Walker, director of the Utah Experiment Station; Miss Madge J. Reese and Director W. A. Lloyd of the federal extension service, Washington, D. C; and otherss. "We have just closed a very successful year as far as the extension service work is concerned," Director Peterson commented. "It is time now to take inventory and to check up on the work that needs to be done during the coming year. As we seem to develop solutions for certain problems, new ones arise and from year to year the complexity of things seems to almost Increase rather than clarify. For this reason it is necessary to assemble, measure, analyze, plan and program for the future." pos-Jin- automobile. noticed the other day Ijlwas i"- -t mnst of the clients who for their free groceries 'Utti driving expensive cars. jPhoe who didn't have cars of ihe'iipper class, drove cars that jver4 by no means in line for the crap heap.
