The Convention Of the HolbroQk
Benevolent Association for the year
1852 is now history. It is no more
a dream and a vision to those of us
who were making ready for this

the Home Office Building, in Me
ridian.
When the roll was called on Tues
day Morning, July %, ITO local pres
idents answered the roll call. This
was one of the greatest showings
we have witnessed in the opening
of the Convention for local Presi-
dents. A large number of other

YOU to know that this Association
was founded before the Insurance
Department of the State of Missis-

Each member in this Association
is linked to the past by a long line
of FraternaI ancestors. We cannot
found this Organization and neither
can we build this Home Office

that it will be impossible to travel

we say here will soon be forgotten,
but what we do here will live on af-
ter these bodies have returned to
the mother earth.
For the protection of this Associa-
ton it is necessary to employ new
agencies, to revamp old agencies and
to dispense with some agencies.
This past fiscal year, I have tried
to give you, plus service, that is
a service beyond the call of duty
Experience has taught me that when
you give certain services you will
get certain services in return. l am
convinced that it pays to work
little harder than the job calls for

The 204 Local Presidents in this
Association have been loyal and
faithful and true. They have not
relinquished their friendship, love,
cooperation, nor respect. There is
not single criticism that l can
truthfully register about any of
them The work that your humble
servant has been able to do was
made possible because these fine
presidents showed a willingness to
work my program as handed down
to them from time to time, and to
them l am grateful
The General Officers have assis-
ted me in every way possible to
help put the program over during
this past fiscal year Since the Cen
eral Officers are all local presidents,
they have played a dual part. Peace
and a harmonious spirit exist a
mong your General Officers.
The Executive Board has put over

year equal TO none. This Board is
loved and respected by every mem
Der and president in the entire As

congratulated for the impartial man.
ner in which he has presided from
time to time, and the 10 members
are to be commended for the bust
ness-like manner in which they have
deported themselves during the past
fiscal year.
The office force has played an i'm
portant role in this great program
that has been ours during this fis-
cal year. 1t would have been an
impossibility for the work to have
been done as smoothly and correct
ly had it not been for them 1t is
no easy task keeping the records
straight on more than 5000 members
and keeping the records so systema-
TIED that in a few seconds a mem
ber's standing might be ascertained.
This is no child'e play, but rather a
man-sized job, We want them to
know that we all appreciate the
work that they have helped us to
do.
Because of the growth of our
membership we have had to en-
large our office space and yet, this
is natural The larger family
the larger the house must be. We
should feel proud of ourselves in
knowing that we have a house to
accommodate any size of a family we
want to get.
We have classified our local LODI
ges into six classes. We are happy
to report that in Glass "A" we have
10 local lodges Glass "A" contains
all presidents who head lodges with
a 100 membership and above. At
the head of the class is a personality
whom we all admire greatly. This
is none other than Mr.. VIM. Kins-
low, of Waynesboro, Mississippi
The members who constitute this
class are: VIM Kinslow, NJ Page, II.
S. Jones, G.. B. Arlington A. J.

Jas. Patrick, Mrs. Bette Faulkner,
Mrs Annie Houze BaXtrone, Mrs
Mamie Smith, Levi McCarty, Jet
Nelson, Aaron Smith, Aaron Trot-
ter j E. Grace, Brown McPee,
Frank Johnson and J, C. Jordan
These 10 presidents in Glass "a"
can boast of a membership of more
than 2,452 more than a fourth
of the entire membership in the
Association.
In the Convention 1858, we hope
to be able to report larger num-
Der of presidents in Glass ca.
