not be open to the general public next

supplies committee will meet Monday
morning at the headquarters rooms as
usual.

requests that no one call to take out
or bring back finished work next

grown to such dimensions that they
cannot handle it unless free from in
terruptions.

plenty of yarn on hand at the head
