So far, he has received from Meetings $1,881.50, Meetings were reminded that the suggested manner of payment has been: One half before the end ·of the cal~ endar .year follow.ing Year.ly Meeting; one -~-8:H ~efore first ,of ; ,th~ next _July.

2. FINA~GE: . The Interim Comrtiittee ' adopted . Hiis minute: '': ... . , . : . . . . -. ., , ..• ·. • .. :

The Interim Committee agrees ~hat it is not y~t -re~dy , to -~eco~mend an . . '·' __ : .. · : . . . . increa$ .e in .. the per capita contribution from J\1onthly J\ieetings, but refers ,· the matter . ,to the . Finai:ice Comm! ttee for · their ' s 't(idy and · recommendation; · We

; ; ij.~k t~em t~ look ·ove _:z:-·,our ne~ _cts ·and expenses: and to bring ' i'n ' a budget at the beginning of Yeari 'y Meeting which . will include a coiltin 'g'ency fund for

Comm~_ttee _, .: -~p~aking of the ·Meeting -' House Fund . propose~ . at . the last Yearly ~reeting; .s·aid that ' since then two pofots of view have ·· arisen: (a) We. sh.Quid set up ·a fund ·with a co~ittee to administer it, (We now have - such a committee.) . }Ve ~houid 0 bui id ' 'the sum up tci $3, oot> before · lending afiy

of _ it, and then should lend not more than one half ·of the funds avaUa'b°le. (b) T_his is not ·~ ,un~ti~n of Y~arl~ ~ie~'ti~g. The committee should exist to aid any Meeting needi~g funds in raisi~g ·th~m. ·

' -There .was some discussion o~ the wisdom of appointing three Yearly Meeting repre-sentatives to conferences as we have done lately and then budgeting travel expense for one :. It was felt that, while we should not appoint if we do not intend to assist, part payment of e,cpense is a good principle.

3. REPRESENTATION AT BAD PYRMONT (Germany): Related to the above was discussion of problems involved in sending our three representatives to the meeting of the Friends .World Committee, September.23-29, 1958. This minute was approved:

• . • - J!' • . •

Friends approve of appropriatiqg $200 &dditional, to be taken out of current reserve if, in &,d,di -tion to Clifford Maser who we un_derstartq is bei _ng _ sent to Europe by the ·-Stl\te , Department, .. our two ot4er. representati yes can ·go. ·

4, INCREASE IN LENGTH OF YEARLY MEETING: Repre"sentati ve's ' wer-e '·hot . ·agreed on a need for lengthening the time of Yearly Meeting by an additional day.

Representatives approved the suggestions ' of the Edticati '9tt: •~P~m_g:tee ;· presented . . . . . . . . ' . ' ..... by Gretchen Rudnick, chairman, that the 1irst session of Yearly Meeting be held at 4 o•c~ock in the after~oon on Wednesday, August 6 (opening day), · and that it . b~ a · .. meeting of all _ - adui t~ 'and children - with ·worship · ani:i · S4.nging. ;:.1They: approved also, suggestions that standing comrni ttees, the Ministry &. Oversight Committee, ·and per-haps tlJe meeting of iionthly Meeting clerks ( so successfully · tried ' las~ :. summer) might meet on Wednesday, August 6, before ' tlie ' first session of Yearly ·Meeting, ·

To keep from wasti.ng time in our few days together, · representatives had these suggestions: . ( 1) \l}e should have much more : pre-Yearly Meet-ing acti~ity . on the part of committees (e.g. correspondence). · (2) There is a great need ·for . members of the Interim Committee to go back and make the Yearly Meeting ancl Interim -Committee come alive for the members of their l\ionthly Meetings - "words · should - become - persons 0 •

(3) tleetings should emphasize to their members the advisability and wisdom of an orderly _ p.resenta,tion o:f- ind-i -v-iduaf eonoern - -thr 'ough -the Mon-thi-y- -Meeti :ng-;1 in : order -,.:-;: to give weight t~ the e~pression ~possibly re .presentfng the individual and · the : ; : · -_ · !.leeting), and to save valuable time · often taken by ·unreflective ·speaking. . _(4) ,. Half .-Yearly and ~uarterly Meetings might be able to consider some of the business that o:th~rwise would need to be cared for by Yearly Meeting. '· (5) .on:i.:, . in :th'e :-case ; Qf . _; spe _cial concerns · should th _ere be reports · from the wor$ 'M'p- .fe1lowship groups ; ·.~o tti~ : gener _al sessions. , .-.,; • ; . ,: ,

DROPPING THE WORDS "PACIFIC COAST ASS0CIATION°: This minute was approved: : • • ; ,• • - j • : ,• • • : ; ' • •••., • / ' ; . , • ' , ) I • I • c •

We recommend to Yearly Meeting that the name 0 Pacif1c Coast · As·sociatiorl' 1 · be ·: dr?pped ' ~nd '•that · .. we seE( ' to it · that : tfiose ;:,who are not mem.beJ'S ~f P~cifio -r Yearly ' Meeting. be ·· always encouraged : to . meet with us.

