Prospects Seem Poor
For Meeting Space

Due to the large increase in
enrolment at the Elementary
School this year, it is doubtful if
the various organizations in town
will be able to use rooms in the
school building for their meetings
this year. Mrs. Helen Foley, who
is in charge of scheduling rooms
for meetings, says that it has not
yet been determined whether any
rooms will be available for meet
ings other than the school classes.
1t is expected that the Auditorium
will still be available, however.
