I Several observers have left for
the summer sessions at various
schools or college, and entrance into
teh armed forces and change in
working hours in production plants
have also caused loss of observers
at the post.
In order to operate the post eff
ficiently it is necessary to have not
only regular observers but also a
number of reliable substitutes to
fill hours during which regular
observer may be unable to serve.
Persons wishing to help out at
the observation post are asked to
call Mrs. Stephen Canty, telephone
1O06, for further information.
