new downtown synodical office building in St. Louis will be utilized.
However, in view of the accelerating needs of practically all de-
partments of Concordia Publishing House, arising from the rapid
expansion and increased operations, even the space relinquished
by synodical offices will provide only a small amount of the
required needs. Therefore various plans for additional space are
being studied so that proper and adequate quarters may be pro-
vided as soon as possible.

At present Concordia Publishing House employs 322 men and
women in its various departments. According to the resolution
adopted at the previous convention a retirement program for lay
employees was developed and put into effect January 1, 1948. Four
Concordia Publishing House employees are now getting benefit
under the plan.

To comply with the synodical resolution that no one hold
more than one elective office, the Rev. Rud. H. C. Meyer and
Mr. Oscar P. Brauer resigned from membership on the Concordia
Publishing House Board of Directors. They were replaced by
the Rev. Kenneth R. Hoffmann and Mr. Harvey Kopp. Mr. Harry
J. W. Niehaus found it necessary to resign from the Board of
Directors soon after the last convention. His place was filled by
Mr. Wm. A. Lahrmann. The terms of office of the following Board
members expire at the time of the convention: The Rev. Kenneth
R. Hoffmann, Messrs. John Grundmann, Wm. A. Lahrmann, and
Harvey Kopp.
