Warts new week; and it is marking
q step forward in our progress each
day There are so many things going
on here that ! could write about that
! could fill two pages of tie paper,
and then it would not all be said.
For instance: Do you realize that
when we want our shoes mended, all
we have to do is to go to the Shoe shop
and Comrade Stuersel does the job
and the shoes are returned TO us with
no cash cost to the individually The

Thomas puts them into the washing
machine, and the engine does the
work. Then Mrs. Synoground, Mrs.
Sexton. Mrs. Kemp, or Mrs. Waters,
hangs them on the line to dry. Then
they run them through the patent IRON
er or iron them with the electric irons;
and they are returned to us clean,
pressed, and ready to wear-no per-
sonal cash cost And all personal SER
vice is done in this way. excepting our
meals, for which we pay ten cents per
meal; because some Of our people still
hang on to the old idea Of cooking and
eating at home, therefore we must ra-
lion out cash enough each week to
each person to pay for their food.
HYou ask who pays the cost Of shoe re-
pairing, laundry, etc.2 We all pay
that as a social function, and there is
no quarrels about one getting more
service than Others. Expect each per
son to take only what he needs-and
all are welcome to that. We readily
understand that if we take more than
we need, it is a general waste to us all.
