At this meeting the officers who had been elected for 1944 were reelected for 1945, they having been in office a very short time.

OREGON CHAPTER No. 22 Organization of Oregon chapter was completed in November with signed membership cards from 73 employees of the State Unemployment Compen sation Commission. This represents nearly 90 per cent of the Salem central office employees. Although the commission already has a well-regulated merit system, em ployees are aware of the possibility of wider careers in public service under a state civil service system that would cover all departments. The new chap ter also is interested in the State Em ployees’ Association for an old age re tirement plan that would provide rea sonable pensions for those past .6 5 years. Possibility of the extension of the Old Age and Survivors’ Insurance to state employees to supplement retirement al lowances also is being investigated by the new chapter.
