infailing devotion from 1932 to 1939, was filled by Mr. J. J. Ohlis of
Park.in March, 1940.

transact matters of administration and principle. Mr. Geo. A.
Huggins attended these meetings as actuarial adviser. Our Sub-
gommittee on Publicity met with the Subcommittee of the Board
‘Directors on Pension on October 29, 1940.

- The five local members held bimonthly meetings to pass upon
‘apport applications as submitted by the thirty-two Districts’
subcommittees. Several times such routine business was transacted
‘the presence of the entire Board, giving the members at large an
pportunity to become familiar with this branch of the work.

3. The District boards have faithfully, intelligently, and har-
oniously cooperated with us in determining the validity of the
claims and the degree of need in the various Support cases.
