جلد 21 507 تاریخ احمدیت All it took to end at the prescribed time was discipline and the courage to impose it۔There was a lot of grumbling, especially because Ch۔Zafrullah began his gavel and began his meeting at exactly the announced time, whether there was quorum or not۔After a few doses of this medicine delegates were at their desk on time۔When meetings of the plenary session had to be adjourned because the delegates were not ready, Ch۔Zafrullah told them bluntly that if they were not ready they should give up their receptions and dinners and do their home-work or else return after January to finish the work۔He would not prolong the debates beyond Friday, the 21st at 6 p۔m۔(the entire Secretariat Christmas vacations would have been disorganized, if we had to work on Saturday or Monday)۔Incidently, by doing this and adhering so strictly to rules Ch۔Zafrullah saved the United Nations a petty penny; according to estimates of Secretariat given to the Fifth Committee, one week of Assembly plenary meeting and of one single committee meeting cost exactly 42,000 dollars۔Last Years second part of the Assembly with only the fourth commitee and The Plenary in session lasting seven weeks, cost 4,00,000 dollars۔This money-saving which is a corollary of Ch۔Zafrullah's iron discipline is one of its most important if less noticed aspects۔
