ed to accept the bid of John E.

the addition to the present school
building. This firm submitted the
lowest bid for the complete pro-
gram at the meeting Of the COM
mission which was held Septem-

It was the opinion Of all those
attending the meeting Of the 9th

cafeteria kitchen, vestibule, and
separate entrance could be con-
sstructed and adequately equip
ped within the limitations of build
ing funds available.
The architects revised plans
permit the adding of the second
floor with a minimum of structur-
al change when additional funds
are promised for that purpose.
We believe that the contractor
can begin actual construction dur
ing the third week Of October.

that although present economic
conditions make large foreign or
ders impossible these conditions
are improving"
It is imperative. he emphasized,
to continue a program to acquaint
foreign consumers with the merits
Of Maryland tobacco. ..... ...
This can best be done by per-
sonal contact he explained, "be-
cause Europeans appreciate the
interest shown in them and their
finished products. Also, it gives
them an opportunity to express
tcriticisms." ....-

acquaint Maryland tobacco grow
