sounds like someone eating celery," and Baba joined in with our smiles.

After a few private interviews, a short business meeting in the Interview cabin was called regarding the Hospitality Fund. Baba also reminded us that the NBC-TV film belonged entirely to the Dave Garroway show for which it was scheduled and not to any of us. It was also to be shown only on a religious program. He then divided the balance left in the Fund three ways, between the Center-On-The-Lakes, the Sufism Reoriented Group and the Monday Night Group, for carrying on His work.

Adi shoveled earth over it and Don Stevens read a message. Mrs. Patterson, who had given the 500 acre Center to Baba for His spiritual work, stood near by. Little Julie Katz and some of the other children placed a fresh garland round Baba's neck. A lovely photo was later taken as Baba rested under a tree.

For several days, Baba had teased us about going swimming, perhaps, as Kitty had warned us, testing the pull of vacation pleasures against our love for Him. After a small meeting, Baba dismissed everyone and gave Bili some typing to do. She and others had previously decided to go swimming but Bili went to the little secluded office cabin and typed for more
