He said that the firBt. .
move after an incendiary

controlling incendiary
bombs—by sand and by a
fine spray of water, which
makes the bomb burn faster.

He also- emphatically
stated not to dump a bucket

the bom'b will then explode

About a week ego, the cooks held a meeting in order
to obtain better ratings and improved work conditions.
The talk of mass resignation arose, a clear-headed mem
ber pointed out to them the consequence of such a move.
The result was that despite their feelings, they all reported back to work the next morning.
We are glad that the last few days have brought
many changes helpful to the mess crews, such as free
working shirts and aprons and better ratings. Their
cooperation, despite their personal beliefs, is one
worthy of respect from all of our Center residents.
