For 1956 Held
Tuesday, December 11, 1956, the
last Quarterly Board for the year
1956 was held in the beautiful home
office building of the Holbrook Be
nevolent Association.
The weather was nice and 1he
presidents, members and friends
took advantage of this beautiful day
and came to the board. We were
surprised to see such a largely at
tended meeting at this time of the
year.
EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING
The Executive Board held its
quarterly meting at 8:30 with Chair
man A. J Barnett in the chair. The
attendance was 100 percent.
The board elected Mr. Dewey
Johnson of Hattiesburg, Mississjcm.
to fill the vacancy created by Mr.
Joe Knox, who was accidently killed
>last month, on the Executive Board.
The Executive Board made a
Xmas contribution to the Scholar
, ship Fund in the amount of $100.00
i ft also made contributions to all of
the'officials of the Executive Board I
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
We are happy to state that the
scholarship campaign is moving a
long nicely. The majority of the
presidents are availing themselves
•with the opportunity of sending in
their pro rata share now.
As we go to press the scholarship
fund has more than $720.00 on de
posit in the First National Bank on
a Savings Account.
Those presidents who have not
sent their pro rata share are re
quested to do so at the earliest pos
sible date. Some of the presidents
think that it is all right to wait un
«s',iN ie..N «.N**.;n *t.Ntft-ii fii.a * *•.>5 (
til July to pay the fee, but it is net.
)If you have got to do a thing, why
not go ahead and do it now and be
I through with it. We are publishing
| the names of the presidents who
I have responded elsewhere in this
issue.
DEATH BENEFITS
We paid 39 claimants in this board
and to their beneficiaries we paid
$200.00 each, or a grand total of
$7,800.00.

As we go to press we are happy
to report that our membership stands
