Several hundred youths already
have qualified for admission, Searle
said, and a full quota of 1000 will
be filled before next June. As the

course. new applicants will be &C
cepted TO fill vacancies left by
those moving onto regular jobs
Only high school graduates who
are Is or 10 years and who live in
the Detroit area are qualified to
apply for admission TO this new
branch of the Ford school system.
Among other requirements are
recommendations from principals
of high schools the applicants al

"Thus. our preliminary train

will have TO be geared to cover
this new attitude of mind. The
additional skill in working

PLANS FOR TWO
CHAPTER XIV

Bob Hale suffered the tortures
OF the damned - he raced back
down the old mine road. 1t was
narrow, and winding, and 50 re-
quired 10 minutes at the best
possible speed. He was sobbing
in . sort Of restrained hysteris.
Neither he nor the man with.him
could speak. Bob had black
visions of his village completely
buried or at least laid In death
and ruin. Specifically, he suf-
fered in seeing Carolyn Tyler
dead a thousand ways.
He swerved around the last
curve, then, and instantly identi-
fed Carolyn herself.
He yelled at her. CAROLYN!
.CAROLYN!"
It was q wild, frenzied cry
which slipped into infinite glad
ness when he saw that she was
actually running.
The7iilase seemed intact, and
other folks were stirring now,
but he recognized Carolyn from
afar partly because he 50 desper-

for Carolyn's haxen curls. It
had topped-just right - her

to emphasize her a. the slender.
lovely girl she was.

had to, jumped out and started
