The war training classes in blacksmith
| ing win be in session at Randolph Center
next week The radio buzzer class in
this place resumed work Tuesday. As a
number of the men will be called within
week, considerable extra work will be
put in so the advanced pupils may quail
| fly for a certificate. A class in automo-
bile work will be formed in the near flu
ture. According to a ruling made by the

mitted TO the class should give their
name superintendent Patterson.
