PAGE FOUR THE CRAFTSMAN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1937 Paul Borbey, W-B-i, pur- chased a new leather-bound Bible, costing $20. This book has a brief biography of every person in the Bible. John Kish, M-B-4, John Car- abas, T-D-3, and Nick Vasi, M-B- 3, all were on the Highland Park Rangers championship baseball team last season. Ray Visconti, M-A-2, had a great, great uncle who was a Duke of Italy. L. H. Bartholomew, class- room instructor, was the subject of last weeks' Guess Who. Dr. Fryklund's Speech and technical training. To fill this need then, private schools stepped in and showed the way. Through these centuries occupational choice has been a problem Just as it is today. Am I fitted by nature for my voca- tion? In all consideration of oc- cupational choice there is a great human factor involved. Psychologists tell us that there are many things at which we can work and be successful, if one is normal—having a good body and an average degree of intelli- gence. To be successful one must have right ideals and atti- tudes; a will to go on. For this the real training starts in the home. There are good feelings attached to success Just as to all good things. We all do things that have a suggestion of good feelings attached. We a- void the unpleasant things, and failure is unpleasant. There- fore, the right ideals and atti- tudes carry us on in our efforts to success and gain pleasant feelings. Feeling makes us do as we do. Success is reached by those having the right ideas and atti- tudes and a willingness to pay the price in hard work. All this requires effort. We learn by repetition and hard work. Trade training is good for the soul, and good for economic reasons. Feelings and good ide- als and attitudes to succeed combine to drive us on. 'Tello,' Only Seeing Eye Dog in City I feel safe and completely out of danger whenever I am with Tello, said Ellsworth G. Snith, insurance man and lawyer, in his home when discussing his Seeing Tello Eye dog. Mr. Snith has been sightless since the age of 15. Tello is the first Seeing Eye dog to take up a permanent residence in Detroit. It is Tello'8 duty to keep Mr. Snith out of danger when crossing streets or in heavy traffic. To accomplish this Mr. Snith was trained with Tello at the Seeing Eye headquarters in Morristown, N. J., which takes about a month. Upon reaching street cross- ings, Tello guides his master to the edge of the curb and stops. Mr. Snith finds the edge immedi- ately with his foot and then commands Tello to go. Tello obeys orders and directs his master when told to turn left, right, or go forward. By means of a handle fastened to Tello's harness, he guides Mr. Snith around pedestrians, side- walk obstructions, automobiles, or anything which may interfere with his safe progress. If the dog is in the middle of the street and sees an approaching car he will stop until the car passes and then proceeds cross- ing. There are approximately 300 J9 E EJ BV1 HM E Lewellen McGowan, '20, ia assistant superintendent of the glass plant of Ford Motor Co. Robert Forton, '21, is a production engineer at the Pack- ard Motor Co. Charles Paganini, '30, is employed by the Artisan Guild. Norman Mitchell, 31, is working in the spindle engineer- ing department of the Excello Corporation. John Woods, '34, is a guard for the Wells Fargo Armored Car Co. Seeing Eye dogs in the tJnited States, very few being born in other countries, although Tello, a police dog, was born in Ger- many. These dogs when l£ years old are trained by qualified in- structors. It takes three months to educate the dogs, first teaching them obedience, then the principles of guiding, and, finally, studying disobedi- ence, for a dog must disobey any command which might lead its master into danger. In case that anyone should happen to see a Seeing Eye dog with his master, it is important to know that the dog is capable of taking care of himself and his master. The dogs sole inter est in life •is his master and the affection or assistance free others will disturb the harmony between them. If an introduction is being made with Mr. Snith, Tello will not be satisfied until he too is introduced. This is done by merely applying one's hand upon Mr. faith's, then he will gradu- ally withdraw his hand, leaving the strangers to rest on Tello's head. In this way friendship has taken place, for he knows that a friend of Mr. Snith is a friend of his. The cost for training each dog is nearly $1,000, but very few students pay the entire sum. A maximum obligation of $150 as the share of the expense of each student is assumed, payable when and as he is able to do so. The Seeing Eye Organization was founded in 1929 by Mrs. Harrison Eustis.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1937 Give it the Gun! George Maconochie and hie buddy, Lieut. Russell A. Ross, watched the ground came up to meet them, spinning as it came. As a crash seemed unprevent- able, Mr- Maconochie told his buddy to Give it the gun and make it a good crash while they were at it. He was only acting on the advice of their captain who told them to do that in such a predicament so as to bring no suffering. Though not on the battle field, this was one of the many scenes that occurred at training camps in Texas in 1918, said Mr. Maconochie. Mr. Maconochie and his buddy had taken off for a observation flight. They were being pro- pelled swiftly along, when sud- denly their craft turned nose down into a dizzy spin. Hi8 buddy gave it the gun and to their surprise the ship came out of the spin and leveled off. It took a little time be- fore the full meaning of what had happened dawned upon them. Mr. Maconochie is in charge of the heat treat department. Bowling Standings Po8.

