ing.

Unfortunately a numbe of can-

cellations took place due to ill- nesses and transportation diffi- culties but those present entered into the proceedings with great enthusiasm. Mrs. Lawson complimented the various entries and made many constructive criticisms which will surely benefit them as they work and practice their techniques.

The service said the garrison of the seven islands in the group- believed to number limo or more --had been ordered to be spe- cially vigilant.
