and there are many men who are able
and perfectly willing to contribute
S. to SIS per year TO help build up
=, the state. Our committee made no
mistake in the selection Of Mrs S. +.
Cockrill, who has done good service
-, under trying conditions, and She
should be retained.
Our Years Achievement.
Is due to the hearty cooperation Of
all our people, the desire to do some
thing for the Master and bettermont
