Fourteen hundred and thirteen car
loads OF coal were turned out by the

the Fairmont region can do when it
gets a chance.
Today production will not be so

coke cars in the region but the place

standpoint, did not get cars until aft.

No Coal Club This Week.
Plans were on foot to hold a meet
IN gof the Coal club this week at which
A. Brooks Fleming. Jr.. who is presi-
dent Of the club, and also the produc.
ton manager Of the district, would go
into detail regarding some OF his plans
for the new office. but last night Mr..
Fleming was called east for a consul

War department and they are outlined
lesson by lesson
II is expected that the radio course
will appeal TO not a ;lw young men
and especially 10 the Young men up
around Warrington where several
Young men lave already taken radio
operating and entered the service
This course will enable any Others
To get the instruction without g0ine
away from home. as North West and
the other Warrington district lads
did.
Mr. Carpenter was very much pleas
ed with the fine cooperation which
he received here Every one he ap

his certificate will secure placement
for him in special army service. The

Quartermaster corps, the aviation So =.
ton or one OF the other specialized
army branches, etc.
9. Time ReQuired-Time required
to secure a certificate depends on how
hard the student works and how muhc
he already knows Many men are de.
veloping a good radio operating speed
in about 80 hours of practice. Men
who are now familiar with automobile
work make rapid progress in that line,
and so on.
10. Effect on Draft Call-Enroll.
ment in these classes will not affect
draft call. After a certain amount
o Training a student amy apply for
induction and be called by draft
board for an army training school or
