A rainy day problem also got attention. Brought up by members from the floor, the urgent need for a shop building with class room, of a new gymnasium and addi tional classrooms was noted and the members avidly discussed the various ways in which this urgent need could be brought to the at tention of county authorities in order to get the necessary relief.
