CO-OF NOTES
Dr. Albrecht was in my office
today and v/e had a short talk
which was as he stated probably
the last one officially for awhile,
as ho was' on his way to the Army.
Aftoh you work with some one
for a long time, who has accepted
his responsibility and do to a
good job, there is a feeling that
is hard to explain on their leav
ing.
The Co-op Organisation is
going to miss Dr. Albrecht, and
we rogret that it is necessary for
him to go. After his service with
the Army i3 over, wc hope to a
gain have him with us in the work
with which he is so familiar.
In the meantime, Dr. flora
will take over Dr. Albrecht's
duties at the Hospital, and I, and
I know Dr. Albrecht want you to
give him your support. If Is a
big job to fill but Dr. Flora, can
do it if wo give him our coopera
tion.
Please note that the Trading
Post, Warehouse and Garage will
be closed Sunday and Monday to
take Inventory.
