xIDAY, NQVj£-'BKR 19, 1937 leed for Pied Piper Prompted Rat Stories The drive to rid the city f Detroit of rats, has made its itizens rat conscious. The ollowing stories resulted. V. F. Richards, classroom nstructor, caught rats in Texas ith a tub half-filled with ater. This was covered with orn stalks and a few ears of orn. Rats, attracted by the orn, fell through the stalks nto the tub. Unable to climb ut, they swam until they were rowned. Nick Credit and Bertram ollis, mill department, used a ox trap with an ear of corn as ait to catch the rodents. I'll bet I've caught a undred rats in these traps, aid Mr. Credit. Mr. Hollis aid he used this trap in the oods of New York for catching mall game. Robert E. Bell, classroom nstructor, boasts of receiving ubbish and pebbles in exchange or potatoes. This exchange was ade by the gentlemanly, trade at. This species of the ro- ents leaves a token behind for verything they take with them. Henry Wurm, belt man, re- alls a day when one of his aps snapped on the leg of a at. The rat started through a ire fence. The trap, however, ould not pass through.

THE CRAFTSMAN I Boring at its Best When a Job requiring ac- curate boring comes into the school shop from the gage or toolroom department of Ford Motor Co., it is sent to the Trade School toolroom mill de- partment. Here the Job is as- signed to Charles White, shift 2, or Kenneth Stevens, shift 3 The above picture was taken a few weeks ago while Gilbert Penner was operating the Sip boring machine. He is now an apprentice In N-711-E die room. These seniors operate the most accurate boring machine in Henry Ford Trade School, the Sip. Ford Motor Co. has thirteen Sip machines. To get the highest degree of accuracy these boys first drill the Job within .030 or .015 of size, then it is bored to .0005. In order that the ac- curacy of the Sip boring ma- chine may be even greater than that of Its carefully made lead screws, each screw is fitted with an automatic correcting de- vice. This device is checked every two years by a man from the Sip Co., who has tools that are checked each year by the Na- tional Bureau of Standards. The Sip, a native of Switz- erland, is used for boring holes in gages, tools, and dies that must be accurately spaced. Its bed is rigidly fixed for accura- cy. This machine has two inde- pendent 8pindies that are six inches apart. The main spindle for larger work has nine working speeds arranged in geometrical progression from 45 to 400 r.p.m The small or high speed spindle has nine speeds ranging from 212 to 1870. PAGE THREE Garbage is Salvaged Wa3te Is not waste. Some- times it is soap, oil, coke, etc. Ford Motor Co. salvages all of Dearborn's table scraps. The garbage disposal de- partment was established six years ago to carry out industri- al experiments. Garbage from the whole of Dearborn is gathered each day and made into things of practi- cal use. In addition four loads a day come from Detroit. This garbage is all refuse that comes from the kitchen. The garbage is stoked into large cookers and heated from seven to twelve hours. Twenty- five pounds pressure are put on each of the four cookers. By fermentation of garbage, butyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, acetone, and cracklings may be obtained. Dehydrated garbage is pressed to remove grease, from which oleic acid, sodium soap, soluble oil, tar, tar oil, soft soap, drawing compound, and spray booth wash may be produced, while benzol, ammonium sulfate, and coke are obtained from pressed cracklings. Twenty-four paddles, mounted on a cylindrical shaft, are in each cooker. These pad- dles stir the garbage while it is dehydrated. After this proc- ess the cracklings are dumped into a revolving screen which removes the cans and rags. The cans are utilized as scrap metal The cracklings are pressed into cakes and taken to coke ovens for dry distillation. Arthur Adams, '24, is a patent draftsman in General Mo- tors Corporation. Thomas Ashley, '30, is an accountant at the Revere Copper and Brass Co., Detroit. Edward Bania, '31, is a foreman of a tool shop in Hughes Metal Specialties Co., Detroit. Charles Festian, '33, is a grinder hand in the Taylor Win- field Co., Highland Park. Terrance Roe, '36, is a clerk in the Purchasing Depart- ment at the Administration Build- ing of Ford Motor Co.

