Open Night at Trade
School Is April Is

The State Trade School Open Night
which has come to be an annual event
in this section patronized by hum
dreds from all parts Of the county will
be held this year on the afternoon
and evening Of April 25th. The af-
ternoon session is planned to help al
leviate the congestion which occurred
last year in the evening hours. IL is
thought that many who can so con-
veniently arrange would prefer to
visit the school during the afternoon
hours and this would operate TO
spread the numbers over a longer
period and make the occasion more
pleasant for all who attend.
