Now you must understqnd thct the cruthorities in Wcshington who issue these new regulc- tions crnd restrictions do NOT send them to the individucls-or-even the firms-whom they aitl"tfv qffect.

Therefore it is up_ to every lgmberrngn_ to keep constcnlly cnd prccticclly in touch with every new order-ol cr legcl chcrcrcte; crffecting his business He musisecure-, deline, ticnslcrte into prccticcrl lerms, crnd- pyt into prcctice-in the dcily opercrtion oI his business crll the new rules, t.g"f"Ui*, lcrws, r-estrictions, priorities, freezes, ceilingi, crnd crll the e-endrrents cmd crdditions crnd d-efinitions to cll these rules, requlations, lcrws, restrictions, priorities, freezes, ceilings, etc. Rtt tttr"" thil;; il MU-ST- do.
