Besides. they assert. the new rule will

heat, which under the same government
Regulations are forbidden to keep their

audience the audience itself will take
care of the heating problem for the rest
of the day.
But they cannot ask an audience to
come into an tnheated room at pm,

heating must be put into operation.
AS a result they have made q counter
