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.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1936 •a TIDBITS Bill Carroll of the M-B-2 class, a novice featherweight in the Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament, won his first two touts, the second by a one round knock- out. Robert Hennessy's Dad is an amateur boxing referee. He has refereed most of Joe Louis's fights here in Detroit. The picture of the lunch room was taken with Mr. Marvin Bushman's camera by Mr. 0. Rowland Scott and developed by Mr. Ray Hollander. Robert Bridgeforth devotes his spare time to the teaching of tap dancing. There are 148 Trade School students attending evening classes in Detroit. Mr. Weaver aroused the class in his latest illustrated liquid air lecture when he poured liquid air on his tongue. Valentines Day Age Old Custom Saint Valentine is the name which was given to several Saints and martyrs of the Christian church of whom the most celebrated are two martyrs whose festi- vals fall upon February 14. The most reliable accounts show that both lived during the third century and died on the same day. The anniversary of their death has became known as Saint Valentine's Day. The fact that this day is celebrat- ed as a lovers' festival has no connec- tion with the Saints, but is purely acci- dental . Both Chaucer and Shakespeare refer to the observance of this festival on the day In early spring when birds first choose their mates. In earlier days it was the custom for the young people to draw lots deter- mining which young man and young woman should be each others valentine . The couples thus drawn exchanged gifts, and in some cases were even regarded as be- trothed. ANON YMOUS PACKAGE REVEALS BOTHERED CONSCIENCE A package containing fifty cents, a letter, and two books was recently re- ceived by Mr. John J. Onderko, the libra- rian. The letter revealed that the books had been stolen from the library about three years ago by a former Trade School student who had decided to redeem his larceny. The money was to pay for dam- ages incurred to the books. Identity of the student is unknown. ALL IN A NAME During the Medieval Ages the people had no family names. As the population Increased, family names were needed to help distinguish people with the same first names. Some took the name of their father or, if they preferred, the name of their trade. The son of Richard would become Richardson; Henry, the smith, Henry Smith, or John, the cook, John Cook. If a person didn't want the name of hie trade or the name of his father, he would adopt the name of some important date or Saint's day, for example, St. John. The name of the place where a per- son lived was often used as a surname. Hadley is a good example; the word means pasture in Norwegian. -Charles Gregory SAYINGS OF THE NOT-YET GREAT Mr. Keith Glassley—What the hotel bill is the matter with you fellows? Mr. R.
