jerewith presented to Synod for action, that of the Manitoba
and Saskatchewan District, where we recommend that Synod cancel
an‘indebtedness of $4,000, which has been on our books for many |
years.. The reasons for our request will be given to the Committee.
'. We desire to express our appreciation of the assistance given
us by the Fiscal Office in our collection and accounting; and also

of the advice given us from time to time by Secretary Streufert.
In addition to the management of Synod’s Church Extension
Fund, your Board has also been entrusted with a new duty.
: Building operations that were authorized by the Emergency Plan-
‘ning Council in defense areas were put into the hands of our
Board for final action, and grants were thus made from the War-
time Conservation Fund for necessary chapels at Planeview,
Kansas, Arlington and Newport News, Va., Willow Run, Mich.,
Windsor, Ontario, and Vallejo, Calif. ' These grants were made
under an agreement that this money is to. be repaid to Synod if
permanent congregations remain, but if such a result is not obtain-
‘able, then the money is to be regarded as having been expended
for the temporary spiritual care of defense workers.

In view of the very great task that will confront your Board
in the postwar period, a task in which the policies of the past
will be.a guide for the activity of the future, we believe that our
present mode of operation should be continued by Synod. It has
met every requirement in the past and should be adequate for
the future.

In conformity with a resolution of Synod, we now present
‘ a tabulation showing what portion of the Church Extension Fund is
held in each District of Synod, and also how much is ‘past due,
