the form of camp chairs for women and
children The bailihs have made ar
rangements with the Y. NJ c. A. direc-
tors whereby the 400 camp chairs which
are used by the association for the Sum
daN afternoon union meetings can be
used by the audience at the concert The
understanding is that only women and
children shall have the use of the seats
ana two special policemen will be sta
toned there to see that the privilege is
not abused. The balliffs will become re-
sponsible for the return of the camp
stools in good condition. This welcome

continued through the season. The camp
stools are stored through the week be-
meath the band stand. Canton Palestine
