Inability to work out a trainsehod
ule which would suit the purposes of
all parties, has caused a decision to
abandon the trade trip' planned to
Stamford, for April 24.
The original plan was to unite the
trade excursion with the delegation of
Fort Worth and Wichita Falls Dok-
kies, who would be in Stanford on
that date for the initiation of the class
of Tyros'
The Dokkies, however, would have
to have remained over until too late
at night to permit their returning on
the same train as the trade trippers,
and the Fort Worth Dokkies would
have to take another route to make
the trip a one-day affair.
