ATTRACTS INTEREST OF EXPOSITIONERS BENEFIT DANCE WELL ATTENDED ANOTHER PLANNED An attendance of more than 300 per- sons, estimated by Mr. Vernie Richards and George Dull In charge of entertain- ment, was present at the benefit dance held at the Grande Ballroom, March 6. With the Craftsman's share of the proceeds, thirty dollars, Mr. Richards will purchase jackets, with the letter C on them, for the basket ball team. Plans are also being made to Issue let- ters to class and sectional teams. The club wishes to express its thanks to the students who attended and also wishes to announce that another dance will be held in the near future. Henry Ford Trade School, H. F. T. S. Alumni, and Ford Motor Company Appren- tice School Field Day and Picnic will be held at Bob-Lo Island, June 13, 1936. Of the 560,000 persons who attended the Detroit-Michigan Industrial Exposi- tion, nearly all visited the Henry Ford Trade School Exhibit. The milling crowds became suffi- ciently interested to ask a great varie- ty of questions, men from a mechanical viewpoint, and women, as to how their sons can enroll in the Trade School. Many inquired as to the nature of the work and what part of the Ford car the boys are making. As Trade School boys make no part of the Ford V-8, the latter question had to be cleared up to the satisfaction of the inquisitors. Although the exhibit was not pur- posed as an advertising unit, it did bring forth the objectives of the Trade School, what and how the boys are taught and how they may specialize in any one trade. More than 7000 T. S. pamphlets were passed out to those seeking information.

PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1956 nr or did niBninnr m Richard. Marshall has left the Trade School to Join the U. S. Navy. Armour Doyle, F-l class, is taking aviation lessons at Bums Airport. Amateur wrestling and soccer play- ing were some of the sports indulged in by Mr. T. Liljegren. He was also rated very high as an ice skater. Mr. and Mrs. Urban Lucas are the proud parents of a six and a half pound daughter. Since the D classes have been studying Chemistry, they no longer say, Pass the salt , in the cafeteria, but instead exclaim, Pass the sodium chlo- ride. Bill Rogell's nephew, Edward Mosier, is in T-F-2 class. T S. Enrolls Native Americans When the new semester began in Jan- uary, three Indian students, Wilfred Tyosh, Charles Cardinal, and Samuel Schofield, all descendants of the Chip- pewa tribe, were enrolled in the Trade School. The boys were born and reared on the L'Anse Reservation which is lo- cated near Lake Superior in Baraga Coun- ty, Michigan. Charles was a student of Baraga High School. Samuel and Wilfred attend- ed the L'Anse High School, the reserva- tion being divided into two villages, Zeba and Baraga. The main occupation of the Indians on this reservation is carrying out Gov- ernment projects. The present project is to build roads through the various forests. These roads serve as fire lanes during forest fires, as conflagra- tions occur often in this region. The boys related that they are ac- quainted with Gabriel Torshia, the old Indian chief who first settled the L'Anse Reservation. The Craftsman Athletic Club dance will be held tonight at Grande Ballroom. Two For One When the name Henry Ford is called in the W-G-2 class, two boys respond. Henry and Ford are the sur-names of the Lawrence twins. They were brought into this world in the Henry Ford Hospital and now wish to be brought into the me- chanical world by attending the Henry Ford Trade School. Although Henry and Ford can wear each others socks, they can not wear each others baseball glove, being right and left handed. T. S. Graduate Wins ®500 Prize Waiting in the lobby of the Rex Theater February 24, Just prior to being declared the winner of the $500.00 Luck- 0-Gram prize, Nickolas Homick, a Trade School graduate, tried to sell his tick- et for 50 cents. He would have been a very despondent boy if he had found a buyer. When the winning number was called, Nick was in the lobby, and the manager had almost left the stage before he let out a terrific shout, and went running up the aisle to the stage. Nickolas graduated from the Trade School in January 1935, and is attending apprentice Bchool. Walter Dorosh is organizing a Trade School Jazz Band. For further particu- lars inquire at the library.

The f orming of good bat its should be our utmost effort. We are being trained to acquire good habits in the handling of mechanica. tools. Our most important too] is the English language. It is uses! more than any other. Why not use the English tool as carefully as you use other tools? Probably there is no mistate which so unmistatetbly indicates the workman's careless use of this English tool as fj,oes the double negative. Two no-words in the same sentemce cancel each other, resulting in a positive. The no-words are: no, not, nothing, nobody, none, never, hardly, etc. Any is not a nega- tive word. Wrong Bight Be doesn't have none. He has none. 1 haven't no pen. I have no pen. Be can't hardly run. He can hardly run. 1 don’t know nothing. I know nothing. Everyone--a few probably without knowing it—Is indebted to the great PTench scientist, Louis Pasteur, con- queror of disease, whose life story is told In a film that is now being shown in a Detroit theatre. Pasteur discovered the part that germs play in disease and in many of life's functions, and thus saved and prolonged millions of lives. Men today live, on the average, fifteen to twenty years longer than when Pasteur was born. GLErr fV . rtirr iiS -.r been singing in vari- ous quartets.

Textbooks Gain Recognition Statistics repealed recently by Mr. A. B. Gasser, of the Trade School ■ book store, show that the popularity of the textbooks written by the instructors has been steadily increasing. Tears of experience and research have gone into the compilation of the books now available. Their educational material is comparable to that found in much higher priced manuals of instruc- tion. Seme of the important universities and colleges using our books are: State Teachers' College, Buffalo, New York; United StateB Naval Training Station; San Diego, California; the Universities of Cincinnati and Southern California; City Colleges of New York City; and the National Tsinghua University, Peiping, China. Individuals and schools from forty different states, besides Europe, China, Japan, and South America, are using our textbooks. Sales have climbed from twe hundred to fifteen hundred copieB £ month. During February alone over $80C worth of copies were sold.
