the lining can be burned of by
holding the brake partly on VIII
running in second gear for about
100 yards. Repeat the process when
ever the brake seems to be losing
It's efficiency, but do not overdo the
remedy. And, of course, take into
account the fact that the brake
will need adjusting from time TO
time to compensate for actual wear
on the lining.

AIRCRAFT STUDENTS
ARE MAKING PROGRESS
Class of so Young Men to
Graduate Here Next
Month

The eighty or more local Young
men. selected by the Government
for special mechanical training in
the aircraft industry. are progress
ing rapidly, according to the in
structOrs. The course is being
conducted at the Hagerstown High
School and classes are being held
eight hours daily on a five-day
week schedule
Unlike many other vocational
training schools. the work being
done by the young men is more or
less specialized. Only airplane
parts are being made and studied
by the students, who are divided
into four classifications = bench
mechanics, sheet metal, welding
and woodwork. Each group is IN
der the direct supervision of skill
ed instructors.
The training schools is the re-
suit OF a shortage of ski. ed me-
chanics, not only in the aviation
Industry, but many other plants
now engaged in the production of
arms, etc.. necessary for national
defense. While the students, who
finish their course next month,
will not be classified as journey
men, they will nevertheless, be
qualified to take over positions in
various plants without the neces-
sity of further preliminary train
ing on the part of company in
structOrs.
According to reports another
training school will be started I'M
mediately upon completion of the
present one. The training service
is now being established in many
other states and within d period of
six months many thousands Of
young men between the ages of IS
and 80 will be working in the var
iOus aircraft plants throughout the
Nation.

method this cop used was in d.

There was no indication Of cour-

yelped to the high heavens while
other citizens looked on. But in

tie things which younger cop
would take in his stride.
