1935, together with his wife, Lydia Schuelke, conveyed said
premises by warranty deed to George H. Kohtz and Mildred Kohtz,

interest in said premises to George H. Kohtz and Mildred Kohtz,
husband and wife, as joint tenants and not as tenants in common;
and be it further

Alterations of, and Amendments to, “Handbook” Referring
to Board of Directors and Boards of Control

The Board of Directors through a subcommittee had sub-
mitted a compilation of the stipulations of the Synodical: Handbook
as contained in the 1937 edition, referring to the duties of the
Board of Directors, chiefly in its relation to the local oards of
control. Many of these rulings no longer apply. A nu ber of
changes were therefore suggested by the Board of Directors.

Committee 9 had studied these matters and was prepared to
bring in its report and recommendations. These were not heard
by Synod because the time was short and the recommendations
many and complicated.

Action of Synod: This whole matter was referred to the new
Committee for the Revision of the Handbook.
