I asked him if there jkas j tude of If any danger of anything being Aik- plained he en ffrpm my automobile, to which lows at v he merely said that if there jvas what sbrt - r rF —, anything lying around in my (car and why lie toleijated such condi- 1 . jj iji ij ' : . . l\ .. f !i j.. - 1 r 1 ■ i ;' I !f ! : l-i. ■/ 14 if l could not keep the fel- Ork. ‘Upon asking him of disi:ipline the>’ had i; -r—sr like to add at this time that he did riot even -scratch the surface, which is the main purpose of Srriy writing this letter. I want alt Ag gies is well as others to know'all the facts before they release their automobiles for work by students at the Southwest Technical: School.) After my automobile had been at the school a couple of weeks, I was notified by means of;a postajl card that I would have to dejiver) another piece of sheet metal . in order 1 to complete the work on iny car. According to the policy of the school, the owner of the Car fur nishes the necessary materials whereupon the school does the: nec essary work without charge. When I delivered the sheet mttal, the instructor admitted with some; re gret that one of the other which ;j( had' delivered before been stolen. I took the irifor and the loss without complaining. • M i ! Abdut one week before Eaitar, I went out to the school ihgain to see what progress had been mlade.

I asked him when my car would be ready to which he said he would trjr to have it out by Easter. I received a postal card April if-that my bar was ready. When, I went put the following day, my car; was ready insofar as the school Was iconcerned. With rill due respect tri the honest stu dents at the SWTS, I would like I rto point) out jthe true conditions as | ithey exist at thjt school. My car j was ready insofar!as the body work ' arid the painting was concerned. Howevefl, something else which must be said and! which is of such vital importance to anyone who is going to take hh, car there is what one might find when he goes out for his [car which is ready accord ing to the schoo| . : ] Upon! [looking over my car, I’ll admit that tihe students painted it well and repaired the body.
