The barn is now rooted and almost
ready for our new crop of oats.
The bake oven has been overhaul

shows itself in the bread.
We need more carpenters. Men
who know themselves to be good So

please write to the bureau of CORE

Our work at present is mostly
non-productiv building homes, shops,
sheds, furniture and an infnitude of
small things, but we hope to get down
to remunerative work another year.
