forts under an experienced marketing manager, who will study the needs of the consumer and create insurance plans to meet the public demands; establish a conservation and membership Service Department. One of the observations being made today by the State Insurance Departments, Legislatures on State and Federal levels and by consumer groups, is that there is a lack of understanding of insurance by the consumer. This lack of understanding is applicable to the benefit provisions of an insurance certificate, to rates, policy provisions, such as cash values, loans and extended values. It has been recognized that a well informed and knowledgeable certificate holder is one of the best sources of advertising for any fraternal society. A Conservation and Membership Department can and will do much to bring about a fully informed membership, bringing about decrease in lapses and cash surrender, thereby adding to the growth of our Association. Your National Officers, the Board of Directors, our dedicated employees have never hesitated to accept greater burdens and greater responsibility for the success of any change. During the last four years, two of our National Officers left the Association for greener pastures and I am happy to state that they found what they desired, but let’s not forget that the burden of their duties was left with us. It is now being performed by your three National Officers, joyfully and adequately. And now again, at this Convention, as you will learn later, we are ready to take on added responsibilities and duties without hesitation in order to make this the most successful and effective Convention in our glorious history. It is a great honor and a joyful privilege for me to speak to you on behalf of my Fellow Officers, Albert and Julius, two Vice Presidents, John Balia and Louis Varga, the members of the Board of Directors and Auditing Committee, to express to you our appreciation and share with you our Resolution: “What you can do, or dream you can, begin it — for courage has power and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated; begin it, and the task is half completed.” May your stay be pleasant, may every session of this Convention be a joy filled with the spirit of fellowship, understanding and above all, faith and love. Again I say “Welcome”, “Isten hozott” “Es su casa”, This is your house. May God bless ail of us in it. 6. The Honoroble Milton J, Sharp greeted the Convention in a letter as did Mr. Raymond A Klee, Secretary-Treasurer of the National Fraternal Congress of America. 7.