PACTS THREE Craftsman Baseball Team Gets Medals As a reward for winning the championship of the Highland Park Recreation League, each mem- ber of the Craftsman baseball team recently received a small bronze medal. These medals, one inch high with a special monogram In the center, were presented by W. J. Ballard, head of the Highland Park recreation department, to the fifteen players composing the team. The team, coached by V. F. Richards, finished the season with nine victories and two de- feats . In the two game knockout series, the Craftsmen defeated the Subjagator team, 22-4, and won from the Hawks on a forfeit to assure the team of a champi- onship. In the Subjagator game, the Craftsmen collected eight runs in the first inning, Jumping in- to an early lead which the oppo- sition never overcame. Fred Butler, who relieved Harold Hoffman in the second inning, held the opponents to one run in the remaining innings. Leading hitters for the sea- son were H. Hoffman, pitcher, and V. Hunter, catcher, hitting .545 and .471 respectively. Cart You Design ? Here's a chance for boys who like to design. A booster emblem is wanted for our school. Many boys bought their own let- ters, and those who have earned theirs feel that this is unjust. Students having Ideas are asked to sketch them, and hand to V. F. Richards, who, with J. P. Heinz, and L. H. Bartholomew, will se- lect the best. Basketball Standings Team Won Lost Pet.

®he (Eraflamatt PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OF HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL NOVEMBER 19, 1937 VOL. 5, NO. 4 Federal Men Visit School Representatives from the two United States Industrial Re- formatories visited Henry Ford Trade School last week. The eastern reformatory is in Chillicothe, Ohio; western, in Elreno, Oklahoma. Overcrowding, lack of clas- sification, and idleness, accord- ing to these men, are the detri- mental influences in reformato- ries. To help combat against idleness and to give inmates a training in the skills, Federal Authorities have introduced in- dustrial training. These visitors said they are endeavoring to have their inmates do what boys do in our school--make nothing that can not be used. They use the Elec- trical, Shop Theory, Auto Me- chanics, and Mechanical Drawing books that are published in Henry Ford Trade School. The inmates of these in- stitutions were sentenced for Federal misdemeanors. All are first offenders. Mueller Talks in Toledo William Mueller, Apprentice School instructor, talked before a group of high school and col- lege instructors of Northwestern Ohio at their recent teacher's session in Toledo. Mr. Mueller spoke to the theme How Practical Work of Ap- plied Mathematics Relates to In- dustry. He said Ohio schools are progressing toward appren- tice school training. School Gives to Fund The instructors of Henry Ford Trade School are almost as pure as Ivory Soap. Proof: Ivory soap is advertised to be 99.44$ pure and the number of instructors that contributed to the Detroit Community Fund equals 99.27$. In the recent drive stu- dents and Instructors opened their pockets to the appeal ’’Give Generously and contrib- uted $446.22, which is $171.70 more than last year. Four Get All-A Cards On the first report card marking, 164 boys qualified for the honor roll. Four of these received all A’s. They are Stanley Kaczmarek, W-B-l; Edward Piotrowski, M-A-l; Fred Mitchell, M-A-l; and William Innes, T-A-l. The cards were autographed by Supt. F. E. Searle and G. A. Yerex, person- nel director. Lost: One Beagle Dog Found: The Beagle Dog After successfully stalking pheasants, rabbits, and other small game, Fred Schiller, ap- prentice instructor, and his two companions had an anxious week. Their beagle hound, owned by a farmer, and valued at $50, pursued a rabbit into a near by wood and disappeared. After much fruitless calling, whis- tling, and shooting the worried hunters returned to the farm- house. The farmer said he would search for the dog the next day. However, this only partly re- assured the worried Nimrods. When they returned to the farm the next Saturday they learned that the farmer’s son had found the dog. He was in company of same Detroit hunters who had taken him to Detroit overnight, and returned to the same vicinity to see if anyone would be searching for the dog. Special Services to be Held Members of Morning Services received a hearty welcome at the Berkley Community Church, where they took charge of the Evening Services, Oct. 31. The group has now been in- vited to take charge of the Eve- ning Services of the Rev. Harold W. May’s Church, Sunday, Novem- ber 21, in Wayne, Michigan. The Rev. D. Martin, who will have charge of the Thanks- giving Services, is planning to bring in, as a guest speaker, a noted Evangelist. The services will be held at 7 a. m., Wednes- day, November 24, in the audito- rium. Musicale Planned for Ford Rotunda In the little theater of the Ford Rotunda, students of Henry Ford Trade School will pre- sent their second musicale even- ing, Wednesday, Dec. 22, at 7:30 p. m. The first musicale was held in the auditorium of the Lawrence Institute of Technology last June. This program will be spon- sored by F. S. Nicholson, direc- tor of the glee club and stu- dents quartet, and Keith Glass- ley, orchestra 'director. The program will feature yuletide carols and music. Tickets for the occasion will be distributed among stu- dents, parents, instructors, and friends without charge. The plan for distribution will be announced later. Orchestra practice is held every Monday evening at 7;30 at Robert Oakman School. The glee club and students quartet prac- tice from 3 to 4 p. m. each day during class week. Smith Loses Election Floyd M. Staith, instructor in machine construction depart- ment, was nosed out by 75 votes in the recent election at Claw- son Village for village presi- dent. Clawson, a village of over four thousand inhabitants, many of whom are employees of Ford Motor Co., is located ap- proximately three miles north of Royal Oak. Mr. Stallth received 285 votes out of 645 cast. Nesbit Thanks All Sympathetically, students and instructors of the school shop contributed $35 recently to purchase flowers for the mother of John Nesbit, senior, and to help defray expenses following the recent death of his father. Mr. Nesbit was killed in an automobile accident. Mrs. Nesbit was injured seriously. I want to thank all,” said John, for their kindness in ex- pressing their sympathies.”
