Other events mentioned include the annual Canadian Slovak Benefit Society Convention; the October 1954 Branch 8 of the C.S.B.S.'s legal action against Branch 43 due to claims that members of their group who left to join Branch 43 stole property from them (this was eventually settled between the branches out of court); guest speakers including the Head Treasurer, Brother Mastan from the Timmins C.S.B.S. on November 15th, 1953 (regarding Branch 43's unity and cooperation with each other) and the annual vote for the new executive committee, which included a Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Entertainment Committee.
