before making an employment
agreement for training and allows
a student a two weeks probation

is not obligated to retain the stu

The school in turn meets an ex-

partially trained students, helps
the student feel that he is making
a definite contribution so that he
may take pride in the challenge
of accomplishment, bridges the
gap between school and business
by developing a broader compre-

required of a new employe, and
promotes a better grade of school
work and more efficient workers.
The student himself gets OBJ

his chosen field Of work; to de-

The diversified occupations and

plan is CONSIDERED entirely lOSt.
The success of such a program
can be assured if there is a CO.

'DELBERT BROWN
 X FOUND GUILTY
 MINOR DEFENSE

l A jury of nine men and three women deliberated for over 22 hours Eere before arriving at a verdict in the trial of Delbert F. Brown. charged with assault with intent to kill, wound or maim When the jury finally returned to the court room this morning at II o'clock, Foreman Curtis Shattuck announc- ed to Judge Harry E. Pratt that the jurors had decided that Brown was guilty only of carelessly point ing and discharging a firearm at otter persons. This offense, a mis- demeanor, is punishable by a max mum of one year in prison and a fine of $l,000 The original charge, felony, carried a maximum of 20 years in the penitentiary.
 On its first ballot, the jury voted 8 to for conviction of Brown on the original charges, but after dis cussion, the vote changed to 9 to 3 in favor of the lesser offense, and renamed that way during all the night session until the judge called the jurors into court at 10:30 a. m. today for additional instructions Within twenty minutes after they had left the court room, this morn ing, the jury returned it's final yer dict.
 The three, who held out during the lengthy session, were in favor of finding Brown guilty of the ori- ginal charge, but were finally won over to the majority side follow ing the judges supplemental infor- mation. At no time did any mem bers of the jury vote for Browns acquittal.
 Brown was accused of shooting Robert zuboff in the leg at Hood Bay on February 24.
