The lasT week or so beTore publicaTion saw everyone running hiTher and yon Trying To puT The pieces TogeTher. Several eve- nings were devoTed To work on The book, and a Tew SaTurday mornings were spenT in a similar manner. Mr. Reisman, as usual, helped The ediTors immensely. RuTh Brandon picked up The loose Threads and bound The book TogeTher as ecliTor. Jean Cunningham Took phoTographs Till she ThoughT she couldn'T look anoTher TlashlighT bulb in The Tace.