H. Stoelting Vol. 3, No. 4 Fri., Nov. 19, 1937 Appreciate Our Heritage The students of today, who will he the men of tomorrow, are living in an age which is highly improved scientifically over yesterday. Surrounded hy all kinds of conveniences, they some- times forget that these benefits did not pop into existence. Seldom do they stop to realize that their ancestors had to slave, to fight criticism and failure, to make better present living conditions. The pioneer Inventors were men whose character and stamina were strong and resolved. Fail- ure, they did not fear. Trials and hardships were overcome be- fore an education was obtained. They were ambitious and con- quered great obstacles. As students of Henry Ford Trade School, we have a greater opportunity to acquire skills, and are in a good position to strengthen our more' and intel- lectual facilities. Are we go- ing to push aside the opportuni- ties because of a few obstacles that may stand in our way? Editor's Mail Dear Editor: Many seniors do not know their shop grades. Can it be arranged to give the seniors shop report cards? Report cards will be given to seniors in the future. Sewer Under Construction Exp1osion-proof lights—a safety measure--are used in the sewer under construction in front of the B-building. Ordinary light bulbs are made explosion-proof by surround- ing them with Pyrex glass. Con- nections between the bulb and the cable are airtight and wa- terproof. Inside the cable are three wires, one for ground and two for current. This removes all possibilities of fires, ex- plosions, and shocks caused by short circuits. The sewer is six feet in diameter, having a 16-inch wall and approximately one quarter of a mile in length. The canal slip is its outlet. Because the main is constructed between two gas lines carrying a pressure of 16 pounds a square inch, a strong structure is necessary to prevent the settling of the ground near these lines, which would otherwise allow the lines to sag and cause leaks. There- fore, the 3 rings of vitrified brick lining are encircled every 16 inches by a 5-inch I-beam. Heavy steel plates, the same as those used in railroad tunnel construction, are placed between the I-beams. This main is constructed to receive drain water from roofs and roads, which would otherwise find its way into screens and filters in the Mill Water Plant, and also to increase the outlet of waste water to 200,000 gal- lons a minute. aGaunExsffi swnH0D This week18 waa born in a sod house at Me Crook Nebraska in 1891 At Missouri High, where he was graduated in 1905, he ex- celled in base- ball, basketball and football. at- tending t h State Teachers College he was also a three-let- ter man.

PAGE FOUR Edels Eat Coveted Bird For the past 18 years A. N. Edel, president of the instruc- tors howling league, has been an average bowler. However, last Tuesday, November 16, Mr. Edel Incensed with the thought of a lusc1ous turkey dinner, rose to heights previously unknown to him, to defeat the cream of Henry Ford Trade School bowlers and literally bring heme the bac on (turkey). The turkey, donated by Coffin Nunneley, went to the bowler, bowling the highest num- ber of pins abo7e his average. Mr. Edel emerged from the flying feathers with a score of 602 pins, which boosted his 159.5 average to 164, an increase of 4.5 pins. Although more than 80 in- structors have invited them- selves to help him eat his prize, he Insists it is a treat solely for the Edel family. With the M-A-l students, Vincent Goar ley, former HFTS in- structor, now at Denby High, con- ducted nearly 200 Denby boys through our school, Nov. 16. Bowling Standings Pos.

Another popular member of the family, Edgar, will also compete in the tournament. Because of a hernia opera- tion, W. F. Dopke is being re- placed by Ted Bonaventura, on B. C. Brewen's bowling team. The opening game with the alumni may not be such a push- over for the varsity, as they ap- pear to have the strongest team ever to represent their associa- tion, having with them two stars from last years Craftsman, Frank Mugerdich lan and Pete Qu inn. Hornets Down Cardinals By defeating the W-F-l Car- dinals, the W-E-l Hornets are now the W-section champions in the Intramural Beeball League. Previous to the champion- ship game the Hornets handed the Cardinals their first defeat of the season when they won in the closing minutes of play. The Cardinals were leading by the slim margin of a safety when Bob Nantais of the Hornets faded back and threw a long pass to Henry Staub in the end zone, putting the Hornets in the lead 30-26. The game ended a minute later with no further scoring. On Nov. 12 the same teams met at Miller School to play for the W-section championship. Scoring 18 of the 30 points, Bob Nantais acted as spark plug as the Hornets severely drubbed the Cardinals to emerge the W- section championship. The final score was 30 to 18.
