We recommend that the eligibility of a person for support shall be determined, as heretofore, by the Board of Support and Pensions according to the rules and regulations of Synod. Action of Synod: These recommendations were adopted. Discontinuance of Pension System (Unprinted Memorial 142) . This memorial requests that Synod abandon the Pension Sys- tem and leave it to each worker to provide for his own old- age needs, Report of Committee 12 We recommend that Synod reject the unprinted Piepkorn Memorial advocating discontinuance of the Pension System by. Synod as such. Action of Synod: This recommendation of rejection was adopted. Appeal from the Decision of the Board of Support | (Unprinted Memorial 170) , This letter from Mrs. Marie Aderman appealed from the de- cision of the Board of Support not to grant her support. Report of Committee 12 We recommend that Synod affirm the decision of the Board of Support since the committee is convinced that the Board of Support acted in conformity with the regulations of Synod and the estab- lished practice of such Board. We further recommend that Synod advise the appellant to use the other means which Synod has provided for cases of this type. Action of Synod: These recommendations were adopted. Synodical Dollar Chart (Memorial 906) This memorial requested that Synod discontinue the use of the Synodical Dollar Chart, because of the misunderstanding arising from its use. Report of Committee 11 Since members of the Fiscal Office informed your Committee that they have decided to discontinue the Synodical Dollar Chart, your Committee deems no further action necessary. Action of Synod: This report was received.
