allowing children in the upper gram

but are unable because of the lack
of funds, by assistance from this
source. High school students are
also eligible for help and graduates

evidence of earnestness in their de-
sire will be encouraged by this
fund. Just how the mea are to

ganiZation will begin to function in
the first part of February.
