11 OSEA HEADQUARTERS EXPANDS MOVES TO NEW ADDRESS The increase in our membership, in itiation of the group life insurance plan and our expanding records have made it necessary for the headquarters office to spread its wings for more light and air. For several months, Forrest Stewart and his worthy assistant Jean Brima- cornbe have been "combing” the city for new office space. House hunters will appreciate the job they had and will sympathize with the many dis appointments received in the process. At long last, however, they have ob tained a very nice office with about four times the space, five times the light, and six times the conveniences "enjoyed” in their former cubbyhole; The new adtjress is 311 OREGON BUILDING, located on the southwest corner of High and State streets* in thé heart of downtown Salem. The phone movect right along and the number still is 7998. When Forrest is in (and we all knows he works for us in and out, night and day), he will be found in his own private office- now, main taining the appearance and prestige which the Association has a right to expect of its representatives. IMPROVED HEALTH AND INSUR ANCE PLANS AVAILABLE T O CALIFORNIA STATE EMPLOYEES Leo Selinger, California State Em ployee Association insurance committee member, reports that "effective Jùne 25>ïl947, to and including June 24, 1948, the insurance companies which underwrite the Association’s group in surance plan will pay upon death of a member insured under the CSEA group term or ordinary life contract 10 per cent of the amount of insurance pay able in addition to the amount other wise payable on account of such death during said period.” The low ratio of mortality and the continued increase in /thC ^tim ber of members insured has permitted the in surance committee to recommend ad ditional benefits for all insured mem bers . without increasing the cost of the life insurance protection. Stanley B. Fowler, chairman of the CSEA Insurance Committee, also an nounces. the initiation of the improved plan of the Association’s group health ifisurance. In cooperation with the underwriting companies the CSEA In surance Committee developed a plan which increases^ hospital room, allow ances and services for both the em ployee and his dependents and extends surgical benefits. Originally it was thought that these increases would be prohibitive, but the factors of popu larity, participation, and favorable claim experience made it possible to offer the improved plan for only fifty cents more. From California State Employee, August-September, 1947. WE APOLOGIZE Your magazine staff promised a final summary of the arguments for and against the proposed sales tax, to appear in this issue prior to October 7. This promise has not been fulfilled. Apologies are due the members and are herewith offered. Alibis ordinarily would be made, but are not. An ex planation, . however, : is in order and will be given. The material required for this maga zine'originates from many sources (are you one?)\ and it requires extensive editing, typing and working over. Ad vertisers must be given time between issues' to offer change of proof or to place new advertising copy in our hands. The commercial printers cannot put aside other jobs to give us speedy Results in the printing of the magazine. TKese are the mechanical details which caused our plans to go awry. To keep faith, in a measure, we can say that the best argument for or against - the sales tax will have been presented by the time this issue is in print. It is the result of the election. Whatever the outcome, it will be the expression of the voters and that voice judges'the essence of any controversial matter.
