weeks devoted an entire Cathedral Street window to it. Before the end
of the year, a very flattering illustrated review appeared in Historic
Preservation (Volume 12, No. 2), the official journal of the National

unhappy that our volunteer worker, Mrs. Clifton Moss, who came to
the Hall of Records in 1937 and retired in 1949, has now concluded
that she must give up the daily work schedule she has followed here
since her retirement. We shall all miss her excellent workmanship and
her good spirit.

It is now twenty years since we have been laminating by the
