                                   THE LAST WORD

Certainly, the foregoing shows that valuable work can be done by the fellow with the
modest instrument; most of the observations were made with 4- and 6-inch telescopes.
We trust that each Centre now has an observing group and will appoint someone to sub-
mit observations on a regular basis. (They will be returned promptly after being copied.)
As only three Centres have NOT yet been heard from, it appears that our program will
bear results soon, (Is your Centre one of the silent ones?)

NOTE: To Centres in Ontario and Quebec - I am prepared to visit each of you for a week-
end and give a talk on observing or give tips on how and why we should observe. Just
write or call!
