must construct set of bylaws which are simple short
Code Accordingly, I would recommend here u that the
Supreme Board the policy making body of the Croaan
laws in keeping with the Uniform Fraterna Code q to
urge the elimination from the bylaws of all useless
and wasteul sections - to recommend in the bylaws the
increase to $4,000 the amount of insurance available to eli
gbe members; and ~ to urge the adoption of onefund
counting as recommended by the Actuary.
Bro Mandich - wish to inform this Board that the
Executive Board has been meeting regularly as Committee
Bylaws to go through the bylaws and prepare
new set for the Forthcoming Convention We are
than willing to study and weigh all recommendations But
we must tread with caution in preparing the new bylaws
Drastic changes will only invite membership criticism and
embroil us in unnecessary arguments
Bro Krasch - am certain that the recommendations
of both General Counsel and Actuary will be studied
by the Executive Board. However, members not
yet ready for any socaed "streamlned laws pro-
posed by those who want to make drastic changes before
the next Convention.
Bro Majetic revealed that many members in Detroit
think the present bylaws too short it is and
drastic changes at this time would only bring greater
protests Bro Hnch expressed similar feeling and urged
that the Executive Board proceed with in arriving at
the text of the next bylaws

of the present bylaws and the recommendation of the E

The Supreme President to lengths divlge the
reasons for this pointing out that the Home
Office preparation of the annual statement the almost

cedures longer require of the Board of Trustees to
through tedious methods of checking the Society.
Bro Mandich - Under the proposed change the Board
OF Trustees would meet year. in the month of March,
