On Thursday, the remaining work was.completed and a large island wide social event took place, with movies and a chicken barbeque. This was sponsored by BNL, DOE and the Liktanur crew who did a great job of cooking and serving the food. A generator was brought on shore to run the movies and provide lights.

Mr. Attari has received due recognition in connection with previous missions to Utirik both on the Liktanur and the Wheeling. Dr. Pratt has been made aware of Mr. Attari's boasts on the number of referrals he has had and will get in the future for his back problem.
