240 Proceedings of Thirty-Third Regular Convention,

Report of the Committee.

The committee in charge of recommendations regarding KFUO
reported the receipt of the following communication from the Lu-
theran Laymen’s League: —

“Recognizing the fact that the radio provides the greatest single
means of doing mission-work, and knowing that Synod is burdened
with a mass of other important’ work, therefore be it

“Resolved, That the L. L. L. offer to Synod to rebuild and main-
tain Station KFUO at the new Seminary site and that we at once
notify the proper committee of Synod of this offer.”

In view of the above generous offer the committee recom-
mended : —

1. That Synod take over the station and gratefully accept the
proposal of the L. L. L. to supply all necessfry funds for its removal
to the new Seminary and its maintenance in the future;

2. That the control of the station be placed in the hands of the
Board of Control of Concordia Seminary.

These recommendations were adopted.

Meals and Lodgings at Conventions.
(German Report, p. 332.)

Report of Committee 22.

Concerning the unprinted overture. No. 37, on Meals and Lodg-
ings, your Committee recommends: — _

a. WHerzEas, It imposes a considerable burden upon the congrega-
tions of any one city to provide free board and lodging for all dele-
gates attending the triennial convention of Synod; and

b. Wuerseas, It would be more equitable and fully in accord with
the spirit of Christian love were a larger number of congregations to
share in bearing the expense involved; therefore be it

¢. Resolved, That Synod in future ask all circuits to pay not only
as heretofore the traveling expenses of their delegates, but also the
- cost of those joint meals which are to be provided by the entertaining
congregations ; ,

-d. That Synod likewise ask these congregations to specify in
advance the cost per meal in the announcements which they make
coneerning the convention in our periodicals ; and

e. That the President-of Synod, Dr. F. -Pfotenhauer, appoint
a committee whose duty it shall be to devise ways and means of more
equitably distributing the cost incurred for the entertainment of
synodical conventions, especially for meals and lodging, and to report
on the matter at the next convention.

These recommendations were adopted.
