People’s Drug store refused to loin the other stores in dese?re- '{ating its counters, and the CPA stained a sit-in at the store on the following day. The counters were immediately clo.sed. When they were reopened a guard, was posted at the double “lass doors entrance. One door vas locked and a sign pasted on it ins'rurting customers to use the other doer.
