New body lines, new color ings, mechanical improve ments. are among the fea- lures that represent progress in the automobile field dur ing the past year. The new lines of cars from the factor ies are being built to attract the buyers in beauty. con- fort and endurance. The cars are distributed through local dealers who are now showing the latest models.
 The accessory dealers have added many new features. The insurance agents are proud that their companies have put a premium on care ful driving by allowing cash discounts under certain con ditions where drivers have had no accidents.
 Even the dealers in motor oils and gasoline, dispensed from filling stations and roadside stands. are bidding for trade through new and attractive offerings for motor comfort.
 Each year the public feels that the top has been reach ed, but each year finds the motor industry and it's allied branches and service going a step further until the public wonders if the acme of per- lection will ever be reached.
 In this, The Patriots "Au- tomobile Number" !" dealers in this section are advertising their various lines. The diff ferent makes of cars are to be seen in local show rooms and demonstrations are gen erously given. All of the we'll known makes of auto- mobiles are locally distribu- ted and the prospective buy CT can easily learn the ad- vantages of the several mod els by talking with the dis tributing agents or their salesmen.
 It is anticipated that this season will see more automo- piles on the road than ever before. Prices have been at tractively lowered from time to time, so that it is possible for almost anyone to drive his own car.

SCHOOL PUPILS SATISFY
They Easily Find Employment and Prove Valuable To
 Their Employers
Letters of Commentator Received at
 the School

A student finishes his course at the State Trade School and receives his certificate. Another pupil graduates. Their names find their way into the columns of the local press and then, as far as the general public is con eerned. they are lost sight of. But this is not so at the Putnam State Trade School. Now and again tfe employers of these pupils write the school about the young men who have graduated from the institution and entered upon practical duties of their trade
 One of the purposes of the State Trade School is to train boys in the several branches taught, electricity, carpentry. machine shop, drafting, and other vacations, so that their service will be in demand. The graduates do not have to enter upon long ap- prenticeship at nominal wages. Per haps it may be said that through the coordination of the theoretical and practical experience that the school affords they are better fitted for Il cir Wnfh tfiAH tffG mar NiO fAtaN M0NhtA himself up in the factory. Within short time after they become aecli- mated to the routine of the factory they become more valuable because of their early training and the under standing of their job and the purpose of the work before them than do those who have learned their trade through the hard grind of practical experi nee that they may get by long years of training in the shop.
 Are Making Good
 Vocational education in this state is relatively new. Ii IS therefore gratifying to those in close contact with the effort along this line to learn that State Trade School pupils are making good. As members of the ad- vance guard have gone out from the several schools and demonstrated their ability there has come an in- creased demand for State Trade School graduates IL is not hard to place a young man who has eompleta ed his full course at the Putnam State Trade School. Tine first graduates proved satisfactory to their employ CTS. As more and more have gone out into the world word of their success has reached the school from those employing them. This is the bsst evidence that the Putnam State Trade School is producing skilled crafts men.
 Excerpts from some of the letters. taken at random, received at the school, denote the satisfaction of the employer of State Trade School grad uates and the increasing demand for more graduate pupils.
Putnam patriot., 1929-04-11

Other letters make inquiry of grad dates seeking positions. This evi- dences that large employers realize the benefits of State Trade School training. It would seem that cer- tificate of graduation from the Put nam State Trade School is the high est of recommendation for imme- diate employment
