a [[CENTRAL|Central]] [[ORG|Org]] orders an important number of books or meters. The order gets messed up. The next thing we know we are in a cable [[RUSH|rush]] -to-fill-the-order [[EMERGENCY|emergency]] and up to our ears in phone calls, [[SPECIAL|special]] letters, etc. Now somebody dropped a ball somewhere and [[ROUTINE|routine]] activities were not carried [[OUT|out]]. Thus they became emergency activities.
