sick Benefit payments be eliminated from the official organ. h) 'The Committee next discusses the publishing of the Dues remit­tances by Branches in the journal. It is felt by the Committee that this information should not be publicized since all branches receive an official receipt for the amounts remitted to the National Treasurer. Furthermore, the Committee feels that publishing these amounts might be an induce­ment for creating a motive for rob­bery or burglary. Therefore, on mo­tion made and seconded, it is una­nimously agreed by the Committee, and recommended to the Board for adoption, that the branch dues re­mittances no longer be listed in the official journal. Adopted. i) The Committee is now con­cerned with that portion of the Na­tional Secretary’s Report which deals with the branches that do not hold meetings and/or which do not pro­perly elect officers as stipulated in the By-Laws. On motion made and seconded, the Committee recommends to the Board for adoption that all branches be put on notice to comply with the By-Laws provisions by elect­ing at least a President and Con­troller at the December Branch meeting and that a date and place lie designated where the monthly meetings are to be held; and that in addition to this, each branch must keep proper minutes of its monthly meetings. In this connection, the Committee further recommends to the Board that the Fraternal Affairs De­partment of the Association should see to it that this ruling of the By- Laws be complied with. j) The Committee thus completes its deliberation of the Report of the National Auditor and National Se­cretary to the Board and recommends to the Board that said Report be adopted. Adopted. 17. Dr. Samuel C. GOMORY, Me­dical Adviser appears before the Committee to discuss the revision of tire Accident & Health claim form, with regard to the question of “Partial Disability”. After consider­able discussion, it is unanimously adopted by the Committee and re­commended for the Board’s adoption that when the Accident & Health claim form is to be revised, an ex­planation of the Association’s inter­pretation of the terminology of “Total Disability” and “Partial Dis­ability” be printed into the claim form. Adopted. 18. The Minutes of the first day’s Committee meeting are read and ap­proved. The Committee adjourns its ses­sion at 7:45 P.M. DR. ANDREW KOVÁCS, Committee Chairman JULIUS J.

On motion made and seconded, it is unanimously agreed by the Board that the National Secretary’s Plan of the Grouping of Branches 'into Convention Districts be referred to the Executive Committee for study and approval.

ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE BOARD. 4. The Committee discusses the letter that the Boai-d instructed the National Pi-esident to send to-lapsed or extended members in order to moi-e efficiently establish a method of conservation.

The Field Supervisors express their gratitude for being permitted to ap­pear before the Committee and it is the opinion of the Committee that the Field Supervisors, by their expres­sions and interest, indicate a very sound condition in the field.
