walls OF several of the buildings at lalo
college in New Haven were crumbling
and that unless immediate attention
WAS given that within three years the
buildings would DO unsafe. This was
the opinion expressed by an expert who
was taken there from New York, He

suggested that in view of the thousands
IF visitors who are coming to Zion this
year that every citizen should see that
his home as also his place Of business
should be as neat and clean as possible,
To make this showing, Impervia can be
used to an advantage not only In looks,
but it will be as lasting as the ages.
