NOT TO HOLD NIGHT SCHOOL THIS YEAR Local Woman's Club Hopes to Resume Work In 1934 The adult night school, which has been conducted annually for the past several years under the sponsorship of the Elkin Woman's Club and aided by various civic or ganizations and individuals, will not be held this year, due to the fact that the club funds appropriated for this purpose are tied up in the closed Elkin National Bank. A fund has been set aside for this work and it is hoped that next year the school can be conducted as us ual. It was thought for several months that the school could be held this year and an announcement to this effect was made but before definite plans could be made the amount necessary to pay a trained worker could not be raised. When the amount was raised a trained worker could not be secured, therefore this phase of the club work will be dis pensed with this year, according to Mrs. W. W. Whitaker, director of the night school work. The school has been one of the main projects of the club and has received the wholehearted support of the town and it is regretted that the several pupils who have attend ed the classes cap not continue their work, however it is gratifying to know that the club is working un tiringly to resume this work next year.
