Convention. Mr. A rthur W. Schaupp,
member of the State Highway Commis­

has invited Leo Smith, Chairman of the
Interim Committee, to address their

Mr. Chidsey reported that employees
located in Salem and Portland have
available State Employee Credit Union

which they are incorporated. It was
moved that Mr. E. H . Clymer be ap­
pointed a committee of one to get data
on legal requirements to be met in es­
tablishing such employee loan facilities
and make a report at the next meet­
ing of the Board of Directors. Motion
seconded and carried.
Due to the election of Tom Edwards
as Vice President, the position of Dis­

vacant. Mr. C. B. Clifton was elected
alternate District Director in the re­
cent election in D istrict 4. The Board
of Directors at this time approved the
succession of Mr. Clifton to the posi­
tion of District Director of District 4.
Resolution 5, adopted by the Gen­
eral Council at its recent meeting, rela­
tive to a continued membership drive,
was read. The President appointed, and
the Board of Directors approved, the
appointment of the following mem­
bership committee: Floyd Query, Chair­
man; Guy M ott; Erwin Clark; W. M.
Gibson, and Leo W. Brunell.
A motion was made, seconded and
passed, providing that the work regu­
larly assigned to an Education Commit­
tee be placed under the supervision of
the Special Director of Public Relations
and, that the Special Director of Pub­
lic Relations be requested to appoint
and supervise a subcommittee on Edu­
cation.
Jim Smith, Special Director of Law,
Legislation and Civil Service, appoint­
ed the following committee members
whose appointment was approved by
the Board of Directors: B. A. Martin,
Eugene; C. H. Armstrong, Pendleton;
Emery Johnston, Bend; and H arry
Broadwell, Portland.
The Board approved President Ford’s
suggestion that other committee ap­
pointments be made at a later date.
Mr. Chidsey moved that the Board
of Directors appoint a committee of
three directors to consist of W . W.
Stiffler, E. H . Clymer, and I.

France, to carry out the provisions of
Resolution No. 2, adopted by the re­
cent General Council, relative to the
employment of a part-time counsel, and
that this committee also be empowered
to carry out the provisions of Resolu­
tion No. 16, adopted by the recent
General Council, relative to a study of
hours and wages. Mr. Boldt seconded
the motion and it carried.
There being no further business the
