Judge Gustave Hartman, The issue, which was expected to arouse much discussion at the -ilst annual convention now in, session Iicre,/ due to the opposition of the older members to a change in the present ijlan, introducing in addition to post mortem assessments social membership anil a fraternal rates plaii, was postponed upon a motion in¬ troduced by Louis Etkin, chairman of the cndowmcrit fund commijttec,
The resolution, which,was adopted by a large majority vote, recommended that all plans concerning the endowment prob¬ lem and the classes of membership be referred to the incoming Executive, which is to appoint a special.committee to study the problems further and report its find¬ ings to the Executive. Board. :
The findings of the. committee are to be submitted to the individual. lodges three months before the next convention, This temporary solution of the present problem will provide an opportunity for experimenting with the .fraternal ,rates plan during the year.
The convention adopted a resolution urging the Executive of the Order to .take steps for the purpose of bringing about fuller cooperation betweeii the existing Jewish fraternal' organizations, through periodical joint conferences. The burden of the initiative in calling such conferences ¦\ras placed upon the Ex¬ ecutive Board of the I. O. B. A.

The convention also welcomed, the new action undertaken by the; Hebrew Immi¬ grant Aid Society of America in con¬ junction with the Jewish Colonization Association for the benefit of Jewish tnigi-ants. The convention recommended to the Executive tlmt in tnaking appropri¬ ations for charitable and benevolent pur¬ poses a suitable' appropriation be made for this work.
For The Congress The Order went on record as further adhering' to the idea of the American Jewish Congress and asking its members to support the Congress individually. The lodges were urged to contribute toward the treasury of the American Jewish Congress such an amount iis a five cent per capita would bring.
The convention also voted continued support ior the Ort, the Hadassah, and the United Palestine Appeal. A tax of 1 cent per capita, was voted for the Hadassah and 2 cents per capita for tlie Ort was decided, upon.

pf Jewish Delegations to meet in Zurich tliis. summer. Judge Gustave Hartman ond Max L, Hollander were chosph as delegates to the conference for the Order.
The Jewish Center has penetrated an¬ other section of .the. American Jewish community. This became evident when the convention adopted recommendations for the creation of I. O. B. A. Centers. I. O. B. A. Centers
The resolution on the I. O. B. A. Centers stated that it "approves in prin¬ ciple the' establishment of I. O. B. A. Centers in cities aaid towns where there is sufficient Jewish population to. main- laiii^ and support. them. The Center at ill times must be a. local matter. Each community should be encouraged to build and each community, if it decides to dp SQ, will build in accordance with the necessities of their case and their ability to finance such proposition. The Grand Lodge, as such, has no funds that it can advance for this purpose and it has no right Under the laws of our Order or the Insurance laws of the various states in which we operate to takie any of our funds belonging to the Reserve, or. En¬ dowment Reserve Fund.and lend it upon mortgage to an I* O. B. A. Center,
"We. recommend that a Committee, be appointed by the Grand Master which shall encourage the. building of Centers by our . local communities and furnish expert advice to those communities seek¬ ing it."   .    .    ¦ . -