:': ·:; .,· ·. Speald.ng ., of th .is ,1 ; map¥ , ~ai .d that d~opping the words shouid · not -make non-members feel -1 unwe,l.come ip . our Meetings, but would help to clarify the :· sense · of responsibil-ity for the busines~ m'e~t!~gs and concerns ~f Monthly Meetings : and Yearly Meeting.

6. NOMINATING COMMITTEE: These Friends were named to the Nominating Committee: Madeleine Stephenson (Berkeley), Cleo Cox ~Phoenix), and Richard Broughton (Vic~ . '-' toria, .a,.c.). Harold Carson (University Meeting) was named as the new: chairman ·. = .... In addi~ion to Harold Carson, these two Friends continue oil . the cotnmfttee· until :.!the spring of 1959: John orlan (Orange Grove) arid- euianTno rn ou -rg tWITlamette'Valley)

The nomination of Robert Dann to the Discipline Committee, 'niade : by the Nomin-ating Committee after the 1957 Yearly Meet'ing to replace ·Floyd 1Schino'e··who had ' re- . . signed to take the chairmanship of the Peace and Service · Cornrnftteei was approved ·., by the Interim Committee.

The resignation of Eleanor _Br~wnell from the Discipline Committee was =reported with regret, along with the wish · of the chairman that no replacement ' be named; , •sipce

. . the committee is large enough as · it is.

In a discussion of nominations, the point was made that while ·; · o·n •the,. whole-, ' Friends receiving Yearly Meeting appointments should be , those active in their r1Ionthly Meetings, we should be careful not to exclude from appoi:ntme'nt ··t11ose with · special gifts and loVe for Yearly l\Ieeting and its work. 1 • ..

7. REPORTS BY OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES FOR SALT LAKE CITY & WHITTIER ·AREA .MEETINGS: Madge Seaver, chairman of the Yearly l\leeting Ministry & Oversight Committee: "Year-ly l\!eeting may be satisfied with its decision -to give Monthly .Meeting status t'3 Salt Lake City Meeting ... Robert Simkin of Los Angeles Meeting: "The report

,; '

Discussion brought out twci reason 's why·· :the ,,~~cond ; ~~rt ~f th~ .l OversJ.g,ht Coinmi ttee' s . recoinJJlendation could not be accepted: ·· (1) Until , th~ .Y~arly J,Ieeting •itself changes ,i our present procedure, the Interim Cammi ttee does not hav~ the · .. final power : to' :· -----recognize a new Monthiy Meeting ~s ' such, pr !or to Ye~r ly .

Instea(of 100 Fri .enps, 145 had . come, and 21 Yearly Meetings had been '-represented; some of the session~ had been profoundly moving; and unaniini ty on the Message of the .Conference ·h~d ~ot been . difficult to achieve. Copies df the Message are available for al~ who want them. The conference talks are on tapes which may be borrowed from the Five Years Meeting office, 101 Quaker Hill Drive, Richmond, Indiana. Ben Seaver told the Interim Committee that Friends should be expressing themselves on two matters right now: (l) Se.nator Humphrey's Subcommittee on Disarmament which, instead · of be :ing threatened with termination~ - should 'be made a permanent committee for the duration _of the emergenc~; and (2) support of Repre-sentative Chet Holifield's resolution which is an attempt to prevent ·the United States from placing nuclear weapons in other countries.

10. SHANGHAI MEETING AND FRIENDS IN CHINA: The Interim Committee listened to and approved •the letter which the Clerk bad written in December on behalf of Pacific Yearly Meeting to be taken to Shanghai Meeting by the kindness of A. L. Wirin, at.:. torney for John and Sylvia Powell. The Clerk read a letter, just received from Edwin Sanders, saying that the American Friends Service Committee is planning to send Robert and Etta Vogel to Japan and India this coming ,summer, and there is hope that it may become possible for them to visit Friends in China also. He asked not only for a travel minute for Robert and Etta Vogel from Yearly Meeting, but also for a minute authorizing the Clerk to act in any way that seems appropriate to further the carrying out of the concern to visit in China.

The Interim Committee authorized a travel minute on behalf of Pacific Yearly Meeting for the Vogels and adopted the following minute:.

... ' ' ' . . Yearly ~teeting proposing that our corporation members be received by them as members of the Executive Committee or BocJ._rd, in the area where they live. Seattle and San -Francisco had agre~d to the ide~ '; Pasa~na had written that one appointee could be received ex officio on the Executi _ve Board; Portland had seen difficulties in the idea, largely because it ' wanted to ·do nothing which might further alienate Oregon Y.earl_y Meeting.

To meet the$e ~pecial considerations the Interim Conunittee suggested that the Yearly Meeting Nominating Committee choose our AFSC corporation members from among Friends already on the Executive Committees of the AFSC regional offices.

The Clerk read a lett~r from the staff of the Earlham College annual, Sargasso, proposing that the Yearly 'Meeting, along with others, should buy advertising space as a means of expressing sponsorship and developing a vital relationship with Earlham.

The Interim Committee felt that there are other ways to make our relationship to Earlhaml!lore significant, including lnviting Earlham students to visit Yearly ·Meeting ...
