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.

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. A cat as in the next yard, and here 8 the story, laconically. Cat ees rat. Rat fights cat. Re- ult--dead rat. nr e no eb n nr n? A. L. Hansen, Supt. of the -bldg., and L. S.

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.

Displays Completed by Cutaway Dept. One hundred motors, sixty- five chassis, and other displays, requiring approximately 26,500 hour8 of work, reports Shop Supt. E. Y. Peterson, have Just been completed by the cutaway depart- ment of Henry Ford Trade School. These displays are sent to Ford branches, foreign and do- mestic, to Ford Rotunda, and to the permanent exhibit at 1710 Broadway, New York City. J. H. Wolfe Spends 20 Years in School J. H. Wolfe, Ford Appren- tice School director, has given 20 year8 service to the Ford Schools. Early in life he de- veloped the ambition to do my Job better than any one else can do it. This determination brought him face to face with J. H. Wolfe many problems. Perhaps his phi- losophy in life is summed up in the following poem written by Henry van Dyke. Let me but do my work from day to day, In field or forest or desk or loom, In roaring market place or tran- quil room, Let me but find it in my heart to say, When vagrant wishes beckon me astray, This is my blessing not my docm, Of all who live, I am the one by wham this Work can best be done in the right way. Lying on his stomach look- ing eagerly through a window in- to a basement machine shop, it dawned on Mr. Wolfe that he wanted to be a machinist. Al- though at that time he was ap- prenticed to a cabinet maker, he was successful in changing his apprenticeship to the Allis Chalmers Stationary Engine Works. All this occurred in Wisconsin. After serving his appren- ticeship and working in differ- ent machine shops at various SCHOOL DECEMBER 3, 1937 F C. A. Build Yachts as Woodcraft Projects In order to give the Future Craftsmen of America an opportu- nity to develop their own ideas in woodcraft, Robert Dale, draw- ing roam instructor, has re- ceived permission from Supt. F. E. Searle and Shop Supt. E. Y. Peterson to use wood pattern's benches and band saws, Mondays and Wednesdays, from 4 to 7 p.m. Each boy supplies his own wood, but tools are furnished by the school. Out of the 13 boys that are enrolled in this woodcraft pro- ject, 10 plan to build yachts. They are: Donald Frederick, Steve Ferega, Kenneth Fowler, Richard Cadieux, Walter Carlton, Mike Labick, Naaman Cochran, Arthur Bowering, Thomas Kirby, and James Lenck. James Konstantine plans to build a 15-foot motor boat. Gerald Lentz is interested in making wood articles for the home. Elton Howes plans to make a Christmas gift. J. J. Onderko, F.C.A. ad- viser, said that plans are being made to start projects other than wood work. Jobs, he came to Detroit, lured by the $5 a day then Just an- nounced by Ford Motor Co. At the employment office of Ford Motor Co., Mr. Wolfe was able to answer the questions of Max Fiedrich well enough to be given a Job in N-160 toolroom. From the time he became an apprentice, he studied mathemat- ics, most of this time was with a tutor. After much persuasion he began tutoring about twenty of his fellow workmen. To do this he made his attic into a classrocm. This attic teaching came to an end when he was given a Job in the Ford Apprentice School to teach mathematics. In 1923 Mr. Wolfe conceived the idea of writing a mathemat- ics text. For a time he and John Lott, who was then a mathe- matics instructor in the schoql, worked on the project. That same year the plans were aban- (Continued on Page 3)
