Many residents receive allowances
of money from their local unions and
others have savings and investments
on which to draw for extraordinary
supplies, such as tobacco, or for thea-

small cash allowance each week by
the International Typographical Un-
ion. Those who desire extra income
or who feel ambitious to occupy their
time at some useful endeavor may
find employment as guides about the
grounds, at light tasks in the laundry
or visiting the post office to get mail.
Residents are nft permitted to accept
employment outside the Home, nor
are they employed at tasks that re-

time each week. Rest periods are
enforced.
