Youth Class In
Auto Mechanics
Starts Wednesday

Opportunity awaits the local
youth who has not yet found his
place in life, according to w. R.
Taylor, who returned from a Phoe-
nix conference Tuesday with plans
completed for an Out of School

The opening meeting will be
held Wednesday evening, April

High School gymnasium. Enroll
ment must be made in advance at
Taylor's office in the high school.
Eligibility for attendance requires
that applicant be out of school
and between the ages of II and
25, inclusive. The class is organ
lied under the national defense
program and the federal govern
ment assumes full cost of all in
struction.
The class will meet five nights
a week, from to 10 in the eve
ming, for II weeks, at the high
school. Fred Slater, of Slater
Auto Supply, selected for his me-
chanical knowledge and years of
experience in the field, will in
struct the class.
These classes are being organ
lied nationally to give basic me-
chanical training to rural boys,
who will later be given opportun-
ity to work in airport and other
mechanical factories contributing
to the National Defense Program.
Work will depend upon the boys
ability, said Taylor, and continued
enrolment in class will depend
upon the earnestness of the stud
ent and regular attendance.
