Thinking back over the years,
the 80-year-old soft-spoken lady
recalled the "hot and heavy" vest
ments worn by priests during
Mass years ago. She says the old
er vestments were usually com
posed of three thicknesses: silk,
a canvas-like stiffening material
and the lining. To-day" she says,
"the emphasis is on the Gothic
styled, unlined vestments that are
much cooler and lighter"
Mrs. Daubert now does most of
her sewing in the room set aside
for the Tabernacle Society at S
Joseph Academy Convent. But
this was not always so. Not so
long ago, when her fifteen grand
children were younger, she de-
voted many happy hours to the
care of their clothes.
The Sisters of Notre Dame have
directed the work of the Society
since its establishment in 1896
They'll have the help of Mrs.
Daubert for years to come ap-
parently. When asked how she
enjoyed the work of the Society,
she replied, II just love it."

TOO BIG A HURRY

We are kindly asking the l &C al
presidents to please take time off
and read the application blanks be-
fore filling them out. We have one
form that is used for new members
only, one kind FOR duplicate policies,
one kind for renewals for the cur
rent Quarter and another kind for
back renewals. By Back" we mean
members who have been out of the
Association ninety days and more.
It is really expensive to have to
write two and three times to local
president about a matter that could
have be adjusted in the fir IT
place, had the president taken time
to read the blank before filling it
out. I think the proper thing to do
is to have a few of each kind of ap-
plication blanks on hand.
1t is nothing new to fill out re-
newal blanks for members who fail
to pay on or before the date of the
Board, but we have some presidents
who invariably send in the names OF
the applicants and the money and
when we send the blanks back to
them to fill out, they will not return
them. I am sure if some of the local
presidents knew the tremendous a
mount of unnecessary work that
some of them cause us in the office
that they would stop right now and
make New Years Resolution to do
better in 1854.
Some of you complain about the
trouble you have with your mem
bers, but you have not seen anything
yet. If you were to work one day
in the office. you would become a
harmed just as t lie General Presi-
dent, Mr.. C. D. Cotton, who assisted

understanding and yet believe thai
you are in so big hurry to do what
YOU have in mind to do that you
"ball' things up. Please take your
time and especially SO when filling
out your report blanks. If you were
to have your Secretary or someone
who writes legible hand, to put ell
of your members names on your re
port blank when you first receive il

ero,ls mistakes til t are MADE IL
