BULLETIN TO FOURS DIRECTORS:
Dear Friends:-
I am working on the Fours for
a few days and I am hoping to get things going
a little better in the weak spots; and this is
particularly to say that I am arranging to send
a moving picture machine with the films, and also
an operator, to take the place of the slides which
Mr. Maurer is using. We think we have this
worked out now so that everything will go better,
and the plan is to have this operator teach each
of the tent men the working of the machine and
give them such lessons and instructions that they
will be able to operate the machine after being so
instructed. At any rate, we will have this
operator stay on the job until this can be done
successfully, and I am hoping that all will co
operate to have it work this way instead of the
necessity of an operator accompanying Mr. Maurer
for the entire season.

If you have received word that
Colonel John Leader is to be there, please correct
this for the second day will not need him when you
get the Stefansson films going in good shape.

While I expect to give the Fours
considerable attention from the office, I hope soon
to announce a new circuit manager, who will take
charge of the field work and help put these Fours
over in good shape.
