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.
