August 15, 1951 Verhovay Journal PAGE 5 OFFICIAL COMMENT (Continued from page 4) the improvement in the quality of work at the Home Office. Tha Introduction of modern punched-card tabulation has been the first step in the New Look at the Home Office. The quality of the work rendered by the Home Office employees has improved, efn ficiency in all departments has been introduced. The work which definitely has increased as evidenced by the increase of assets — now well over twelve million dollars — has been carried on without any increase in personnel. The New Look did not forget the fraternal aspects of our society. In 1948 the Board of Directors voted to grant paid-up life certificates to all members with whole life policies who attain age 85 and who have paid dues continuously for at least thirty years. Also the Board cieated a new fund for its young and old impaired members to give the needy brethren a helping hand. Ill also saw to it that our National Sport — BOWLING — grew to adult size. The last national bowling tournament, held in Chicago, Illinois, which produced a record number of 92 teaiws, provided an opportunity for approximately two thousand menJöers to participate in our fratei’nal life. One would think that all these changes would mean the culmination of the New Look program, yet strangely so, like the City of Pittsburgh, we have just merely sci’atched the surface. We can not be content with our present position. We have learned that he who stands still does not progress and he who would stay successfully in business must keep abreast of his competitors. Consequently the delegates of the Twenty-Second National Convention must continue the New Look program. It should begin where the Twenty-First National Convention, the Board of Dil’ectors, the Auditing Committee members (who did a thorough job in much less time), and the National Officers left off. The delegates ap this Convention will find that many changes in the form of amendments will be necessary if the New Look is to be maintained. It will for instance be faced with the selection of a new name for the Association. It will be given the opportunity to approve officially the position of Field Manager. It will be offered the task of removing branch managers from election by the members at the branch meetings. This provision is probably the most important one the convention will be faced with, and in the interests of the membership of the society it would be proper that the right to control the branch manager rest with the Board of Directors and the National Officers. Every successful insurance organization, fraternal or otherwise, has full control over their men in the field, consequently these organizations have improved the sendee to the members. Good field represent* atives who are assured of their positions do a much better job in selling insurance. There will be other items on the agenda which will inquire the utmost attention of the delegates. They will be asked to approve the consolidation of funds recently approved by various state governments. They will be requested to approve the provi« sion eliminating sick benefit membership as a requirement for eligibility to district or convention representation. They will be faced with approving the ending of the differentiation between the English-speaking branches and the Hungarian-speaking branches. Also on the agenda for consideration will be the resolution decreasing the number of directors from thirteen tq nine, and the resolution pertaining to members who belong to organizations declared subversive by the Attorney General. Besides many other items which will be on the proposed New Look program, there will be the ever important task of selecting the new Board of Directors, the National Officers, the Auditing Committee and the other committees necessary to administrate our Association for the next four years. The delegates to this Convention must decide whether they want to continue the New Look program begun by the 1947 Convention and carried forward by the elected officers of that convention. They will have the task of keeping progress working for us. The wonders produced by the people of the City of Pitts« burgh — the Home Office City — should inspire all the dele« gates to continue improving the society in the best interests of all the members. They will be making history for us, and the eyes of not only our members but many non-members as well will be upon them. Therefore, in behalf of all members of the Association we bid them welcome to our wonderful city of Pittsburgh — tha NEW LOOK CITY — and to the headquai’ters of a grand organization, an organization with a bright and successful future — the NEW LOOK VERHOVAY. May God provide them with the wisdom necessary to do a good job for us, and may He provide us with an ever-progressive, ever-growing, ever-fratemal insurance association!
