E. H. Stoelting Vol. 1, No. 3 Fri., Feb. 14, 1936 SAFETY—PRIME ESSENTIAL Our school shop has always been proud of its safety record and the small number of major accidents occurring in it. In the past two years, major acci- dents have been reduced to a very small per cent. This is due to the fact that when an accident occurs it is so closely studied that repetition of another sel- dom occurs. When a major accident does occur, Mr. E. Y. Peterson, Mr. William Blakesley, or Mr. William Moore are im- mediately notified of the case. It is then studied by one of the three in or- der to prevent another of the same kind from occurring. Several hernia cases were sent to the Henry Ford Hospital during 1935 by the school.. Each one was caused by the student doing some heavy lifting which he should never have done. Every boy is cautioned by all the shop instructors never to do any heavy lifting. If the boys would work as instructed, ninety- nine per cent of all accidents would be avoided. A major accident has not occurred for some time, and the pad containing reports that are filled out by the in- structors is gathering dust from lack of use. Please help us to keep it gather- ing dust. Some men are considered theories because they never work. The faster a man is, the less dif- ficulty he has catching up with things. When Do We Eat Fifty-two tons of meat, 5,200 poundB of butter, 32,000 loaves of bread, 1,976 bushels of potatoes, and 429,000 bottles of milk, besides eight miles of hot dogs and bushels and bushels of corn, peas, and tomatoes. No, not the provisional requirements for the Detroit Zoological Park, but the amount of food consumed annually by the members of the Trade School. According to Mr. Gordon A. Yerex, the cost of preparing and the food itself totaled $103,000 last year. Preparatory to the meal, the floors and tables are cleaned, the bread and dessert distributed and the tables set. Then the truck arrives with the food which has been prepared under the direc- tion of Mr. Rene De Raine of Coffin and Nunnelley. When the victuals are receiv- ed, they are reheated and served under the supervision of Mr. R. L. Bailey. The lunchroom is ready and although the diner's concern is here ended, the staff must finish cleaning and make ready for the next day. MAGIC VERSUS SCIENCE At a Father and Son Banquet last Friday evening, February 7, Mr. Keith Glassley was called upon to assist the magician. Due to ignorance of the magic charm, Mr. Glassley was unable to pre- vent three playing cards from passing through his coat and entering a sealed envelope in which he had placed fifteen cards. On counting the cards, after they had been taken from the sealed en- velope, Mr. Glassley found three extra.
