. Another matter referred to the Board of Directors was that
o-ordinating Council of non-synodical agencies who draw
support from the members of Synod. (Gf. Proceedings 1950,
767ff.) Regulations for what is now called the Council of
eran Agencies have been set up. The Council is a voluntary
nization and has no jurisdiction over member agencies. The
d of Directors is to determine the eligibility of an agency in
is organization.
13. The Board of Directors, in conjunction with the Board for

Welfare, was authorized to draft the necessary regulations
for this new board. (Cf. Proceedings 1950, page 740.) A new sec-
ion was set up for the Handbook under the heading, “Department
Social Welfare,” Sections 13.01, 13.03, 13.05, and 13.07. A cor-
““¥ection should be made in Section 13.05, in the second-last line,
i by. inserting after the word “out” the words: “their task, recog-
& nizing” —_
=.8 14. The problem turned over to the Board of Directors in con-
-/ nection with the Board of Visual Aids (Proceedings 1950, page 816)

was taken care of in the fall of 1950 by the adoption of the follow-
frig resolution:

“Wuereas, The past years have demonstrated that a Depart-

- ment of Visual Education on the basis of sound business admin-
istration and policies of production and distribution can be a self-
supporting project; and

“Wuereas, Concordia Publishing House is Synod’s official and
only agency for the production and distribution of marketable ma-
terials; be it therefore -

“Resolved, That all projects and transactions involving physical
production, buying, selling, rental, and distribution of visual-aid
material be made the responsibility of Concordia Publishing House
in consultation with the Visual Education Board; and be it further

“Resolved, That Concordia Publishing House be requested to
make available to the Visual Education Board an annual budget
allowance out of the proceeds of its visual educational materials
sufficient to permit it to carry out paragraphs four and five of its
instructions from Synod, which planning and promotion shall be
done in consultation with Concordia Publishing House.”

15. In accordance with the resolutions of Synod, financial help
as indicated on pages 410 and 416 of the 1950 Proceedings was
made available for the Walther League leadership training program
and the Student Service Commission.
