The dining rooms have to be

Judging from the sire e t

should expect our own Wash

but empty, and come to think
of it, during the past several

whom we have missed seeing.

tions for this area.
It was also announced that OF
these projects, seven are still in
operation and nine others have
either been completed or suspended.
Those suspended may be resumed

become available and conditions
justify such resumption.
Mr.. Matson also announced that
there are at present lit persons
on the WPA payroll in this county
which compares with the peak
load in January when 332 persons
were at work. All these figures
are based on records as of June 26.
