Mr. Kelly said the committee felt Sunday would be the best time as it would enable most people to attend. He said the OCVI auditorium would be most suitable because of its location. Before permission was grant- ed by the board, however, Mrs. Lee urged that the board should be .serious about these matters. Another group had also wanted the auditorium. some time ago, a group which was also worthwhile, but permission had been refused in that case. She was referring to the re- quest for the auditorium some time ago by The Salvation Army for a Sunday conference.

"Mr, Kelly is trying to make a spot where Sunday meetings can be held," he said. Trustee A. E.
