tives of that district.
CO-OP DRIVE
POSTPONED
   A postponement of the
community enterprises' char-
ter membership drive was
announced by E.H. Runcorn,
associate community enter-
prises superintendent, yesterday.
   This was done to give
the incorporation commit-
tee an opportunity to sign
the articles of incorpora-
tion of a consumer cooper-
ative.
   Also, this extra time
will he used to better ed-
ucate the employees, block
managers and representa-
tives, and the residents of
the nature and the advan-
tages of a consumer cooper-
ative,  Runcorn further ex-
plained.
Teachers   from
Lamar Visit
   Sixty-five Lamar teach-
ers and their husbands and

3,779    POUNDS   Of
FAT    SALVAGED
   Through cooperation
of the kitchen crews and
butcher staff, 3,779
pounds of fat were sal-
vaged during the past
month, revealed William
Wells,   project  steward.
   The center will con-
tinue to send its month-
ly contribution of fat
to Wichita, Kan.
Allowances
May Be Split
   Residents who have re-
ceived but part of their
clothing allowance were
today asked by John 0.
Moore, head of the social
welfare division, to wait
until all checks are mailed
out before making in-
quiries at the reception
center.
   Because there are two
bases, residence in the
center and work., clothing
allowances may come in two
checks, Moore explained.
   Checks are for July,
August, and September.
NEW   RULES ON PASSES
MADE BY POLICEMEN
   Passes will be issued
between 8:30 and 9:30 
a.m. and 1 to 2 p.m. on week
days, and from 8:30 to 9:30
a.m. on Saturdays in the
south administration build-
ing, the police department
announced yesterday.
   Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday passes must be ob-
tained on Monday; Friday
and Saturday passes on Wed-
nesday; and Monday passes
on Saturday, the depart-
ment stated.
   Hereafter, passes will
be issued for emergencies
only.    No more shopping
passes will be given unless
extremely urgent.
    The department declared
that the abuse of the pass
privileges by many of the
residents necessitated these
changes.   Too many people
returning three or four
hours late when their passes
were marked, "to return at
sundown;"  forging names;
and using the passes of
friends without proper
authorization from the de-
partment were the complaints.
   A continuance of this
sort of thing will force
the refusal of any and all
requests for passes, the
department declared.

school at Boulder are sche-
