Th ere are two wry good reasons why

may w i t h some degree' of accuracy
be' able lo estimate t h e number of people'
who will all end and accordingly obtain a
sulhcien l number of coaches for t h e ex-e'ursi
on train. Second reason is t h a t it
will be' a physical impossibility lo seJI
lie ke l s lo any but a limite - cI number al
the' station on Ihe morning of t h e picnic.
Think thi s carefully over and buy youi
tick et early. This is important and de' -
se rve's more' i h a n passing consideration.
