The third phase of instruction will be given to all members of the local Guard unit at the Neillsville Armory on Saturday, April 17.

The specialized program has been authorized in addition to regularly-scheduled assemblies.

Officers of the unit who attended 16 hours of instruction at Camp Douglas on March 6 and 7 were 2LT Ronald K. Lawrence and 2LT Leslie J. Delo.
