Local Happenings A CORRECTION I wish to correct an error in The Courier in regard to the "pounding party" given Dr. and Mrs. Ayers two weeks ago. This was given by the two unions of the senior B. Y. P. U., but through an error of my own I stated the John Blanton union gave the party, when I should have said by both the senior unions, and I take this way of apologizing for a misunderstanding on my part.
